I'm not sure if I could eat corned beef on its own, but I do like corned beef hash and make it regular. Does anyone remember what David's attitude was to the corned beef? Like or dislike?

I dont think they would melt that quickly she could have put them in her pocket or used her bandana- to be honest I can't remember what she was wearing or Eric for that matter- I just thought it odd she ate them all- still I like her a lot and hope for either her or David to win

As I recall they're not allowed to take anything away from the task site (otherwise why not take the famous pizza back), so .... get it while you can.
We have a dish called pan-a-cal-tee (no idea how its supposed to be spelt but its basically corned beef stew) its corned beef potato and a stew pack ( onions carrots turnips and parsnips) chopped up in a big pan with gravy.Great to dip bread into on cold winter nights.
I love Corned Beef and also like Baked Beans - I don't think either of them were particularly good prizes though. I'd have probably gone for the Corned Beef but then would have been disappointed as like someone said earlier in the thread what they had looked cheap and horrid.

I agree, corned beef hash is lovely, so are corned beef fritters, but it has to be the good stuff, cheap corned beef is like a sludgey paste, even my cats wouldn't eat it.
I would probably have gone for the beans, but only because I can imagine eating a plate of beans with nothing else, whereas I find it hard to imagine eating corned beef with nothing else.

But both are just fine by me.”
I like them both too. After being on such a restricted diet Id be chuffed with either.
Id have gone for the beef as it could be incorporated into the rice and beans for flavour and would go further.
I love corned beef hash with beans and brown sauce.. its blumming luuuuvverly
I thought Ash and Charlie were like a pair of spoiled kids over the CB...... all the crap they've done and they were quibbling about canned meat. Silly mares!
No matter how hungry I was I hate beans so much, the other camp mates could snarf them.
I sort of felt an empathy with Eric during the whole show, he wasn't fussed about the ice cream, nor Ashley snarfing all the choccies. I would have been the same, ice cream, chocolate, meh.
They get given beans every day with their rations. Why have more beans as a "treat". I like baked beans but I wouldn't want to eat them on their own. I like corned beef but as a change I'd have chosen it if I was in that situation.
I was surprised Ashley didn't know what corned beef was. Maybe if Eric had told her it was canned meat she might have got what it was. She seemed worried it might not be cooked or might be off more than anything.
It all depends on the quality of the product. Heinz baked beans are the dog's bollocks ... but some are just awful. Fray Bentos Corned Beef is quite (in fact very) nice - especially in a nice corned-beef hash or home made meat and potato pie - whilst Princes Corned Beef doesn't quite hit the spot.
However - THAT corned beef that they had looked of a particularly poor quality. I've never seen corned beef look that pale or sloppy! Maybe they just don't have access to decent corned-beef in Oz that we do in the UK.

It looked too sloppy to do that though! I feel sorry for Australians if that is the corned beef that they are used to!
