There are basically two brands of CBH here in the U.S., Libby's and Mary's Kitchen. They both
look, taste, and smell like dog food.

'Mary Kitchen'. Here are a variety of brands you can get: pwclub.comdept 170.htmlOpen ↗

Here's a recipe: Corned Beef Hash

12 ounces chopped corned beef 2 whole potatoes cooked and grated
1/2 cup chopped mixed peppers
2/2 cup chopped red onions
3/2 cup chopped scallions 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves 1 tablespoon chopped fresh
rosemary leaves
4/2 teaspoon salt
5/2 teaspoon fresh pepper

Mix all the ingredients together and saute in a pan until golden brown, about 8 minutes.

And a link to a quite different one by Delia Smith:

How do you guys make corned beef hash?

My recipe calls for a can of corned beef.

Mine calls for a can of corned beef hash.

Try it from scratch jsut once and you'll probably never go back to using canned hash. See the
recipe I posted in response to this question.

Could be. However, I've *never* cooked a corned beef, and not likely to cook one just so I could
imitate something I actually like pretty well out of the can -- one of those tastes based on
familiarity with a commercial product and unrelated to what 'real' might taste like. :-)

Well, your talking to the wrong person. My hubby and I are war babies from UK. We both love
spam too! <g>

I will eat canned corned beef hash if I don't have the makings for it myself. It's not bad of
fried up nicely. Canned corn beef, however, is not something I'd bother with. AFAIC, it's right up
there with Spam and Treat.

I fell for that canned corned beef stuff many years ago, when I still lived alone and was craving a
corned beef sandwich. What a let down...

Same animal. The two main ingredients are meat and potatoes. I should have mentioned the onion,
though. How you season it doesn't change the name of the dish. Note that the canned corned beef hash
(your favorite) has no noticable onion in it.

I cook all my hash in rendered chicken fat (usually skimmed from thetop of chicken stock or from
crispy fried skins).

Sort of like Cool Whip for people who have never tasted real whipped cream. <G

I think you're meaning something like "comfort food" or maybe "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"

Some people just don't understand these concepts and always try to push the old "my way is better"
or "it's my way or the highway"

Unless, of course, the group strays from a topic which they don't wish to stray from. Oh, that's the
"my way or the highway" thing, isn't it?

If you like corned beef, I would recommend that you try cooking one. It's very easy, cheap and
tasty. Take the corned beef and put it in a pot. Cover with water. Cook according to the directions
on the package. About an hour before it's done, toss in some peeled whole potatoes and carrots.
When it's done, take everything out and toss in a quartered head of cabbage. Cook for 15 minutes
and then eat!

Some may call it barbaric, but some grated cheese melted into CHB (any kind) can be really good..

I understand what you are saying, I think. I have cooked corned beef and enjoy it. I also enjoy
canned corned beef. I look at them as two separate items. Liking one does not necessarily exclude
liking the other. I like fresh spinach but I also like canned spinach. I like homemade soup but I
also like some canned soups. I prefer Dennison's no-bean chili for my chili dogs. I also like
homemade Jailhouse chili. All different things and not mutually exclusive. One doesn't have to make
a choice between one or the other. Nor does ones choice speak in anyway that is negative toward
oneself or another. I like bottled mayo and dislike homemade. So what? I understand that there are
those who eat oysters; the thought of which is enough to gag me.

Hey, I couldn't care less what someone else eats and, in this case, if they prefer to eat canned
meat or canned hash that's fine with me. I merely meant that if someone hasn't tasted another
version of something, how can they say they *prefer* the one they have tasted. There has been no
comparison, therefore, there can be no tested preference.

I have eaten both the canned and the homemade. I still will, but I *prefer* the homemade. If you
want canned, I'll fix it for ya. <G>

Even better, corn your own beef. I haven't bought a corned brisket since I corned my own chuck roast
a few years ago. Takes only a few days of brining in the fridge, and is well worth it.

The one I use is the one that Cyndi posted here for Nova Scotia corned beef.

The "different animal" is homemade hash vs. canned. They are barely the same foods, but that does
not mean the canned stuff isn't appealing to many.

And homemade is best with onion. I never said canned had it.

Enjoy. To me, that is quite unappealing. Schmaltz, cayenne, and herbes de Provence are an odd
combo in and off themselves, let alone in hash, but there are as many hash recipes as blades of
grass in a lawn.

<snip>

If you like canned corned beef, you should try using it in fried rice. It can be quite good, but is
best if the pan is very hot and you can get the rice and corned beef crispy. If you don't have
corned beef handy, tuna fried rice is good, too :-).

Oh, I wasn't suggesting *you*, but I'm sure there are those who have never tasted anything but
Cool Whip.
