Well there's the fine point then Remember when Paul M. Cook insisted
"poor Irish" ate corned beef, a St. Patrick's day tradition? Wrong. That's
the type of misnomer I'm talking about. I do love a good (American) corned
beef with cabbage, though, and so did my mother. I'll eat cabbage any day
of the week. Corned beef brisket twice a month if I could actually find it.
I love the stuff
