“Why is it called corned beef when it doesn’t even have corn in it?”

Have you ever wondered about that? Well, one reason stated is that “corn” refers to the large-grained salt used to preserve the beef. Its origin is often associated with the beginning of the salt-curing process of preserving meat. Although the definite date and place are still unknown, we cannot deny the popularity of corned beef worldwide.

Many countries in the world incorporate corned beef in their dishes. It also serves an important role in providing nourishment as a quick relief food item in times of war and natural disasters. Here in the Philippines, now that most of us are quarantined at home and the future is uncertain, many households have stocks of canned corned beef in their kitchens.

It’s usually prepared fried or sauteed in onion and garlic. But if you want to level up your corned beef game, here are some recipe suggestions that we found on YouTube.
