When corned beef "flats" aren't available, bacon is.

Fried cabbage anyone?

Corned beef is not something that is done much around Cajun country, at
least in our family, so I was basically introduced to it in the Army.

In basic training, AIT, and OCS, and all through my stint, there were
two things that you could always get your fill of when served in the
mess hall:

Corned beef and SOS.

When those two items were on the menu, there was always plenty left so
they opened the chow line for seconds, thirds, ad infinitum.

I like both, but I love corned beef, so I used to tank-up on days it was
served.

... never even tried to cook it, Linda, being from AR where condiments
and educational materials are not allowed to cross their border from
outside, never heard of it (she doesn't cook in any event), and it has
been at least 30 years since the last time I had it, until Saturday night.

Make you slap yo mama ...



And if it makes you feel any better, Kim has never prepared a bad pot of
corned beef. It always tastes just like it did Saturday night!

It tastes the same all week? ;-)
