Howard, corned beef is NOT an Irish invention.  Both the Brits and the Jews have been doing it, and the word "corned" comes from the English word in the 16th century or so for kinds of salt, which was in pieces the size of corn.  Will you rewrite it or shall I? Irish people didn't even *hear* of corned beef until they came to NYC in the 19th century. [[User:Hayford Peirce|Hayford Peirce]] 03:05, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Howard, corned beef is NOT an Irish invention. Both the Brits and the Jews have been doing it, and the word "corned" comes from the English word in the 16th century or so for kinds of salt, which was in pieces the size of corn. Will you rewrite it or shall I? Irish people didn't even *hear* of corned beef until they came to NYC in the 19th century. Hayford Peirce 03:05, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
