corned beef
Cured deli meat
Corned beef is beef cured in a brine of salt and spices—the "corns" being coarse grains of salt used in the process.
It's typically made from brisket and served sliced, often with cabbage as a traditional Irish-American dish, or in a Reuben sandwich.
Canned corned beef is a separate product with a distinctive shredded texture: corned beef hash.
