Ogre Posted March 10, 2019 Report Posted March 10, 2019 My mother’s side is Irish...grandma did the boiled dinner...and corned beef and cabbage.. My wife’s paternal family is 100%...the last name...the first names...my wife’s first name is Gaelic for Ireland. I’m pretty sure there’s a leprechaun or two in the bloodline. I do a corned beef round...waaay better than brisket or point....and I always do soda bread.... my wife is a Blue Jimmy fan and we’re five minutes away so we’ll do this too... Quote

Well he’s having a whole damn weekend party in Bloomfield....I’m assuming it has something to do with the unofficial holiday. Once your fully out from under that rock I’ll buy you a beer...I won’t paint your ass green though...that’s for family to do... Quote

I'd fight you over round vs. brisket, but I'd rather raise a glass to your re-education. Quote

LTS Posted March 11, 2019 Report Posted March 11, 2019 My BRISKET went into the brine the other day. Just waiting to be cooked. It will be done on Saturday though because I will be at the Sabres/Blues game on the 17th. Quote

I'm with you. Round is tougher, I like the tenderness of the brisket much better. But as long as the cabbage still has some crunch to it, I'll be happy. Not a fan of soggy cabbage. Quote

Don’t understand why you all want to eat all that marbled in, gelatinous fat. 3 hours ago, Claude Balls said: I'm with you. Round is tougher, I like the tenderness of the brisket much better.

I’ve got to have the cabbage cooked through....make a little side bowl of cabbage and broth to soak that soda bread...mmmmmm.

The gross part? Denial. Dude. This brings back memories. My Dad had a beef farm and was very good at the fattening, aging and whatnot...He was always sooo offended that I didn’t eat the fat...I did my best to reason with him... One bite...maybe two....That’s all my palate could handle.. Quote

You don't grab a hunk of it and chew on it. That is gross. Brisket is not a meat you cook in under an hour.... or even 2 hours. Despite this concept of "boiling" the brisket.. I'm not going to do that.. ever.. to any meat. It's going to get braised and slow cooked for a long time. Unless health dictates diet constraints I live by the "everything in moderation" mantra. I eat red meat perhaps once every few weeks. Quote

We do our shepherds pie as a St. Paddy’s day leftover meal. Chopped corned beef makes a great shepherds pie filling. Quote

Highly recommended if being in a sea of drunken shenanigans is your thing. Guaranteed the drinking has already started on the parade route. Quote
