What goes well with corned beef in a sandwich?

[jonnyd1978]

Lettuce, cucumber and a very light drizzle of salad cream followed by sweet chilli sauce.

and then in the bin with it

 

[quiet guy]

Either Branston pickle or brown sauce

 

[friendofdorothy]

mango pickle goes suprisingly well.

Nowt, it looks and smells, and presumably tastes, of pet food

The end of rationing and proper sandwich fillings.

Pet food is much more bland. I eat corned beef nearly every week. I haven't eaten pet food for years.

that sounds like someone who does not know how to cook it

corned beef is not spam

 

[Orang Utan]

but spam tastes good, corned beef tastes like it has been condemned as unfit for human consumption

I'm not a meat eater, in my meat cookery naivety I thought I'd fry a friend some like you do spam. It collapsed into a heap and he borked when he seen it was all white tubes , he's not touched it since. I'm still in therapy

I tried corned beef yesterday. It was as revolting as I thought it would be.

 

[quimcunx]

Salad cream.

I can't help wondering if the corned beef hate is from folks who haven't had the really decent stuff and are basing their dislike on the shite that comes out of tins, rather than a proper nicely done salt-cured brisket.

I think a lot of people don't realise that the stuff in tins isn't anything like proper corned beef.

not to give canned stuff to much hate

Go to anyone who has Jamaican heritage house and see what they can do with canned corned beef

I virtually lived on it for a year. You can get quite creative with it when you don't have a choice.

aye but bully beef is damn tasty if cooked right

 

[Orang Utan]

I’ve only ever seen it in tins

Honestly that is not what it is - it's like thinking that luncheon meat is what ham is like when it is just a facsimile of the actual thing - I blame war rationing tbh!

It should be brisket cured in brine with peppecorns and spices and it should be soft and tender and lush, not the mottled red brick of dubious animal origin from a tin.

EDIT: Honestly I cannot state it enough - a proper bit of corned beef is a thing of beauty in a similar way to a beautiful bit of ham. Not something that comes out of a tin in a block.

where is it available?

 

[Epona]

Delis in other parts of the world mostly, I am not sure why we have never properly got to grips with it here, especially when we make good ham here! Maybe not enough of a drive to have non pork based cured meats? Dunno.

 

[Saul Goodman]

where is it available?

It likely isn't, locally. As Epona said, it's a beef brisket, corned with 'corns' of rock salt (and whatever spices and sugar you wish to add).
Corned beef in a tin, although useable and tasty, is nothing like proper corned beef.

 

[AnnO'Neemus]

Branston pickle.

 

[Aladdin]

It was a staple in my childhood school lunch sandwiches...usually with some Coleman's mustard.

Settle in for a rerun of the mustard, shit/not shit? argument

Not a fan at all

Without tinned corn beef we wouldn't have corn beef hash pie. Which is pure comfort food.

Bumping old threads started by dead posters isn't a great look.
