When do Jewish people eat corned beef?

While corned beef is a popular food among Jewish people, it's not tied to any specific religious holiday or observance.

Here's why it's associated with Jewish culture:

* Immigrant history: Corned beef became a staple in the Jewish community in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, primarily due to Eastern European Jewish immigrants.

* Affordable protein: Corned beef was an inexpensive and readily available source of protein for the immigrant community.

* Deli culture: Jewish delis, which were popular gathering places, often featured corned beef sandwiches as a signature item.

Therefore, Jewish people eat corned beef at any time, just like anyone else. It's often enjoyed as a sandwich, a main course, or as part of a larger meal.

It's worth noting that pastrami, a closely related cured meat, is more commonly associated with Jewish culture. However, the distinction between corned beef and pastrami can be confusing.
