Spiced Beef?

Its not exclusively from Cork , it's a hangover from the provisioning trade a couple of hundred years , ( sticking food into barrels to take across the atlantic )
It needed to be salted to preserve it and spiced to cover up the bad flavours when it started to go off ..
It was common in lots of port cities , it just became a christmas thing in parts of cork city ..
