I make pasta salads - usually with pasta, red pepper, onion, cucumber and tomato, mixed with crême fraiche, mayonnaise etc, but never knew there was such a thing as this. I can see the benefits to keeping it fish-free, although I wouldn't mind trying both varieties first before passing judgement!

When you buy a corned beef, it is the leaner brisket flat muscle and it is separated by a thick fat layer from the smaller, fatter point or deckle muscle. Next time you go to Walmart have a look - they usually have the flat and the whole brisket.
