Is your corned beef in the crock?

[Ms_Ann]

The damn store was out of cabbage but I finally scored. Everybody is fucking Irish on St. Patty's day.

Have one piece in the fridge and 3 in the freezer.

Love corned beef. Typically goes in the smoker slow and low but I was lazy so the crock pot it is.

I like cabbage. But not enough to stink up my whole house. Fingering potatoes with a lemon butter sauce instead.

 

[Ms_Ann]

Right now mine smells a little like goat piss. I hope that settles down.

You making a pastrami?

 

[VaticanAssassin]

You making a pastrami?

Not really. Don't use the right spices and not that slow at 275. Three hours then another hour in a aluminum pan 1/3 covered in water. I also use a rub. The last hour draws out the salt and makes is just as tender as a crockpot.

I've got a point in the freezer that's going to be a nice pastrami when I have time.

I am neither Irish or Catholic.


We had corned beef and sauerkraut last week.

It's not called St. Pattys Day!!!!

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Doesn't McDonalds offer a corned beef McPatty today?

 

[Fata Morgana]

Fucking Irish wannabes.

Not in Ireland!

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Maybe Northern Ireland, the land of red-headed clowns?

 

[quietlylooking]

It's been curing in the fridge for a week or so, but will be going into the slow cooker this morning.

 

[hillblazer]

How long do you cook it in the crook?

 

[Ms_Ann]

How long do you cook it in the crook?

A month would be t oh oh long.

 

[VaticanAssassin]

How long do you cook it in the crook?

8 hours on low. 6 would probably do but I set it before I go to work.

 

[KingOrfeo]

Fun fact: The Irish in Ireland ate bacon and cabbage because bacon was cheaper than beef. Then immigrants to America found out that beef was cheaper here.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Well that and bacon tasted so much like Soylent Green...


:nods:

Is that the St Patty's Day version?

Fun fact: The Mexican soup pozole was originally made with the flesh of human sacrificial victims!

After the Spanish conquered Mexico, the people found pork (previously unknown in the New World) an acceptable substitute.

You and I both know, once they ate all the snakes, they turned on each other...


BODY OF CHRIST BITCH!

 

[KingOrfeo]

Oh, and there never were any snakes in Ireland since the last Ice Age. The story is probably a metaphor for St. Patrick suppressing the Druids.

There once was a daring young Druid
Whose manner of living was luid
He'd engage Druid lasses
In small talk -- no passes
But the next thing they knew they'd been scruid

-- Isaac Asimov or John Ciardi, I forget which

Well, until the Scots arrived.

corned beef and cabbage

Yep, beef in the crock pot, later will add the potatoes and cabbage,(l don't like my cabbage over cooked like it to be still a little firm and will have Irish soda bread with Irish butter, and lots of ground black pepper on the potatoes with malt vinegar on the cabbage... yum yum! Oh and a boilermaker too!
