Doesn't "have" to be anything. Can be what you like.

**** all wrong with corned beef either, always had it in the valleys and brings back memories of my nan sat in her armchair chopping spuds and veg, and everyone sneaking back in for more after their first bowl and complaining when the huge pan had finally gone... Roadkill.. You offend me. Snob.
