And of course my f...

I really like corned beef. I'm kind of new to it, actually.
I mean, I grew up in America and I had heard of it, but I'm not Irish or anything, so I never really knew what it was.
Then when I did see it, it was either in a can (ew!) or it was not very widely available- maybe shoved into one corne...
