Why canned corn beef does not contain corn despite its name?!


Question: Why canned corn beef does not contain corn despite its name?
Answers:

it's corned beef since it contains "corn" (not corn/Zea mays) but the salt used is called corn, a coarse granular salt.



It's CORNED beef, and it refers to how it's made, not what's in it.

corn actually refers to peppercorns used to season the meat.
