Corned Beef

[Venisonpie]

Anyone else a bit partial? Bloody ace in my sarnies today.

Yum, great for sarnies but not exactly healthy eating I fear.

Ah "tinned Typhoid",

Love the stuff most of all as corned beef hash.

Bloody lovely. My Grandad used to make me corned beef & English mustard sarnies. Still have them today at work, get some funny looks from the uneducated

[Coolbanana]

Grew up with corned beef sarnies as a favourite for school lunches. My wife hates it, can't understand how I like it, but I do!

Corned beef, egg and mayo!

Also known as 'Early Grave'.

I hope you know what's in it!

[craigjm]

thick corned beef slices, mature cheddar cheese, branston pickle between thick freshly sliced white bread

[Gameface]

White bap, corned beef, sandwich pickle and lots of pepper.

Lovely!

[Testaburger]

Hash.

Dreamy.

[anonymous-user]

mmmm corned beef.

not the same from tesco as it used to be out of a tin, probably because you add less of your own blood opening it

[Trophy Husband]

My guilty pleasure. Corned beef salad on brown with mayo, mustard and loads of black pepper. Food of the gods.
I love opening the can with the key. Having an early nibble and then doing something with it. I make a mean corned beef hash with lardons, sun ripened dried tomatoes, shallots, garlic and obviously spuds. Splash of Shrichuan for the last 20 minutes, dreamy.
Fray Bentos is a place.

Referred to in the RN as "Corned dog"

Love it.

Love a bit of corned beef. I bought a tin on Saturday and make a massive corned beef, cheese and pickle sandwich and then used what was left on Sunday for a corned beef hash for breakfast! Yum!

Get you, all fancy!

When I was a nipper, I used to sneak into the local for a pint or two and it was when they used to have filled rolls on the bar under a cover.

Cheese & Onion, or, as Jim the landlord used to say, Crushed Monkey.

Do like knocking up a corn beef hash for the kids...

Definitely better from the can rather than slices. Slices can be a bit dry in comparison.

I was just looking at the ingredients of Princes "lean" corned beef.

Cooked Beef (95%), Beef (3%), Salt, Sugar, Preservative: Sodium Nitrate

Typical values per 100g

Energy 776kJ/185kcal

Fat 9.0g
- of which saturates 5.0g

Carbohydrate 1.1g
- of which sugars 1.1g

Protein 25.0g
Salt 1.30g

I suppose the big question is what can legally be called "beef"? All sorts of dodgy bits? If it contained offal, you would think they would have to state it on the ingredients.

The slices come from a can anyway. Amazing how many people will buy it from a deli counter because it's 'better', when all they've done is open a can out the back and stick it on a slicer.

You can buy slices in sealed packets from the refrigerated area, but they are a bit drier.

And where do you think the factory gets the slices from?
