And than...Hey, greetings from EuropeanCuisines.com! And thanks for the link back to us. <BR/><BR/>Just one note about your post: though the phrase "corned beef" does indeed hark back to the "corn-" or grain-sized chunks of salt used in curing and brining, this isn't the main difference between boiled bacon and corned beef. In Ireland, <I>all</I> pork joints are referred to as "bacon": what a North American would call bacon, in Ireland is called "rashers". So boiled bacon is pork, not beef. <BR/><BR/>Corned beef was what the immigrant Irish had to fall back on when they went to North America and couldn't get pork: they simply treated the beef the same way they would have handled boiling bacon back home. There's more detail on this in the article <A HREF="http://www.europeancuisines.com/The-Irish-national-dish-why-its-not-corned-beef-and-cabbage" REL="nofollow">at our site.</A><BR/><BR/>Happy St. Pat's, everybody!Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18372732597674484796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1088530273173361587.post-5494543077539366052007-03-27T10:45:00.000-06:002007-03-27T10:45:00.000-06:00Those do look remarkably like serrano peppers to m...Those do look remarkably like serrano peppers to me as well; however, the real deal is topped with sport peppers, not serannos. <BR/>I'm currently on trial for not posting in an entire week; but I'm working on catching up to my usual post-a-day routine. And I'm behind on my reading as well! I haven't visited a blog in four days, and I'm suffering as a result. I'm hoping to catch up today, but even that might not happen...<BR/>Good to see you here again, Susan!K8https://www.blogger.com/profile/15941011575831359960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1088530273173361587.post-38329418129804879322007-03-26T20:50:00.000-06:002007-03-26T20:50:00.000-06:00Hi, K8!"Sport" peppers on hot dogs?

And we're both in court, BTW; I didn't post on St. Pat's Day until after the date, either.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14970742141705361136noreply@blogger.com
