Best corned beef

[Purple_Popple]

Which brand of corned dog do you prefer, or do you buy it straight from the deli ?

[Stephen_G]

I think we buy Tesco's own brand, P_P. Very nice, once you've skimmed off the fatty bits.

English corned beef or American corned beef? Very different.

Ugh, haven't eaten it for 30 - 40 years.

[Purple_Popple]

Oooo, what's the difference Daisy ?? Didnt know there were Ameriacan and English varieties, tell me more...

This could put you off corned beef!

English (mostly Argentinian in tins ) fatty, stodgy but wonderful comfort food. Slice of buttered toast, layer of branston pickle, then the corned beef, topped with sliced tomato and grilled. If starving put cheese between the toast and pickle.
American, thin slices of cured beef,(low fat) superb with dill pickle.Delicatessan food. Sometimes available in supermarkets. Do try it.
Tinned stuff wonderful in hash, especially when combined with beetroot.

I used to like Fray Bentos but now i find it too salty and it gives me indigestion. Don't eat it much at all now.

I use corned beef, instead of mince, in my bolognese. I was a bit put-off, though, when I found what looked like a piece of heart ventricle in it.

here in the states, usually the store brand sliced very thin is great......sometimes you can find hebrew national kosher corn beef brisket in a deli that will slice for you....for me, it is tough to call the stuff in a can corned beef LOL

Aldi's brand - very little fat, and not as salty as some brands
