Whether you call it corned beef or bully beef, this Jamaican style dish a go to meal.
Bully beef is either hated or loved by Jamaicans. It was so popular in the late 1980's, and especially after the Hurricane Gilbert.
This hurricane destroyed Jamaica to the point where canned foods were the best options for a family to get a full meal. There was no electricity which made it difficult to store fresh meat or eat it fast enough to prevent spoilage.

Canned corned beef is also known as deli style corned beef here in the United States. This canned meat is usually made from real beef, but the cuts of meat are not well known.
This is pretty similar to hot dogs. Many American enjoy the taste of a good hot dog for lunch or some corned beef hash for breakfast but not many of them know where these meats are coming from.
What is Bully Beef Made from?
Just like hot dogs, corned beef is made from parts of beef that people would not purchase willingly.
Some of these cuts of meats are not limited, as long as they do not pass the selling grade.
