dddave Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 The word "corn" refers to a brining (Salt water) process, nothing to do with the vegetable corn. US corned beef is usually a slab of beef flank or briscut that has undergone the brining process. Simmered corn beef and cabbage with carrots and quartered potatoes thrown in has long been called a "New England Boiled Dinner" I hated it as a kid but grew to love it as an adult.

carew66 Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Marmite...ah, yes. An Aussie of my acquaintance got me into Vegemite as well. They aren't really that similar but proper good. Less is more as they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooNoi Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 I put up a thread about this recently. I think the overall result came up 50/50 Vegemite to Marmite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is, I would hazard, a damned fine result for a poll. Or a Pole. Or in my case, a prole. (Thinks of bread and dripping. Nice) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
