Jamaican Bully Beef

Jamaican Bully Beef what is that?..lol Is it some authentic island dish. Actually Bully beef is simply "corn beef" in jamaica. (above picture is a bully beef sandwich and some mango juice). It is usually beef that cured or pickled in brine. Common name used in both the UK and in Canada.

Some people in Jamaica call it the "Poor man's" meal. However, I use to heat it up and eat it with rice.
