Do you guys eat this stuff? I really love it with eggs. Yummy!!! The Roast Beef Hash is even better.

ummm, meat in a can? No. Can't say as I have!


A guy here at work just got back from Varadero Cuba and was bitching about how cold it was.

I told him NOT TO GO to that side of the island in December! It's just below Florida!

he was complaining about the Russians there. This has become a familiar refrain, I have to say. It's about the fifth time I have heard that in the last few months.

You have to expand your horizons Maggie! You and your husband will love it! I usually eat Hash while camping but it is good anytime.

I can see where there might be many Russians in Cuba. They are all checking on their clandestine missile sites!

Love it! Never eat it. I just don't think to buy it anymore. There are a couple of greasy spoon cafes around here that serve it for breakfast. It used to be a very traditional camp breakfast for me. Wake up. Catch a couple little trout. Go back to camp and cook up the trout with a side of hash a couple eggs, and coffee. Oh man that brings back many many good memories.

I will take your word for it. I have never seen it around here, I have to say. We do have Spam though.

Actually, I do buy meat in a can- tuna!


Get a deer yet, Uno? Don ended up getting a nice doe a week or so ago. Looked for a big guy but no dice this season.

It's all nice and tucked in our freezer (the roasts) but most is at the local butcher who is making a bunch of spicy sausage out of it- yum!

Spam is really popular in Hawaii! I can eat it but prefer Hash. Congrat's to Don on bagging his deer! Way to go dude!

Yum! Even better homemade! May have to get the wifey to pick up a corned beef. I love it with horseradish.

what is 'corned beef' exactly?


I like horseradish on roast beef! I never liked it until this year, though.

I like the raw horseradish sauce better than the creamy sauce.

Brine cured beef. They use some seasonings that make it unique. It is very popular on St. Patty's Day. Usually served with boiled cabbage and new potatoes. St. Patty's day not a big deal in Canada? Very big here! Lots of beer drinking and of course Irish whiskey. Everybody is Irish on St. Paddy's day.

My dad always orders corned beef hash for breakfast. It looks like pieces of canned ham cooked with onions and potatoes and served with eggs on top. I think it's gross because canned meat like that reminds me of cat/dog food or "ham salad."

What he said...I make it from scratch...bay leaf, garlic, pickling spices (sans cloves) peppercorns etc. brine it for a week to ten days or longer depending on size.....unique flavor. I usually do briskets but you can use rounds or even a chuck roast.

I don't think I have ever had it. I am sure you can get it, I've just never looked for it.

Sounds tasty (well, not Mel's description, but Stephen's! )

We have quite a few Irish ancestry people too around here, and St. Paddy's Day is popular here too....green beer! But we have more Ukrainian/German/English than Irish, I think. Our biggest ethinic foods are cabbage rolls and perogies and kielbasa....and mushy peas.

Perogies! Yum!!! I like pasties too. The ones you eat not the ones you wear. Although there pretty nice too.

Get some and simmer it slowly (like a poach) until the meat falls apart and then serve it on some good sour rye with a good hearty mustard.....I would kill for one of those right now....
