Corned beef is a cut of beef (usually brisket, but sometimes round) cured or pickled in a seasoned brine. The "corn" in "corned beef" refers to the "corn" or grains of coarse salts used to cure it. The Oxford English Dictionary dates the usage of "corn," meaning "small hard particle, a grain, as of sand or salt," to 888, and the term "corned beef" to 1621.[1] The term "corned beef" can denote different styles of brine-cured beef, depending on the region. Some, like American-style corned beef, are highly seasoned and often considered delicatessen fare. In Britain, corned beef is usually bought at the delicatessen, or may be in chilled packs or can be found in trapezoid cans, imported from South America. American corned beef is similar to Canadian smoked meat.

Who knows what's in those tins?
I remember a little place in London's windmill Street called the Nosh Bar where they served hot salt beef (corned)
on rye bread with the caraway seeds in. I am salivating as I write this just thinking about it. Unfortunately I don't think the Nosh Bar is there any more.Don't ever pass up any opportunity to eat salt beef hot with plenty of English mustard.
Delicious!!
