(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
The name corned beef is due to a coarse salt being used in the pickling. Corn originally meant grain, as in a small particle of something, and referred to the corns of salt. A similar, but more highly-spiced meat, is pastrami.
Corned beef is often regarded as a "deli" meat; that is, often purchased at delicatessens. A special sandwich type that is still fairly popular is the Reuben, made with corned beef, cheese, sauerkraut, and thousand-island dressing.
(Note that the Reuben entry calls for Russian Dressing, however both are delicious.)
