The term "corned" basically means preserved or cured with salt. <br /><br />Corned beef is one of my favorites also and we too had a shortage of it here in Carolina.<br /><br />Most if not all corned beef comes from Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia and other countries "South of the Border" I was trying to figure out what had happened down yonder that might have caused the shortage but couldn't come up with anything. Of course, when it re-appeared on the store shelves, the price had gone up considerably.Michael W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09400333370979393240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3274583756441452923.post-29499978353098151102011-07-25T09:48:25.142-04:002011-07-25T09:48:25.142-04:00We had a shortage here in NY as well.

I keep about 20-30 cans of it on hand but noticed BJs stopped carrying the 4 pack of Hormel cans.<br /><br />I believe the "corned" bit refers to salt that used to chunk up inside the meat-chunks about the size of a kernel of corn.LC Scottyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09372776060364698141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3274583756441452923.post-11843623649706536602011-07-25T09:46:04.313-04:002011-07-25T09:46:04.313-04:00Oh, THAT's the stuff you were wondering about!...Oh, THAT's the stuff you were wondering about! Well, let's just look at the 2 main ingredients, Corn and Beef. Corn went into Automobiles, Beef went into the Stratosphere because Corn was too expensive to go into the Cattle's mouths. So applying the Law of Supply and Demand (something every Hippie/ Liberal/Socialist/Communist Politician thinks doesn't apply to them because the "Communist Manifesto" can eliminate it), your little Market Niche was probably closed by the Bean Counters at Libby's because it wasn't cost effective to produce. <br /><br />See, Economics isn't THAT HARD. It just doesn't seem to work inside the Beltway. Must be some kind of weird Force Field in place....Bubblehead Les.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00730873284089958084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3274583756441452923.post-71475853222184669742011-07-25T07:08:56.309-04:002011-07-25T07:08:56.309-04:00I need a few cases of that.
