Corned beef hash
 
Well I just HAD to have some yesterday, so I made a huge pot of it and keep having it fried up crispy with a puddle of ketchup - yummy!

This morning I put it on my update on Facebook and those of my friends from 'daaaarn saaarf' haven't heard of it. Is corned beef hash just a northern thing, like peas pudding?:confused:

I'd never had it nor neard of it til meeting my ex who was Derbys born, Yorks bred.... but fried? Nah. Kind of glooped together - corned beef, onions, diced cooked spuds, an oxo cube and then served with ketchup.
nb it's pease pudding. Don't ask me why!

No Oxo - but sage for us!

I'm from the south - both parents Eastend born and bred, growing up I was given that awful dollop of pease pudding next to my yummy bit of ham and mash, I feel the same about butter beans - there are just some things that shouldn't be placed on a plate. As for corned beef hash - yummy, I still make it myself - possibly to a different method, I dunno, I just do what my mum does. Boiled the spuds, then fry together with onion and corned beef, add tinned tomatoes and sometimes eggs too. Season to taste. I actually bought a couple of tins of corned beef yesterday to have in my cupboard to make this delicacy :thumbsup:

Chop onion and fry well
Add sage

Boil and mash tatties - add a little milk and butter and some s + p
OR
USE NEW POTS and just chop them up a bit

Chop corned beef into cubes
Stir into mash/pots a bit but don't break it up too much.

Make into pattie shapes and fry till crisp both sides.
Yum!

Bet you make some sooner than planned!:lol:

I'm Yorkshire born and bred.
I grew up on Corned beef hash.

Thow diced onion and diced potatoes into a pan.
Cover with water, boil until pots no longer crunchy.
Add diced corned beef.
Pepper to season.
And serve with doorsteps of proper bread and real butter.....yummy.

Only thing better is eating it the next day, it improves the flavours.

We used to have it this way too, but my mum called them Corned beef fritters.

My family receipe for Corned Beef Hash is basically to boil up some spuds, chop up the corned beef into cubs and them mash the whole lot together and stick it back into the oven until its gets a crispy crust...........yum yum

I am from Scotland and we cooked corned beef hash both here and back home. I carmalise my onions before mixing through. I also add half a can of baked beans in tomato sauce - I used to tell my kids it was cowboy pie :thumbsup:

Never any left! This sounds like my ex's recipe (oxo was obviously an add-on!) .... oh & we didn't eat the b&b doorsteps, but I remember his mum & dad in Brid always having b&b with everything so maybe that's a Yorkshire thing.

I've heard of it, never tried it, but it sounds awful. Although I must admit I'm probably not the right person to answer this as my mum's cooking basically involved microwaving frozen pizza's.

My mom used to make that when I was a kid, and we were in California but never did like it, and still dont like it.

Each to their own. You couldn't make it in a microwave or buy it in a shop (I think :ohmy:) so lazy's a relative term!

The very fact that most of us that grew up eating corned beef hash come from traditionally poorer (in times past) areas of the UK shows that it was born out of lack of funds for more exotic fayre not laziness I think.

But whatever, there is still nothing better on a cold winters day, so most of us continue to eat it even though we can afford not too.:D

Corned beef is more expensive than real meat here.

Re: Corned beef hash
 
Yes its true. You can buy good steak for less.:eek:

But for me its now a matter choice and a bit of nostalgia for the times we used a live :
"in't cardboard box on't coal tip"

The kids of today don't know they're born.:D

Are we talking the tinned Fray Bentos/Hormel stuff or the superb delicatessen pre-cooked meat, sliced razor thin and stacked high on good rye bread with mustard and Kosher Dill Pickle. IMO the canned stuff is good only for making hash, then drowning it in HP or Ketchup.

I LOVE corned beef hash - reminds me of Bonfire Night as they always seem to serve it with red cabbage at organised bonifires where we lived.
My Gran used to make it when we were kids and then my mum occasionally as we grew up at OUR request.
I make it for my kids now as they love it too especially in winter. I throw it in the slow cooker whilst im at work and the kids get home early - they dish themselves a helping.

I dont think its particularly unhealthy in todays climate. personally i would have thought that boxed frozen food ie/ pizza or chips ( not crisps) and chicken nuggets or other oven done frozen food was far less healthy than
potato, peas ( iput peas in) onion and corned beef.

anyway i love it :thumbsup:

Canned.

I dislike the deli stuff, along with dill pickle and rye bread.

Weused to have Corned Beef Hash and make extra to put in pies for next days lunch.

OK, now you've got me all hungry and nostalgic for corned beef hash, which I haven't had in years. Can I be bothered to go all the way to the supermarket just to pick up a couple of cans. Hmm, decisions, decisions.

Slice corn beef, onions and potaos.....
large pot add one layer of potatos, then corn beef, then onion
(keep doing this until pot is full and the top layer is potato)

Mix bisto or oxo and poor over
add a little black pepper to taste and cook.

Top layer gets crispy - serve

we also make it as a stew, love it in winter and we serve fresh baked bread with as well, sorry but thats how gt grandma made it and yep lancashire women through and through.
Must admit i love it, also love liver and onions :eek::eek:

I'm with Spritxer here. That's what we call panacklety. It's from Co Durham and definitely not the same as corned beef hash!

It's called Stovies in Scotland and it's yum - although my OH says it's dog food and refuses to eat it! :)

Basically, chopped up corn dog (beef)
Potaties
Onion and bisto gravy
Seasoning and all mushed together!

YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry hon, I've been offline for a while, and only just saw this.

No, I'm eighteen miles from the nearest supermarket so I usually wait until I'm driving by anyway. Going specially for something isn't a move to be taken lightly. In the end I decided I'd just rather have another Bass. Or 4.

From Nottingham and my mum would do this but throw in some shredded cheese to add to the crisp and flavour. We would eat it with baked beans
