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 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.
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.
🙂

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.
