…is this a thing?

Having a bit of discussion with a girl at work regarding my choice of today’s sandwiches. White Bread with Corned Beef and sliced pickled beetroot. Delicious.

She was horrified and had never heard of such an abomination.

I, on the other hand, have lived my entire life believing that the natural accompaniment to a corned beef sandwich is pickled beetroot.

Who is right? Is it a thing or am I weird?

Admit you’re wrong because corned beef and brown sauce is THE way to have corned beef sarnies. Or with a load of salad and salad cream.

You are right perchypanther.. good combo, maybe with a splash of salad cream (or mayo if you’re posh) but white bread will give you rickets, possibly even AIDS

The only ‘condiment’ for corned beef is Branston Pickle.

EDIT: Thick slices of corned beef, chips and branston pickle is a fine meal of unrivalled simplicity. Throw a bit of iceberg on side if you have company.

Cheese required in between the corned dug and Beetroot, so that the sweet, pink goodness bleeds into the salty, extra matured cheddar.

Droooollll….

white bread will give you rickets, possibly even AIDS

…and that’s why you need the beetroot. Superfood innit!

Add orseraddish and Mustard to the Original recipe and you’re laughing all the way to the bank.

Then you get a bit of something vaguely animal but not meat stuck in your teeth and wish you’d gone roast beef.

Throw a bit of iceberg on side if you have company.

And you want to appear cool?

I’ve just had corned been and brown sauce butties, but corned beef and beetroot is most definitely a top notch butty! As is cornedd beef and pickled onions.

If you want to dry the wrongest, yet rightest butty in the world, you’ll need crap white bread, beetroot and this…..

😀

Wrong wrong wrong.

Corned beef and mustard pickle. Cheese and beetroot.

Any fule know dat.

I have corned beef and salad cream sandwiches.

Then you are wrong.

The only problem with beetroot for lunch is the panic following the next morning’s poo when you look in the bowl and think you’ve got internal bleeding.

Oh dear lord. What have I done?

It’s the pies all over again….. 😉

Corned beef and brown sauce not bloody beetroot! Dear lord what next

This thread allows me to add more names to my list.

Prepare to be sentenced with those who are confused by stew with a puff pastry hat.

You’re all wrong (although I admit that perchypanther’s combo sounds pretty good).

I have, however, lived in two of the three cities on planet earth that happen to specialise in corned beef sandwiches (Winnipeg; Montreal; New York) due to their large Jewish populations and the importance of the deli. And a proper sandwich should look like this:

a proper sandwich should look like this

It’s not a sandwich if you need a knife and fork to eat it.

A good vet could have that back on it’s feet in a fortnight ^^^

Spot on PP… You really can’t beet corned beef with beetroot.

Harry you missed the cream… Cheese and beetroot.

Corned Beef I only use in hash

Always loved a Corned Beef and Beetroot sandwich and so did my dad so wondered if it was a Midlands thing?

The only thing for corned beef is potatoes, either hash or chips or alternatively eaten straight from the tin.

Bizarrely I nearly started a post an hour ago about the awesomeness that is a chicken and sliced beetroot sandwich. We are all being assimilated into the stwborg

runs off to order a gaggiasomething

It’s a perfectly happy marriage.

Cheese and beetroot (both must be half inch thick, minimum)

Corned beef and pickle

The only thing for corned beef is

I used to have a student dish of corned beef curry with pickle added during the cooking

However, you are all wrong allegedly – acceptable accompaniments are mustard and pickle

No no no no no, you’re all doing it wrong.
It’s corned beef, mixed with sliced onion and tomato sauce, slathered on white bread then whacked into the breville (other sandwhich toasters are available) for a delish toasty.

Though to be fair anything with Beetroot in it is a winner for me too

Corned beef needs nothing more than white bread, butter and to be cold.

* reads entire thread

now needs beetroot.

ham, lettuce, cucumber and beetroot is my filling of choice for my pieces! 🙂

I’ve never heard of this but fully intend on doing it next time I have corned beef. Sounds amaaaaazing.

Incidentally, beetroot at christmas? Ayrshire yes, Glasgow no.

Corned Beef and sliced pickled beetroot. Delicious.

fixed.

lush.

You’re all wrong. Cheddar cheese and beetroot. None of this corned beef muck.

This thread should be banned for being so gross

Beetroot butties don’t need to be adulterated with corned dog!

I bet you all put sauce on a bacon sandwich too, you heathens.

Corned beef pie (again, proper pie as in surrounded by short pastry, not corned beef with a pastry hat). Served cold with a big dollop of Heinz tomato sauce. Heaven on a plate. Next time you visit BPW, drop into Pontypridd and visit the institution that is Princes cafe. Best corned beef pie ever.

Pretty sure I saw some beetroot pickle in either Asda or Sainsburys recently, Deffo must try some…
As an aside I tend to have a few slices of beetroot on a salad along with either some hot spring rolls or bhajis, ’tis ace I tell thee!

There is some outrageous nonsense on here. Defiling a corned beef and beetroot sandwich with lettuce. I despair. What it is missing is a liberal scattering of crushed ready salted crisps and maybe some cheese spread to prevent said crisps escaping.
