Bought a tin the other day for the first time in years.
It didn't taste how I remembered it, awful, won't be buying it again.

I LOVE Bob Mortimers recipe for Corn Beef Hash. Me and Mrs have it once a month as a bit of a treat and it really is delicious.

I think I maybe once had corned beef hash as an adult even though it seems to be a strong childhood memory of being quite regular. That's very wrong, it's so nice especially on a chilly autumn night.
Now one thing I haven't had since being a kid is spam. A bit of fried spam. Nom. Although it's got nothing on corned beef.

The OH used to do a corned beef stuffed marrow.
You notice the word 'used' because I told her never again

Thanks for clarifying, my morning brain conjured up several scenarios before I got to that bit.The OH used to do a corned beef stuffed marrow.

It has been called that in the UK since the 1700s, when it was a staple of Royal Navy rations and later Army rats. The Army only stopped using it for ratpacks in the early 2000s.
Usually it's best mixed in with some kind of potato (typically boiled) with a dash of brown or worcester sauce and then fried.
Cold is common, as a sandwich or something, but the accompanying fat content of some brands can make it taste rather icky.
that mortimer thing with Branston ..I know older peoples taste buds decline but nonetheless.

I was the same -seem to remember it from years ago but it didn't taste the same as my memory said.
I think I will stick to my cheap rump steaks.
We use tinned to make corned beef hash, which is delicious, and one of my daughter's favourite meals.
We made the mistake of believing that this meant that we like corned beef. Apparently not. In every other format than mixed into hash it's bloody 'orrible.

Why is corned beef so expensive nowadays? I thought between that and spam they’re supposed to be the cheapest of the cheap faux-meats, they’re over £3.50 everywhere around here
That’s what I said!
Between that and a packet of sausages…I’d pick sausages. Actually you can get a packet of mince beef for more weight for less money.

Yea actually when you put it like that.
Probably because everyone is hoarding it in their loft or whatever because it basically doesn't go off, waiting for the world to go to ****.

I mentioned this very point to someone at work today and he said it could be to do with it is all imported from Argentina (not sure if that’s true) so there is shipping and transport, as opposed to local cattle. And there is the metal and packaging.

Corned beef and cheese toasties are nice.
