a question for all you fucking limeys.

Cut them into 1in pieces and stew with potatoes and onion. Carrots are optional. Best stew ever on a cold day.
 
Really. To an Irishman, corned beef is what poor people put on sandwiches.

I think that's the genesis of it here as well. The poor Irish immigrants could only afford the cheap cuts of meat, and then only on special days. So, they learned to season and tenderize the brisket - hence the American Irish eat corned beef.

It's not unlike the poor southerners developing BBQ - "eating high on the hog" is where the rich folk ate. Poor folk got the cheap cuts and had to cook them forever.

the irish eat reubens?
Corned beef is not really a traditional Irish food.

see, i was kinda wondering about that honestly. of course, i don't have a clue what traditional irish food is. i don't think most americans do. irish restaurants just don't exist.

well, i've never seen one.

Until I moved to the states, I'd never seen corned beef that didn't come out of a tin. Corned beef hash is a quick, cheap meal when you're broke though.

I have no idea what reubens are.

Trad Irish food is Irish stew (duh!), boiled bacon and cabbage, champ (mashed potatoes and spring onions), very similar to English, really.

a reuben is a sandwich with corned beef, sauerkraut and swiss cheese on rye occasionally served with thousand island dressing. it's goodness.
