I go with either cabbage or just add a fried egg to the top of it. I like corned beef hash with fried eggs. I like to brown the corned beef hash really well though, so there are crispy's in it!

Elizien - We do also have it in slices over the counter at butchers etc

Paul (Higgies) I was tempted with mushrooms, but they would have just dissapeared. I put some fresh chilli in and also some sweet red pepper.

Heidi / Anyone else who is interested. Corned beef, also nicknamed Bully Beef was the staple food the soldiers ate in the trenches in the first world war. My great great grandad apparently could never touch the stuff when he returned home in 1918. No surprise really I suppose.

I forgot about that, Rich. But it is always a big square slab as far as I remember - it doesnt look like a joint of beef at all.

Also a staple food in WWII according to my Dad. My mother gave me a pair of silver torque bracelets when I was 15 which Dad had swopped for one tin of bully beef with a tribesman when he was in Palestine as a liaison officer!
