Corned Beef with Cabbage Instapot
iWoodsman @iWoodsman
Historical note: the word “corn” in old and middle English meant any “small granular things” and did not specifically refer to the vegetable maize that came from the Americas. The opposite is true: kernels of maize came to be called corns, then corn. Corns of salt meant grains of salt, although the grains were indeed large rock-salt size as you say. And while the corned beef of Ireland was of the greatest commercial significance to the western world, heavily salted beef had been made throughout Eastern Europe and Asia for centuries.
