It’s March and we all know what that means, St. Patrick’s Day. All the grocery stores are running deals on brisket, cabbage, potatoes, and carrots.
I was able to score corned beef brisket for $3.49/lb, 8lbs of potatoes for $1.49, cabbage for $.79/lb, and carrots for $.99/lb.
$3.03 per person.
Corning is a preservation process that involves curing meat with salt corns (big grains) in a brine. This helps extend the shelf life of the brisket and imbues a salt flavor to the meat.
Hopefully that clears up some confusion.
