I used to go to a sandwich place near my office and eat a corned beef sandwich every Monday for lunch, my cholesterol went through the roof. I stopped going and focused on eating healthier food in general, and the restaurant closed during the pandemic, but damn I still crave that sometimes

It's only "horrible for your health" because it's so fatty. Otherwise it's just like any other meat. If you eat slow to allow yourself to be full from the fat it's probably fine.

>cholesterol
>nitrates
These are just words. You do you, king. Provided you excercise enough, of course

>corned beef
>contains no corn

>>18014015
maize was not discovered when the word corn was first used and defined

>>18013962
Fuck keto and nobody asked

>I've read that it's horrible for your health
Assuming that's actually the case, what magic words should any Anon type to make you immune to this reality?

>(3lbs for $20)
surely this is not a bargain, comparatively speaking
The issue is nitrites and salt content. Small portions only. I got two chuck roasts last week for similar price at Costco. You can buy a whole pork loin for similar too. A couple chickens. Just shop better.

Yeah $6.67/lb isnt terrific. Cheap chicken can be $1-3/lb. Pork almost the same. You can buy a 3lb pork shoulder whole for less than $10

> horrible for your health
If it's too salty then drink more water after the meal and you won't have any issues.

It only Seems cheap because you're comparing it to beef- which it isn't.

You can soak a lot of the salt out of it but honestly like tuskonka it's best used to make a health soup richer.

I made borsche last night, kilos of it. Some corned beef wouldn't have been bad

Why is meat so cheap in America?

>>18013940

>>18014007
nitrates a certifiably cancer causing. Regular salt is far from the end of the world though.

god damn I love cawn beef. you can't eat it often if you want to maintain a healthy diet but man, it's good.

also wedging the cabbage like that and steaming (not boiling!) is objectively the best way to cook and serve it. drizzle with melted butter and you're golden.

I've just moved into a new house and as get my kitchen setup I keep thinking about things I want to cook and eat one my fridge arrives. this is on the list

peppercorn (plural peppercorns) The seeds of the plant Piper nigrum. Commonly used as a spice, usually but not always ground or crushed.

Good try but no, the “corning” comes from the large salt kernals or “corns” used in the curing process

the reason corned beef is unhealthy isn't necessarily the fat (it's not really any worse than other kinds of beef in that regard), it's the chemicals used to cure meat. too much cured meat increases your risk of cancer
