I really don't think I am. Eating corned beef IS like eating cat food.

It's disgusting stuff and I really don't know how people can do it.

So there.

Couldn't agree more. I also feel that way about tuna (though I know I'll get flamed for that one!)

paolosgirl · 28/01/2009 18:50

Why - have you eaten cat food?

MitchyInge · 28/01/2009 18:50

I haven't had corned beef for AGES but seem to recall it was quite nice, so, YA probably BU

differentID · 28/01/2009 18:51

It's delicious!
How can you be so negative?
Corned beef hash is a brilliant meal.
Corned beef and pickle sandwiches are brilliant!

I'm in shock that anyone would say the opposite!

MaryMotherOfCheeses · 28/01/2009 18:51

That's the point! you haven't eaten it for ages. Memory has blurred. You were a child.

I can tell you it's grim.

Katerina, I couldn't agree with you more! Tuna is vile, but sardines are worse. Much worse.

MaryMotherOfCheeses · 28/01/2009 18:52

Corned beef and pickle sandwiches

I do not know how you can.

It looks like old men's feet when cold.

it's the texture thing

tho i loved corned beef hash when i was little.

piratecat · 28/01/2009 18:53

rollmop anyone ?

CatchaStar · 28/01/2009 18:54

Ok so you don't like it, but some people will. I loved it when I was a child.

Yes, yabu.

noonki · 28/01/2009 18:54

My DH relishes me going to my mums so that he can live off corn beef hash, liver and kidney beans his 3 favourtite things,

they are likely to sited in any future divorce proceedings we may have

Thunderduck · 28/01/2009 18:54

It is lovely, particuarly with baked beans and a baked potato.

nappyzonehasastroppytoddler · 28/01/2009 18:54

corned beef is gross - what is it anyway because your right it does look like cold old speckly feet

MaryMotherOfCheeses · 28/01/2009 18:54

Never had a rollmop.

But I'm ready to believe that it's nicer than corned beef.

pointydog · 28/01/2009 18:54

I like it.

It's just like cold meat loaf really. If you get a good quality one, there's no jelly on it at all so nothing like cat food.

You are ignorant of The Beef, mother

DunderMifflin · 28/01/2009 18:55

Yik yik yik - I completely agree with the rollmop and corned beef thing - they are both disgusting!

To be honest, on the rollmop front, anything that is kept in fluid (particularly meat) makes me feel ill...

pointydog · 28/01/2009 18:56

I love rollmop herrings and I am not a fish person at all. Sometimes the idea of a rollmop still turns my stomach a little, but I still love them.

I become like that woman in The Tin Drum - stuffing her face with fish

differentID · 28/01/2009 18:56

Although I'm sure everyone is interested to find out what brand of cat food you are comparing it to?

piratecat · 28/01/2009 18:56

Marymother

it's a toughie

bleugh

MaryMotherOfCheeses · 28/01/2009 18:56

Tin said 82% beef

It was a Prince's one.

I DREAD to think what the Asda value one next to it was like.

Various other bits of old man no doubt!!!

OP posts:
pointydog · 28/01/2009 18:56

anything kept in vinegar? You don't like any sort of pickle?

MaryMotherOfCheeses · 28/01/2009 18:57

Ok, ok, so I've never actually eaten cat food. Bloody pedants.

But you know that smell, don't you.

OP posts:
pointydog · 28/01/2009 18:57

Tin??!!

oh no, I don't eat corned beef from a tin.

You minker

piratecat · 28/01/2009 18:58

pointy, i don't get that, if you are not a fish person I mean!!! i am a veggie, and before that, not a fish person either, but the rollmop, looks so 'real and rolly fishy'

MaryMotherOfCheeses · 28/01/2009 18:58

Piratecat, that does look truly gross

What are they wrapped around?
