Baked Beans Quote:
I've never had baked beans and never will. I'd rather eat kangaroo's anus.
So it would be corned beef for me. |

I'd have opted for a bit of corned dog every time. There's few things that are more adaptable as a meal ingredient and, if it's of even reasonable quality, it can be really very tasty. Hell, I've been known to sit there many a time and just eat a whole tin of the stuff with, perhaps, a nice bit of English mustard.
Mind you, having seen Charlie and, especially, Ashley's reaction to this marvellous sustenance, I guess it's for the best that they weren't told that other old nickname for it, "old man".

Love how this thread has turned into a corned beef recipe book.

Marks and Spencer food hall sells corned beef sarnies ... and I'm sure they're every bit as nice as the kind made at home ... out of a tin, with nice fresh bread and a bit of brown sauce
Those girls were making out like eating corned beef was akin to dipping in bins for your supper |

I love corned beef and chips. It's what kept us going during World War 2, I am told. Probably Fray Bentos. Mind you it is a good idea to put the tin in the fridge for a little while to chill it. That way it is more easy to cut into slices.

A good way with corned beef is corned beef, onion, potatoes and fresh parsley cooked, smashed up with a bit of butter then put in pastry on a big plate and cooked in the oven. Yum. Very different from the poxy little pasties sold in garages etc.

I make this, except I have pastry on the bottom too, to make a proper pie. We call it cow pie in our house and also crumble an oxo cube into the mixture for added taste. Serve it up with baked beans and you are well and truely stuffed.
![]() ... that's what we call it in my part or Wales too |

Yes, I put pastry on the bottom too .
Shortcrust pastry brushed with egg yolk and some pastry leaves to decorate. Lovely hot or cold especially with some tomato sauce. I'm Welsh as well .This is a land of tasty food I nearly fainted once because someone told me that English people don't put jelly in their trifles.

I think it's a male/female thing. Chaps will always go for meat because they think it's "manly" but many women might think (as Charlie did) of the tomatoes, salt and sugar content of baked beans (plus fibre) which are a bonus compared to the plain old meat+salt+sugar+fat content of corned beef.

I like a corned beef and pickled onion sandwich. Or corned beef with chips and peas or beans and a dollop of brown sauce, delish...

Corned beef diced and mixed into mashed potatoes. Covered in thick onion gravy and served with baked beans.
Lovely. I thought corned beef was traditionally eaten on St Patrick's day in the US, Along with dyed green beer. |

If the corned beef had come out of the can in a solid way and could have been sliced it would have been more appealing- but it did look like dog food! Ashley was full of chocolate anyway so probably was not hungry - and- she didn't bring any chocolates back for David or Charlie - I found that a bit strange and a tad greedy

I am on a diet and had baked beans for a treat the other night. They were sweet, very tasty and filling. Corned beef? no thanks, I would rather eat a plate of rice. |

One thing about Corned Beef is that in one of the lost episodes of Dad's Amy was about that is the reason Walker wasn't in the real Army as he was allergic to it he got his call up and then found out and as it one one of the main foods the Army had he got discharged on medical grounds
