Anyone trying Corned Beef & Cabbage?

nanner said:

I never had it before. I am trying the recipe from Atkins that's on the
Atkins a Day desk calendar (or whatever it's called)
It's in the slow cooker and, to be honest whicha, it smells vile :oP

Well, we'll see what happens in a few hours when i throw in the veggies.

I know that corned beef is not eaten in Ireland on St Patrick's Day and I
know why the Irish in NY do eat it but I am curious...Is corned beed
eaten
across the US today?

Happy SPD everyone-

(St Patrick was Italian right?)

Tonight, I go to somebody's house to have corned beef and cabbage. I've
also never had it before.

well, let's both cross our fingers!

though corned beef and cabbage is NOT really an Irish dish in
Ireland, i still cook it every march!

i have used my crock pot, and simmered the thing all day.
VERY tender.
i then quick cook buttered cabbage (still very light green) and we
devour the thing!

well, let's both cross our fingers!

The lady who's making it is also making it in a crock pot, so we'll likely
have similar meals. I'll let you know what I think.

well, it's been going for 2 hours and looks like an ugly hunk of boiled
meat. Unappealing. I don't yet see how adding cabbage to this will improve
things....

I'll be cooking mine Saturday, when I have enough time to cook it slow
and low.

Priscilla, not Irish, but the stuff was on sale

Cabage improves a lot of things.. ever have a carrot after it has been
boiled with cabage? Yummy.. never had corned beef though.

no - i've never had cabbage except for sauerkraut - and that includes slaw
of any kind (i don't eat mayo, never did)

Nothing wrong with a carrot though, IMO.

Oh carrots are yummy.. just something about the cabage being boiled with it
that is good.

Yes, indeed, I have it fairly often. I like it with horseradish on it. We
actually had some about a week ago so not having it today, I am not in sync
with the calendar.

It takes more time than that, particularly in the crock pot. It does taste
better than it looks. I always put carrots in mine and onions, and potatoes
for my SO.

i will be adding onions and carrots. i am making green mashed potatoes with
the kids to surprise DH - LOL!

After 3.5 hours it's starting to look better. The whole thing smells like
cinnamon though - and I don't know why!!

Hmmm. I have some horseradish mustard. I'll have to try some on mine.

Ohhhh, corned beef is fantastic. Just about everybody I know here in
Michigan eats corned beef for St. Patty's day... either on the day itself or
on a weekend day. Plus it typically goes on sale around that time. Freshly
cooked corned beef is great! I had never tasted anything other than canned
corn beef hash before I moved to MI.

Mmm. Mustard. Mmm. Horseradish. MMM. Mustard AND Horesradish!!!

:-)

I made mine yesterday in a crock pot. It really needed 10 or more hours so
I finally had some for brunch this morning, scrambled with a couple of eggs.

My mom used to make corned beef and cabbage a lot when we were kids, but
it was more of a soup/stew than just a slab of meat and cabbage. In
fact, that's the only way I can remember having cabbage at ALL when I
was growing up, aside from occasional cole slaw. The key to making a
yummy CB&C soup is tomato sauce, burgundy, onion and mushrooms. I also
like zucchini in it. MMMMMmmmmmmm!

Corned beef is usually heavily salted and quite fatty, so it usually
tastes pretty good, even if it does LOOK unappetizing. I made some last
year, but ended up having my son eat most of it because it was TOO good
and, hence, too fattening because it's so calorie-dense.

And you can turn the leftovers into a Reuben bowlwich(tm)*.

I can't believe there are so many people who've never had corned beef!
It, like pastrami, is Jewish soul food!

*"Bowlwich" is a term my best friend, Ellen, coined. Basically, you
just take the ingredients for your favorite sandwich and mix them up
in a bowl. Her BLT bowlwich is particularly tasty.

never had that either...or tounge. I live in NY and it has no appeal for me.
Never went to Katz's deli. Don't need 3 lbs of meat on a sandwich. But my
idea of a good sandwich is a whole loaf of good italian bread with
prosciutto, aged provolone and roasted red peppers. mmmm.

I may have tried pastrami - these 2 old jewish men I worked with couldn't
believe I never had it. They took me to the Blarney Stone for lunch and I
had some kind of plate of a pile of meat. Didn't impress me whatever it was
I had that day!

I never tried mustard till I was 25 either. some i like some i hate. I would
never put it on a sandwich though. (but I didn't eat sandwiches you would
put that on anyway!)

Never had a ruben either - sounds like a mess. I did like the corned beef
and cabbage last night(my husband said it tasted like hot dog meat - I think
it was a bit better than that)

Here's a link to Katz's if you are the one person who doesn't know the
place http://www.katzdeli.com/

After St Pats day, there are often excellent low prices on the Corned
Beef overstock in the stores.

I used to hate it, until I actually tasted in on a great sandwich. Then,
I understood what I had been missing.

I had moved from the midwest to California when I tasted this great treat.

Really stacked sandwich with the horseradish sauce and other
trimmings... superb.

I am glad my mother never cooked it, because she wasn't a good user of
spices and trimmings, and she followed the midwestern habit of boiling
any vegetable till it was dead and soft.
