Corned beef is a cut of beef (usually
brisket, but sometimes
round or
silverside) 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. 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.
