These items you will need before the 7th of March. It takes 10 days to make a good corned beef.
4-6 lb Brisket (trim excess fat, though leave a bit on)
Kosher salt
black peppercorns (cracked or a way to crack them)
allspice
thyme
paprika
Bay leaves
The rest needs to be on hand the day before
wholemeal flour
unbleached white flour
baking soda
buttermilk
eggs
whole milk
bread crumbs
ground almonds
sugar
cumin
saffron
a soft cheese of your choice (shredded)
oatmeal
honey
a stout ( like Guiness)
Cinnamon or nutmeg
cabbage or brussel sprouts will work
new potatoes
your choice of carrots, rutabagas, white turnips, small onions or parsnips (you can have more than one)
See you Monday to tell you what to do with that Brisket

I'm thinking the ingredient list is almost as long as the title!
yes it is. We will be making several different traditional food stuff.
Cool! My own personal blog title - I'm officially a rockstar :D
I've made corned beef all my life, and *always* been interested in making the "corned" part instead of just cooking it. My son is half Irish so this always a fun Holiday dinner to make for him. Even though he lives at his own place with his very nice girlfriend, I still plan on making the ol' corned beef dinner :) This time I get to make it for real!
Thank you :) :)
Sounds like there is a little soda bread in your future [or beer?] - this is my ALL time favorite meal - they are serving it at my funeral [we've made arrangements ;D] I LOVE CB&C with pumpernickel bread.
Can't wait. Can't make it from scratch this year, but SUPER appreciate the recipe [when you post it] because you can't buy CB all year long [the butcher says it is "seasonal" - bite me Mr. Butcher, it is brisket. Dang.]
So, now when my birthday rolls around in the fall Pooldad will know what to do :)
Hugs and enjoy.
