When did South American countries....i.e., Brazil and Argentina......begin to make canned corned beef?

Answer 1

Corned beef is beef that is first pickled in brine and then cooked by simmering. Usually, cuts of meat are used that feature long muscle grain, such as the brisket.

The name "corned beef" is due to a coarse salt used in the pickling process. Corn originally meant grain, as in a small particle of something (in German "Korn" still has that meaning), and referred to the corns of salt.

In the United Kingdom corned beef is commonly found in the canned form, and has next to nothing to do with the cured and boiled version. When served "loose" at a counter is sliced from canned meat, and can also be bought in smaller cans for consumption at home. It is usually regarded as a "cheap" foodstuff. Most of it is sourced from Brazil and Argentina. In the British Army and Royal Navy it has been a staple component of rations since before World War I, and is known as bully beef. It is common in the United States in this form, as well.

Answer 2

I don't know the exact year they started manufacturing it, but for sure in Argentina in the early 1900's they were making canned corned beef. In fact it was exported to Europe during the first and the second world war, because it was used to feed the soldiers. During the second world war the production was for the most part sent to Great Britain.

Answer 3

It was about 1982.
