1. Myth: There's corn in canned corned beef
One of the most enduring misconceptions about canned corned beef is its connection to actual corn. Many people when seeing the term "corned," might naturally assume it has something to do with the vegetable. But there's actually no corn in canned corned beef. The name "corned" beef actually refers to the traditional curing process for beef, which was preserved with large grains of salt, also known as "corns." These salt crystals were generously rubbed onto the beef to help draw out the moisture and prevent bacteria from growing in the meat. It also infused the beef with the salty flavor that we know and love.
Of course, times have changed, and so has the curing process that most canned corned beef goes through. Rather than being rubbed with salt crystals, the beef is typically injected with a pickling brine that helps to tenderize the meat and give it that salty flavor, without including any salt crystals whatsoever. But, the name stuck, and we still refer to it as "corned" beef, even to this day

You can end up getting very lost over there.
I don’t think I’ve tried that one, but I like a lot of Goya’s products.
We’ve often made Colcannon to go with ours; but you Must shape it into a volcano, with a depression (a sort of ‘pond’) at the top for lots of melted butter :-)
Lots of melted butter............what could possibly go wrong?
Lol, and they add a non-existent syllable to the word “aluminum.”
Well, according to some here, a major heart attack.
For the rest of us: You only live once!
Go for the corned beef and hash in the can , much better with the potatoes , I usually add a little chilli seasoning and a fried egg.. Uruguay puts out some very decent brands in a can , usually blue and white cans ,, great shelf life ,, I keep several next to my stacks of canned fishes .
Thank you. I will look for it.

That’s a wonderful heritage to have. People who aren’t fortunate enough to have such influences in their lives have little idea of what it means and gives to us.
“Have you ever had a non-salty bacon?”
Yes. Side pork is uncured bacon. I used to get jumbo jalapeno stuffed olives and wrap them with side pork. Bacon was too salty.
I feel sorry for the young people of today. A lot of them are good kids, but haven’t had the benefit of parents or educators who knew how to raise them.
I worry most about their educations - they’ve never been taught history, philosophy, civics, historical art, the great values of religious teaching, etc. They are wrapped up in shallow pop-culture stuff that doesn’t teach them the values needed to actually live, perceive what is important and what is not, the capacity to overcome difficulty - or the great importance of all of that. Their inner lives seem like desperate deserts, to me.
I know that we fortunately have many who are not that way; but too many who are.
It’s all very sad.
