Need Help! Corn beef question

[Surigao Ken]

Hey all!!

Got a question. We have another bun in the oven and the Misses is craving a particular brand of corn beef from the Ph.
It is called Argentina corn beef. Does anyone know when to find it on the internet. No luck finding it here in Alabama, they don't carry it in any ammo or beer stores that I frequent.

Any help is appreciated, she won't go the pickled eggs I suggested.

Take care,
Surigao Ken

Almost all the canned corned beef sold in US stores is from either Argentina or Brazil....look at the label of some of the 'American' national brands like Hormel or Swift. Pick up one of those and she won't know the difference. Of course I don't advocate trying to hide it from her or tricking her, just say "Honey, this is as close as I could find, give it a try".

Oh, let me edit the message to include my congradulations and best wishes on the addition to your family.

Argentina corned beef is just a brand name, probably made here in the Phils from carabao.  Many brand names here are deceiving, the Fresh Milk brand here is neither fresh nor is it real milk, it is just watered down milk with sugar.
Most products made in the Phils have a lot of added sugar and salt.
She is probably craving the corned beef made  only  here in the Phils.

Honey says she can get it here in Houston at a Filipino Market here called Formart.  Other than that no help.

Thanks Bear, Honey and little Bear,

We're not worrying about corn beef anymore. Something about tuna and saging hilaw.

Take care!!!
