The term "corned" is an old one referring to the curing of beef with grains of salt, once called corns of salt. Corned beef is the English equivalent of the French pot-au-feu. The English meat has been salted, so one has to be very careful about using the broth as it may be too salty. But the broth or bouillon in the French pot-au-feu is part of its glory and is sometimes served separately as a first course.
