Of course I'm not talking about the sort of corned beef you get in a can. I'm talking about the sort that is a large cut of beef, pickled for a number of days (the butcher usually does that here), and then you boil that with spices and stuff for an hour or two and it is FABULOUS with spuds, cabbage and a mustard sauce. Slices of it are nice in sangers, too.

I thought (as the image slowly unfurled - we're on a satellite connection here in the sticks) maybe the corned beef was coloured green for St Patricks Day. But no, it's the pinky tasty corned beef I know and love.

Please explain!

I love the corned beef. If I make it though I get the good stuff.
