LOL... love it! So many ways to prepare and all pretty dang good.

The best corned beef we ever had was at my brother's wedding reception held at an Irish bar in St. Louis, Missouri.

It was a beef hindquarter that was still covered with the peppercorns and tender, juicy & great flavor. It was an interesting flight back to NY, though... LOL

but he'd do again it was that good.

Here in NY, we have the Jewish tradition of corned beef or pastrami sandwiches on good rye bread slathered with mustard or Russian dressing. And a grilled Reuben (sooo not kosher) has corned beef with saurkraut & swiss cheese on rye. yummm
