Green corned beef, anyone?


Recommended Posts

For tomorrow, I mean.  My daughter always tints her corn bread green, so  guess we will be pigging out tomorrow on corned beef, cabbage and potatoes.  I wonder if you can tint the beef?  The food coloring is tasteless., just adds to the atmosphere.

Happy early Paddy's day. everyone!

I would not enjoy green corned beef.  Just thinking about it gives me flashbacks to the mystery meat served in my grade school cafeteria.

Green meat...yummy! :blink:

 

No, I think the dye should stay out of the meat. ;)

 

We have corned beef and cabbage every St. Patty’s Day as well as New Years Eve and a couple or more other times throughout the year, just because we love it. 

This year we have been invited to our son-in-law’s grandparent’s home for Saint Patrick’s Day dinner so my wife didn’t bother with making it this time. That means no leftovers. :unsure:

So your school had war surplus" meals, too?  Some things I won't eat to this day, like stewed tomatoes, corned beef, and weenies.

Save the green food coloring for the beer!

 

When I was a kid, a nearby town called Ireland had a restaurant that would always serve green beer on St. Patrick's Day. (Note, it was a town founded by German immigrants. I lived in Holland which was also founded by German immigrants.)

 

Anyway, I was a bartender in college at a steak house in a larger city. I took a bottle of green food coloring to work on St Patrick's day and served green beer. One waitress (a little elderly) refused to serve it. I finally convinced her that the customers would love it. 

 

We sold more beer that night than ever before!!!

I’ll take you back fitty sitty years to when I worked for a meat packer.  We worked all day in a refrigerator, sometimes a freezer. In one corner there was a caged off section where they had “dry aged beef” hanging. That was steer ribs and loins from Herefords.  Pieces of beef worth $200 or $300 before being put in the cage to dry age.

 

now after some months, pull a piece out, unwrap and look at it. Mmm, yummy, NO, green scummy, disgusting. Cut off and discard the outer quarter or half inch and you have a succulent piece of beef now worth maybe $500.

 

but that green was worth a vomit.

My dad was that way about spam, after living on for years in the S. Pacific in WWII. We used to go camping a good bit, I finally brought him around that Spam sliced thin and fried crisp like bacon is pretty dern good. But it took a few years.
