Spot on. I was born in 1948 and my dad, an ex tank commander in North Africa and Italy, loved corned beef. He had a one pound tin of corned beef ration PER DAY in field rations and never tired of it. In my childhood (early 1950s ration book Britain) - and even now, it's a fantastic staple for butties (with sliced onion), fritters (not brilliant), taterash (all one word !!😊) and your recipe, corned beef hash pie. Yum! 😀

[@judileeming1589]

Aussie here and I have never eaten canned corned beef but I have seen it in the Supermarket and my husband, a Yorkshireman treats himself to a can of it occasionally. Every supermarket and butcher in Australia sells freshly corned (brined) beef, pork and leg of lamb (2 year old sheep) that you cook at home. My favourite is pickled pork which is just like boiled ham, so moist. My parents used to make their own pressed lunch meat from fresh pigs cheek and cows tongue. They called it “brawn”. Our corned beef is brined as a slab of meat and then we cook it by simmering gently in water with brown sugar, vinegar, peppercorns and bay leaves, and when cooked is carved and served with mashed potatoes, steamed carrots and cauliflower, cooked shredded cabbage mixed with bacon bits and tossed in butter and a choice of white sauce or mustard sauce. The left overs are used as slices in a sandwich or chopped up and placed in a pie. The corned beef hash pie my family have eaten contained onions and baked beans and then topped with mash (made by my sister in law, a Yorkshire lass of 89 years). As a child my mum would batter slices and fry them up for us as a snack. Happy memories. Sorry, had to edit because words kept replacing what I actually intended to say.

[@Journeyman53]

A good piece of corned beef is hard to beat, but I refuse to buy the tinned stuff as it contains beef hearts. We used to make our own, pumping and then suspending in the brine solution. Salt Peter was needed to retain the red/pink colour of the meat. If you don't use it, the beef comes out grey, but is still edible. :-)

Susan from Shelburne, Ontario here. My husband (who is from Hertfordshire) has a variation on this for our kids. He does the hash the same, but makes them into pasties of a sort - he makes the top edge crimped so it looks like a stegosaurus back. The kids loved when we had dinosaurs for dinner!

[@susancurtis1651]

Yes I am a Yorkshire lass and we do something similar at ours. We make the corned beef hash the same way and then we mash it all together and spread it on an oven tray and we add a lid of short crust pastry too. ( we have been known to also line the base of the oven tray too with short crust pastry but that is optional ) We cook it in the oven and serve either with gravy or with HP brown sauce. .. delish ! 😂 a cheapish hearty meal for all the family.

[@mrnobody4237]

It used to be traditional to put an almost crust handle on a Cornish Pasty (apparently) So the tin miners didn't have to handle any of the pie they were going to eat and ingest whatever was on their hands.

[@susancurtis1651]

@@mrnobody4237 Yes, I also heard of that being done too.

[@paulstemmet2626]

I think the tinned ones will be made with a little cheaper cuts for the price factor and probably a binder added in, salt Peter makes the pink colour. I made plenty corned beef using h bone over Christmas. The brisket we corned and loads of spices added all round. This left to set then smoke cooked for Pastrami.

[@ella3328]

Oh very different to corned beef in Australia. Ours is not minced, we eat is sliced after cooking it ourselves.

[@ed9352]

[@gardeningfishingjimw9364]

I cook up corned beef at least once a month usually from the H bone (not minced) and have it sliced reasonably thick with fresh steamed veggies. I will try it from the brisket or tri-point and see how I go. Now as for ox tongue Paul.... I LOVE IT!!! I corn it myself then it gets rinsed and then a long slow cook. I have one hot meal and the rest goes in whole into the meat press and refrigerated. It is then sliced for sandwiches or for a cold meat and salad. (my cat loves it as well!!)

I was brought up on corn-beef pie. We had it for dinner and what was left was sliced and put into a Tuppa ware lunch box for the next day. Thanks for this video, in two ways. First for nudging me to get a corn-beef pie going but second, and most importantly, for making a proper pie encased fully in pastry and not a casserole lazily with a bit of pastry dumped on top. How can you have cold pie in your lunch box if it's only got a bit of pastry on top? You can't, it's rubbish and should be outlawed. It's OK for your Earl Grey sipping or Latta drinking bunch out for looks rather than substance but if you want a proper pie for a proper dinner it must be fully in pastry. Sadly the whole south of the UK has been invaded by the pastry top bunch mentioned. I dread the day I get a pasty half-pastried.

I wonder if that corned beef would not work better if you had a bit of protein extraction by mixing the ground corned beef till it becomes sticky before putting into the press. I don't know, haven't tried either but my thoughts are leaning towards a good old hand mix like when you make sausage.

[@stevev3664]

Tins of corned beef vary from one brand to another.I always test a brand by seeing if I can eat it straight from the tin. I have tried some that I couldn’t eat straight from the tin. It was too salty. Another brand I tried was nowhere here as salty and perfectly acceptable. In fact I ate the whole tin full straight from the tin. This is the one I would use for cooking with. 😅

if the barreled corn beef was room temp and unsealed, it must've been insanely saltier than today's version? that seems like salty stuff would be tricky to eat out on the sea (or might it be so salty that just soaking in sea water might get rid of a lot of the salt?)

[@jamessheridan4306]

I always thought that the 'corned' in corned beef came from the coriander and green peppercorns in the brine. Silly me.

[@stewedfishproductions7959]

As mentioned briefly, the term 'corned' actually comes from the usage of large, grained rock salt, called 'corns', an old fashioned term used in a food preservation salting process... Funny thing, I was born on The Wirral (where Paul Hollywood comes from), but in the late 50's, so not that long after WW2. Great Britain was still only just coming out of rationing and 'corned beef' was a staple of meal times! I remember distinctly being confused by the name (corned beef) and asking my mum where the 'corn' was..? I don't recall her answer, but I she clearly had NO idea why it was actually called 'corned' beef - LOL! It was only many years later (when the internet allowed much easier access to answers), that I bothered to look it up and found out about the 'rock salt terminology'.
