The term CORNED BEEF doesnt refer to the beef being rubbed by a piece of corn. Corned or corn refers to a small round piece of grain or in this case salt. So corned beef received its name from the process of curing beef with tiny pellets of salt. Corn is still used by skiers to mean snow that is in the form of course particles. Corn is commonly found on the slopes in spring, the result of melting and refreezing.
