[Closed] Corned beef?

I'm not 100% sure if I've ever eaten it. Is there a war on?

Needs Beetroot.

AFAIK, despite the label it all comes from a massive Beef processing plant in Argentina, so Sainsbury's own-brand does us.

It's lovely stuff, if you can accept it's low-grade beef and salt.

My Hash recipe is equal parts Spud and Sweet potato with a carrot boiled with a veg stock cube, mashed with some pepper and add the Corned beef. Mrs Jay prefers it sprinkled with cheese and baked, but it's too greasy for me that way.

Corned beef hash with 3 rashers of bacon on it topped with a poached egg.
Sunday breakfast delight!

In a toastie with mature cheddar & onion ..oh yeah ..

There's always a war on somewhere.

Tuck in and think of Ricky and Ossie.

Surely the only foodstuff left than can't be classed as inspirational and aspirational?

Its only a matter of time - with the increased interest in 'Nose to Tail eating' * imagine how excited people will be when they find out they can get both in the one tin.

* not like in the Human Centipede

Corned beef, tomato ketchup and white bread. No need for butter or any fancy add ons. Bloody lovely.

Also makes your burps taste of egg.

Nowt wrong with the fat.
I like it on sarnies with tomato.

Then of course there is the great North East delicacy of corned beef pie. Mmm.

Also dead nice as chunks in savoury rice packets.

Fwoooaaarrrr

All you white bread fans, are you boycotting Warbies ATM?

I know nothing tastes quite so deliciously artificial, but donors to the Tories and all that....

I'm down to two slices of Toastie at work every morning, thickly spread with Lurpak, just can't seem to kick the habit.

For butties, as PP has helpfully pointed out, beetroot is where its at

For Corned beef hash it has to be [url= https://www.deliaonline.com/recipes/international/american-mexican-and-caribbean/corned-beef-hash-with-fried-eggs ]Delias recipe[/url]. Its all about the mustard and worcestor sauce, topped with fried eggs, obvs

Would you argue with this woman...

😀

Edit: I've abandoned Warbies. Its been a wrench, but principles 'n all that

Not deliberately because of that. But I've decided it's not worth double what Tesco charge for their own white Toastie bread.

55p vs £1.05, happy that it takes a bit of cash of that shower too.

Hmm

I had corned beef for the first time in years only last week (on a toastie with ketchup). Lovely it was.

Seems awfy coincidental that this thread should pop up.

Warbies? What is this nonsense you speak of?

White bread fans have never lived until they've peeled back the wax paper on a fresh one of these bad boys.......

Mmmmmmmm....................Oootsider.

Seriously never lived until you tackled the giant heel of a Mothers Pride plain loaf - or the bitter disappointment of the other end of the scale, the paper thin heelie.

You haven't posted a picture of your Van Nic in ages Col.

And stalking is such an ugly word.

mmmmm - heavy bread!

Its been an eternal frustration for me this year - working a lot up in Morayshire but starting so early and finishing every day so late (and always in a hurry) that I've not once managed to grab a loaf of McLeays scottish plain. Just to rub it it I've lost count of how many times I've driven past the bakery at 4 in the morning or 11 at night.

I don't know what they put in it, but its absolutely sublime toasted.

toastie with strong cheese and raw onion.

unacceptable on a sandwich if warm, or if the fine layer of congealed fat hasn't been removed from the outside.

No no no - it needs to be warm so all the fat softens and jellifies like the inside of a warm pork pie. Nommmmm

Fry it up with some onion, chuck in some black pepper, a tin of chopped tomatoes and some encona West Indian hot sauce. Serve it with rice, sweetcorn and pitta bread...

Now thinking corned beef hash for dinner, regular common or garden supermarket stuff mind.

mmmmm - heavy bread!

Fried (in butter) so it's just starting to go crispy on one side but soft on the other, with scrambled eggs, a slice of toast and if you're feeling posh, some avocado, mmmmmm

[img] [/img]

Forget ketchup!
Brown sauce is where it's at...

Corned Beef, Potato & Onion Pie is just a North East delicacy..I hadn't realised that ..
Corned Beef & Pease Pudding sandwiches is the one that has folks outside the region scratching their heads in puzzlement

[b]Avocado?!!![/b]

Huge fan of the stuff in any format.

especially M&S corned beef crisp bakes!!...

My dad recently re-married and his new bride has a massive bee in her bonnet about it, she is repulsed that we all enjoy it so much!!

Just had a corned beef, cheese, red onion and tabasco toastie for lunch - delicious.

I don't know what they put in it, but its absolutely sublime toasted.

..and that there is the most frustrating paradox of the toast world.

The best toast making bread in the world doesn't actually fit in the toaster.

I don't think there's an artisan equivalent,

you need to get to a proper Deli.

^^

Now, that's that Corned Beef that looks like Beef stuff, no we have the canned redish brown mush with fat here.

Avocado?!!!

Quite.

Don't worry, all the avocado groves in Southern California are currently being consumed by fire.

People will have to resort to eating soap.
I doubt anyone will notice the difference.

Aren't Katz supposed to taste more like chicken ..?
Pastrami ...not even close

I've had some "posh" corned beef in a sandwich recently but was very disappointed as what I ACTUALLY the stuff you get in a can with a bit of english mustard. I went out and bought a can and forgot about it. Perhaps tonight is the night!

Has to be the brown (beef) colour version for me, none of that pink stuff that masquerades as corned beef thankyou were much.

MMMmmmm dirty meat. I luuuurve it all. I’ve literally just got back from the market after buying proper potted beef and haslet.
It all hoof and eyelid and all the better for it

Corned beef, salami, sausage, pork pie, scotch eggs, any form of preserved meat, haslet, chopped ham and pork, pork luncheon meat, it’s all sweepings off the processing plant floor mixed with heart attack inducing preservatives, salt and fat, and all the better for it.
Guilty pleasure? Ohhh yeah!

I did myself a handful of corned beef cobs last night, then cubed and finished off the rest of the tin. Agree that it's got to be cold, best with white bread and butter (needs no other flavouring, IMO), but more than happy to nibble it on its own.

I am afraid that, unless you have grown up in one of the cities of North America with a substantial Jewish population, then none of you know what corned beef really is.

Donc, le vrai Montréalais....

I think you'll find you're wrong...

Salt beef sandwich. Mmmmm. Was a excellent cheap few places at the north end of brick lane.

+1 on the hasslet. Lovely stuff. I think the op has given a good overview of corn beef based dishes.

Surely the only foodstuff left than can't be classed as inspirational and aspirational?

then none of you know what corned beef really is.

That's not [i]corned[/i] beef though is it? It's salt beef. Admittedly in most of the countries in the world (where they get nomenclature wrong) it's the same thing but in the UK corned beef is bully (bouilli) beef.

Salt beef is to corned beef what gammon is to sausage.

this thread is one of those times when you get to gaze in slack jawed wonderment at the inner workings of your fellow STWer's minds, and then recoil, and shudder slightly at the horrors revealed therein.

The hairy bikers corned beef recipe is amazing. Dead easy too, mainly involves leaving it in the fridge for a week or two. Roll on multiple corned beef hashave dinners and amazing sandwiches: toasted light rye bread, warm corned beef, melted emmental, sauerkraut and Russian dressing. Nom!

A quid a slice but [url= https://www.mccartneysofmoira.com/delicatessen/corned-beef/ ]McCartney's [/url]corned beef is lovely, too good for a sandwich with brown sauce

As i was reading this thread and saw the plain loaf i did love a thick heel then the next slice was really good too but the stuff now is rubbish too thinly sliced
The factory in Kirkcaldy Mothers Pride im sure it was no longer there the smell was to die for although when mixed with the linoleum works aroma on certain days was not so good as Billy Connolly once described accurately as he got off the train

I genuinely envy you.

North Manchester has a huge Jewish and Asian population.

Weekend mornings as a kid in the 70's would consist of trips to buy bread and pastries in Prestwich from the Jewish bakeries, then a tour of the Asian shops on Cheetham Hill road to buy spices and lamb for our Sunday Lunch.

I live in Burnley now.
It's horribly segregated.

I miss Manchester.

I remember the national refusal to eat corned beef in the UK during the Falklands war. Everyone thought the Argies were going to put poison in the tins and bring down the entire country.

I`m surprised anyone still eats it here after that.

I don't remember that.

I do remember, even as a United fan, everyone supporting Villa and Ardilles.

Ah, Pushed Pork as it's known in Hipster Circles.

I don't remember that.

Supermarkets refused to stock it and it didn't return for quite a few years after the war I believe.

Oh, and you may or may not want to know that during that ban on Argie corned beef, it was Brazil that supplied upto 80% of our corned beef.

Brazillian corned beef was banned in Jamaica because they were using rotten meat to produce it!

Enjoy your next corned beef sandwich 😉

I genuinely don't get the nay-sayers. Have they actually tried the stuff? Lovely salty savoury flavour and a good texture. I like it at room temp as well as 'fridge-cold'.
Lashings of brown sauce for me, or piccalilli if feeling posh.

I used to make a student spag-bol using big square chunks of the stuff gently stirred into a herby tomato base sauce, keep heating till the chunks begin to brake down and tuck in.
Divine. As are the gaseous emissions post-gluttony.

Hot, buttered toast
Slice of corned beef
Couple of spoonfuls of baked beans
Brown sauce

Perfection.

It looks like it trying to bite me!

“With chips or with salad it’s corned beef,
Even Buckingham palace eats corned beef,
Why don’t you try corned beef hash”

We never had corned beef hash as kids, we used to have corned beef *mash* which was basically corned beef mashed up in potato. Usually served with baked beans.

I think it was a way to make a tin stretch for a family of six.

We were reet poor, lick road clean w'tongue etc. etc.

A quick Google suggests it was the same stuff with a different label.
🙂

Thanks to this thread, I’ve had corned beef hash and a jacket spud for dinner. Top nosh!

Can't believe no one has mentioned the Greggs classic corned beef pastie yet,

Wow.

That's tomorrow's post work tea sorted Ads.
Brown sauce and an egg, obviously.

Nice one.

I don't think I've ever eaten meat from a tin... Just can't face the smell, same thing with tuna.

Mum used to make corned beef fritters. Bloody lovely.

Corned beef and tomato sauce sammich.

I approve.
