Ooh. Poor form, Tesco.

Perhaps poor form suppliers.

Either way, poor form.

@grapehyacinthisactuallyblue bet you're fun at a party.

OP YANBU for it is clearly a travesty that they have lost the keys, however YABU for openly bringing up the subject of corned beef when I have none in the house, and after being reminded of its existence I am subsequently wanting a corned beef and pickle sandwich.

I do hope you've logged it with 101.

Toast? Hmm white bread and butter only.
When I was young my mum used to give us new baby potatoes, corned beef and butter. It was bloody lovely.

@pictish years and years and years ago I overheard a conversation. To set the scene, it was Christmas Eve and my co-worker had just done a shop for Christmas dinner for 14 plus all the snacks and nibbles and providing for teenage lads. Apparently her other half was phoning from the hospital where he had needed stitches. Her half of the conversation went something like this:

How did you do that?

But you don't even like corned beef.

What do you mean there's nothing in?

I love corned beef and I wish the men in my life did as well. I hardly see it.

lisaandalan · 02/03/2022 21:46

Maybe a dodgy batch. X

Corned beef and potato pie is lovely (especially if you put a layer of baked beans in, and cheese on top of the mash).
That’s dinner for tomorrow sorted,thanks!

girlmom21 · 02/03/2022 21:55

On toast? Do you slice it or mash it? Butter? Please explain.

BluebellsGreenbells · 02/03/2022 21:58

Bloody heathens!

You crumble the corn beef into the raw egg and scramble it all together - then put it on toast. FFS

You’re welcome.

Be careful with those blardy keys, my auntie once opened her arm up from wrist to inside elbow after an encounter with one went wrong! 🤢

reesewithoutaspoon · 02/03/2022 22:02

people have been robbing them for the trolley coin hack. You can use them to unlock shopping trolleys without having to put a pound in

@grapehyacinthisactuallyblue

Think you are lucky to be angry and posting on the matter that can easily be solved by using tin opener that you must have. On the other hand, I can feel your anger if you are in the warzone, hiding in the basement. Otherwise BU.
How do you cope in life? You must be perpetually offended by people having problems big and small outside a warzone.
TroysMammy · 02/03/2022 22:05

After waiting 6 hours in A&E with a badly gashed thumb from a corned beef tin and wishing I had decided to have sausages for my tea, when I was eventually seen and steri-strips applied, I now keep them in my first aid kit.

Did you know Fray Bentos is a city in Uruguay where most corned beef used to come from?

PriamFarrl · 02/03/2022 22:07

I haven’t eaten corned beef in about 30 years, and I’m vegi now. Corned beef hash is one of those things I miss.

Also, at my college the canteen used to do corned beef and pickle sandwiches.

VikingNorthUtsire · 02/03/2022 22:07

Ah my mate's mum used to make the best lobbies (like Scouse) with corned beef

ChickenStripper · 02/03/2022 22:14

I love corned beef either as Scottish stories or mixed with mayo 😂 on toast

Are you stockpiling for when we head down to the Anderson shelters? Grin

This is what happens when store has a ridiculously high pickrate, items just get thrown in.
In USA they already have automated picking, a robot can pick 11 times quicker than a human, roll on when that comes into practice here, its a thankless job.

For the love of God, it's a lighthearted thread about corned beef/Tesco. Get a grip of yourself, some light relief is a good thing.

When I was a kid I used to love corned beef & mash pies. It's great cold for a picnic!!

I remember opening the tins with a fork, rolling the strip up! 🤪

I'm curious about the 'on toast' bit, is there some Oreo or do you literally just put cold slices on a bit of toast?

I've been vegetarian for over 30 years & could not eat it now, but if I started eating meat again, a corned beef & mash pie would be right on top of the list.

gillybean2 · 02/03/2022 22:41

@PriamFarrl try using granose nutolene for a vegi/vegan hash (it’s now called nut luncheon I think- comes in a tin). Doesn’t have a key though, you have to top and tail the tin and push it through. Chop it into chunks and add to your hash.

Vegetarian here, the raw eggs turns my stomach more than the meat

@BluebellsGreenbells. I've just realised you meant to cook them kind of like scrambled egg. I don't eat egg, raw or cooked. So still 🤢but slightly less so.

Messed up with a knob of butter & HP SAUCE!
