HI,
This evening I had dinner at Chief O'Neill's. I went with a classic: Corned beef with cabbage, carrots and potatoes. As much as I like corned beef, I really like the vegetables cooked in the flavorful water with cabbage a favorite.
All the vegetables in my meal today were under-cooked. I am not interested in mushy, I expect tender. The ribs in my cabbage were not easy to cut into. The carrot still had some crunch and the potato still a bit stiff.
The corned beef was from the brisket and a bit dry. It was sliced where it could be made into a sandwich or arranged on a plate. It was also just a tad under-cooked.
I fully remember my Irish Grandfather thought I under-cooked vegetables, because he expected mush. What I had today, he would have believed were not even cooked.
I didn't ask my friends about their meal. I don't know if what they had was better.
Regards,
Cathy2
