Corned beef is great when done well too. I followed a long and authentic recipe for Vietnamese Pho a while ago involving a complex stock full of meat and spices. One of the cuts used was shin which was cooked in the stock for about 24 hours. You were supposed to shred it and add to the final dish (which took about another 12 hours or so) but I tasted a slice of it first. It tasted amazing, the spices were noticable throughout the whole thing. There was none in the final dish.... I love salt beef, and that dish looks amazing, will have to try something similar!

We're much more savvy with fruit and veg... even flour these days but because I think we eat less meat and supermarkets don't go into much detail, we forget the basics. I'm ok with the ox tail I bought recently though because it's from an ox and it's a tail... beyond that I sometimes have to refer to on old cook book. I'm still playing with sourdough recipes, with mixed results I must say but ordinary bread recipes can have a ladle-full of ferment included so I've found out. Cid Miles,
