that should be normal with any cooked meat. That's the natural juices
of the meat.

I can't say that I love it, but when I was a kid there was the boiled
corned beef that we had on St.Patrick's Day and there was the stuff that
he had in sandwiches, the latter coming from a can. I didn't mind it in
my school lunches. In the mid 60s I discovered the Shopsy's frozen
pouches that you tossed into boiling water to heat up for sandwiches. It
was hard to go back to the canned stuff. I haven't had canned
cornedbeef in more than 40 years and I am not likely to ever buy it for
myself. If there is an apocalypse and it is all the other looters left
behind I will eat it.

The only time I ever had Vienna sausage was on combat rations, and most
of us took a pass on eating them.

Yes, I can see that the gristle would be off-putting to say the least. I
have never run into that, thankfully. I especially like the corned beef on
the bun I make with two whole eggs only since I don't eat bread as a rule
these days, but in the old days, loved it on soft white bread with mayo.

That is a sign that there is real meat in it. When the gelatin is from
bonier bits it ends up in Jello.

I can remember asking for deviled ham. Somehow as a kid, it just sounded
evil. My mom said I wouldn't like it. She was right.

I did like creamed chipped beef as a child. But when I tried making it as an
adult, I did not. The end result was very salty. My mom said they changed
the way they did the beef. Dunno. Or maybe the beef we can get here in WA is
different than what we got in KS. I don't recall ever eating it after we
moved here.

At first glance you could conclude you just left a prk belly on the
floor for storage. I've put a bag of potatoes on the floor and I carry
in a heavy tote with groceries and may put it on the floor to unload.

I don't think I did. I followed some old recipe and I don't think it said to
rinse it.

To get corned beef out of the can punch a hole in the other end of the can.
