I had reason to research it over 30 years back and the only historical reference in existence referring to Spiced Beef came from the Midlands.

    Now there are dozens particularly in Cork claiming century old traditions of making it. Doesn’t matter in the scheme of things, just interesting to watch something like this happen and see how greedy people can be to claim something as their own.

    Like I said previously - you are 100% wrong on this. I’m late 50’s and have been eating this since childhood as did my parents and grandparents before me. I’ll just leave this with you:

    Wow! You personally introduced it to Cork people? :rolleyes:

    My grandparents are from Cork, they've been eating spiced beef for a lot longer than 30 years.

    My family are all from Kilkenny and none of them ever heard of having spiced beef! It's funny how everyone is different. :D

    Just asked my cousin from Ballyhale, his text back, word for word... 'wouldn't touch that cork shi+e'

    Take from that what you will.

    I take from that the recognition of it being from Cork - which is true :D

    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 ..

    Spiced beef is a form of salt beef, cured with spices and braised or boiled. It is a traditional festive dish in many countries. In England and Wales it has been known for more than 300 years, but is known to have originated from Co. Cork, Ireland. It remains a traditional Christmas or New Year dish in Ireland, but in particular Cork
