The appearance of corned beef in Irish cuisine dates to the 12th century in the poem ''Aislinge Meic Con Glinne'' or ''The Vision of MacConglinne''.<ref>{{cite web| title = Aislinge Meic Con Glinne | publisher = The University College Cork Ireland | url = http://www.ucc.ie/celt/online/T308002/text001.html}}</ref> Within the text, it is described as a delicacy a king uses to purge himself of the "demon of [[gluttony]]". Cattle, valued as a [[barter]]ing tool, were only eaten when no longer able to provide milk or to work. The corned beef as described in this text was a rare and valued dish, given the value and position of cattle within the culture, as well as the expense of salt, and was unrelated to the corned beef eaten today.<ref name="europeancuisines1">{{cite web| title = Ireland: Why We Have No Corned Beef & Cabbage Recipes | publisher = European Cuisines | url = http://www.europeancuisines.com/Why-We-Have-No-Corned-Beef-Recipes}}</ref>
