Corned Beef Hash

[sandyRoe]

This is prompted by a current thread on tin openers. As kids we used to have corn beef hash, corned beef and finely chopped scallions mashed into boiled potatoes. There were more spuds than corned beef, as I remember. Anyone else remember similar meals?

Tripe and onions. I loved it. With white sauce.

I can vaguely remember eating 'rissoles' at boarding school made out of left over roast beef minced with the left over veg and coated in breadcrumbs and fried. We were convinced they were made with the plate scrapings from Sunday Lunch.

One of my dad's mates was the local poacher and it was a rare week when we didn't find something hung on the back of the gate.A couple of rabbits a some mixed veg,mostly home grown and handful of barley would make a very tasty stew that would feed five of us for a couple of days.

We seemed to eat a lot of onions. One of my favourites was cheese and onion soup. A big pan of boiled onions with scraps of cheese added for the last ten minutes. The grease would be floating on the top and you had to scrape the cheese off the spoon with your front teeth. Lovely.

ours was more of a corned beef mash, as it was never fried or with anything other than beans. We were told that liver was lamb and rabbit was chicken, just so we'd eat it.

Corned beef hash also...but not with mash. Is that a British thing? We made it with cubed potatoes. Crispy all over.
I also remember my mums tomato sauce or ragu. She used pork bones of some sort,and the best part was picking the meat off the bones after it had been simmering for hours.

yes corned beef hash for us in Quebec was saute potatoes with onions and real corned beef (you could buy it fresh in supermarkets) cubed into it,and gravy of course,everything has to have gravy.

Sandy, I always thought corned beef hash was what I made for tea yesterday, a stew of potatoes, onion , carrots thickened & corned beef chunks dropped in at the end of cooking?
