YANBU corned beef is THE DOGS.

There is a restaurant near where I live, and they make their own corned beef for their corned beef hash, and fuck me, it's delicious.

don't look too closely though cuz you'll see the chopped up bits of blood vessels that feed the bones in there.

Mmm...corned beef with lettuce, tomato, beetroot and mayo sarnies!

YANBU

I make cowboy pie for my family.
Cube and fry corned beef, add some beans and warm up, top with mash and grill until brown.
It's the ultimate comfort food.

My friends. At last I have found you. What's wrong with the rest of the world?Corned beef is lovely. Corned beef hash with Daddy's brown sauce. And peas.

Ullena · 08/09/2012 18:48

My dad makes corn beef with mashed potatoes, garden peas and baby carrots...

I used to like corned beef and beetroot sandwiches --until I found out what parts of the body were used for the 'meat'. I don't eat corned beef any more, nor sausages, nor burgers. None of them comes from the steaky sort of meat or shin or ankle or offal ....

GWenlockMaryLacey · 08/09/2012 18:53

Love corned beef in a crusty roll. Haters bugger off.

sagelynodding · 08/09/2012 19:00

Mmmm, love corned beef and cress/cucumber sandwiches on white bread with marge!

Never seen it here in France though :(

(But was v excited to see spam in the 'forrin' foods section of the hypermarche!)

I do like Corned Beef so no you are not remotely unreasonable.

In response to earlier posts about children having it, I fed it to both my sons from the age of about a year or so because there was a recipe for Corned Beef Hash in a NCT weaning/toddler recipe book I had and this was 2005 not 1965 Grin

Fried onions in butter, diced boiled potatoes, tin of baked beans, diced corned beef and possibly a tin of tomatoes over the whole lot. Bubbled into a pulp and bliss with some grated cheese and a soft roll to mop it up with, its something we occasionally still have, it's terrifically tasty although clearly not a slimming sort of meal.

Love corned beef, but it had to be from the fridge. Don't like it hot, so no cb hash. BUT the combo of crispy potato & onion with cold corned beef is yummy. DH is snobby about (disclaimer: he is forrin) it so it's the kind of thing I have when home alone. Mmm.

Used to be able to buy it at the regular supermarket when we lived in Belgium. Haven't found it now we're in Sweden though Sad

trixymalixy · 08/09/2012 19:23

I love corned beef.

Cold with chutney in a sandwich, corned beef hash, cooked with onions, Worcester sauce and tinned tomatoes with mashed potato on top, cooked as before but in a shortcrust pastry pie.

Yum.

FreudianSlipper · 08/09/2012 19:27

love corned beed hash like my nanny used to make

tried to make it myself it was not very nice but shall try that recipe

not keen on corned beef sandwiches have not had cb fritters i like spam fritters though

nkf · 08/09/2012 19:28

One of the worst cuts I ever had was from that key system. I think the stuff used to be known as "bully beef."

SisyphusDad · 08/09/2012 19:33

No! No! No!

lovebunny · 08/09/2012 19:38

i haven't eaten beef since 1988. i miss holland's steak pies. i could go a corned beef and tomato salad, too.

ItalianForSnow · 08/09/2012 19:43

Oh I love you pickles77. You made me smile. Enjoy your hash, with your mum and dad.

wisdomoflollygag · 08/09/2012 20:07

Before you all eat too much corned beef check out Sodium Nitrite on the internet.

cocolepew · 08/09/2012 20:15

Corned beef sandwiches on white bread or with new potatoes and butter Smile

TinyDancingHoofer · 08/09/2012 20:17
