I like it with either ketchup or Branston pickle. Never tried it with brown sauce but I'll have to give it a go now.

That sounds amazing.

 

[Dave-Vale]

Never tried it from a decent butcher but the stuff out of a tin or from a supermarket meat ounter is vile.

Must be an older generation thing because my Dad loves the stuff.

 

[SALTIRE]

Aye it really is, home made and fresh from the butchers - so much better than the stuff you get in supermarkets. I always get chops/sausages/steak and corned beef from a good butchers. You pay that bit extra, but its by far superior in flavour.

Same here. The stuff out of a tin is disgusting. Never been inclined to try any other variety because of it.

Corned Beef Hash was a favourite pub lunch at the Prince Albert in Earl Soham (also home of excellent butcher). I never managed to repeat the taste and texture at home.

One Christmas, sister-in-law produced home made corned beef for Boxing Day - one of the best tastes and textures ever.

 

[appletablepenny]

A further vote for Corned Beef. Must be chilled and thick cut though, preferably with branston.

 

[Dave-Vale]

Corned beef hash is a different story. That is ideal.

 

[appletablepenny]

My mother in law makes a corned beef and onion pie - just a thin top crust, baked on a plate. It's the dog's.

 

[PaulHaddock]

Corned beef from a tin is nice apart from when you chew a bit of fat or gelatine euuh.
Corned beef has is beautiful. Never tried it other than from a tin though.

This is what proper handmade corned beef should look like. It's as different to the tinned stuff as Messi (or Bingham) is to Danny Crow or Matt Rhead.

George McCartney, who runs the business with his brother Gordon and daughters Judith and Sarah, said: “This is a product that is handmade and is very time-consuming both to make and to cure and press. All the fat has to be meticulously removed and the beef is dry-cured, weighed into the presses and cooked long and slow with natural gelatine."

Why go to all that trouble to serve it with the shittest supermarket packet looking salad

Agreed - but I bet the photographer was a vegetarian so what can you expect.

Corned beef.

Speaking of corned beef, I just had a titanic to and fro battle with a tin of corned beef. Much tears and blood were spent but I did eventually access the perfect nectar within.

The bit that the key twists around just broke when I was twisting almost straight away. The tin opener didn't work, it only seemed to serve to anger the tin further. I tried to wedge a knife under the bit I had already opened and lift it up but the tin only laughed at my meager efforts. Eventually I got a screwdriver and a hammer and smashed at the small opening until the lid began to slowly but surely lever free. It was halfway off and I thought, here's my chance, so I hastily grabbed the lid and pulled with all my might. Tears came to my eyes as my index finger opened up with a decent sized slash. As I reached for the plasters, the tin sat there on the table the lid slightly ajar in a manner which could only be described as infuriating smugness. Angered, I grabbed the hammer, held the tin over the edge of the table and clobbered it till it eventually came lose. I thought about picking up the lid and putting it in the bin, but I decided to leave it there for the time being covered in specks of its own innards as a warning to any further corned beef tin revolts.

Oh, remind me to add corned fucking beef tins to the hate thread.

 

[JaseTheVillain]

I've tended to avoid corned beef personally, I've had the good stuff from the butchers when I was younger and that was beautiful, I've only since had the tinned stuff (and that is very rarely when the missus has some and I'm frigging starving), and it's awful stuff. It's something I really want to get into eating though. Also, the sauces talk is interesting as I've never tried it with sauce.

 

[Saddlerrad]

Corned beef a mayo sandwiches. Food for beasts.

 

[JaseTheVillain]

Only issue with that, is that mayo makes nothing better, with the exception of Coleslaw and Potato Salad.

 

[Saddlerrad]

Do a combo. Small squirt of mayo, couple of mouthfulls of Coleslaw all together on one.

 

[TomPNE94]

Corned Beef is horrible

 

[merseyboyred]

Corned beef is great, mayo is the king of condiments. Now I've settled the issue, carry on.

 

[G.B]

mayo is heavenly tbf. ranch dressing is the bollocks in a sarnie too
