I decided to make this today, it's starting to smell good. Later I will add
cabbage, a few small red potatoes and carrots for my DH. I also made 1/2 of
a recipe for soda bread for him. We're not Irish that we know of, but could
be a bit on both sides I suppose. Anyway, tomorrow I will have some sliced
corned beef and swiss cheese for lunch. I don't like the seasoning that
comes with it, but I sure do like it without the seasoning packet. Happy St.
Patrick's Day everyone.

Not sure what this seasoning packet is that you talk of Traditionally
(when we had corned beef growing up) we had boiled corned beef (usually with
onion, celery, cloves and bay leaves) and sides were cabbage, carrots, and
mashed potato. White parsley sauce was used. Here is a recipe that is pretty
close to what we had.

Don't recall ever using the peppercorns or turnips. Cabbage of course was
used instead of beans. We never used garlic in anything. First time I used
garlic personally was when I was first married.

It's a packet of what I believe are pretty close to pickling spices with bay
leaves. I hate it when they cook corned beef with that packet.

I always use the packet. It has coriander and bay leaf and other
interesting spices.

I never saw a flavor or spice packet, just some pickling spice on the beef
in the cryovac package it is sold in. I rinsed mine adn put it in a large
pot with water to cover well and a large onion. When it was mostly
cooked I put in big carrot chunks and boiling potatoes, with the cabbage
going in only about 10 minutes before finishing. I had prepared resch
beets(beetroot) the day before and dunken them in the water AFTER removing
the meat and other vegetables so they wouldn't bleed all over them, I
served this hot, with mustard and my granddaughter who had never had an of
this bfore liked the meat, potatoes and cabbage(she is not big on carrots)
and even had seconds on the beets! I hand't made this for years and it
was a great hit with the family.

I have never bought corned beef in any way other than fresh from the
butcher, usually sitting in a shallow dish of pickling brine. So these
sachet flavourings etc are a new thing for me to hear about. The last time I
bought corned beef I roasted it, wonderful flavoursome result.

If I was you, I wouldn't want to hear about them ever again. They are
downright nasty to me, but YMMV. LOL

I have never seen on either. the cryovac packet are he way my on-line
butcher delivers all the meat you order. Inside he bag was the meat in a
little brine with all the pickling spices.

My brother used to rost corned beef and found it a great dish for a casual
party.

Oh and leftovers... I love an open sandwich on rye with lettuce, then tomato
slices, topped with the corned beef spread with some wholegrain mustard.
Eaten with a knife and for of course. Back in the days leftovers were made
into fritters. Bite sized slices of the beef mixed into fritter batter and
cooked. Delicious with tomato sauce (ketchup)!
