I think I was about 15 the first time I had anything close to real
corned beef. That was about the time Shopsy started marketing it
presliced in pouches that could be dropped into boiling water to heat
them up. Up until then the only corned beef I ever had came in a can.
We ate it in sandwiches with mustard. I sort of liked it. I have not
had it in decades, but I can see myself using a can to make some hash. I
don't see myself putting ketchup on it.
