Parts of the animals we don't eat?!? I take it you don't get beef butchered at a custom kill. I paid for that steer, I'm going to use all the cuts of the carcass. As a former federal meat inspector for USDA FSIS, the meat is carcass meat.

[@monmixer]

I just try to keep it intact and fry it with some cheese melted on it. then there is this: 1 can corned beef 1 head garlic chopped 2 onions, sliced 5 eggs, beaten 5 tbsp flour 1 tsp cornstarch salt and pepper Steps Saute' onion, garlic and corned beef. Add salt and pepper to taste. Let it cool. Mix egg, flour, and cornstarch. Beat well. Add salt and pepper according to your taste. Then fold mixture into corned beef. Put in a loaf pan, grease pan with oil first before putting the loaf mixture. Bake for about 25 mins at 300°F. Serve with bread.

As a Filipino, I love corned beef for breakfast, lunch and dinner. My favorite brands are Palm, Hamper and Purefoods. We sometimes sautee it with onions to pair with garlic fried rice and sunny side up eggs. Sometimes we cook it like a corned beef hash. With fried tomatoes, onions, garlic, diced potatoes and ad a cup of water for sauce.

[@JacknVictor]

Most corned beef comes out of 2 factories, and most different brands are actually just the same product in a different label. Some brands may have a slightly different recipe but they tend to just be mostly the same. Source? 15 years as a marketer, tester and an importer of Brazilian and Argentina corned beef and other beef products for supermarkets and other avenues of sale. Another not so well known fact is that most corned beef in cans is certified as halal, but a lot of companies do not advertise the fact on their packaging as it can put off some customers from purchasing. The ones that do advertise as halal, such as Exeter brand end to be twice as expensive as the ones who do not, but it is the same stuff as Fray Bentos and even Aldi supermarket s own brand. There are codes printed on the tin itself that can be checked online to find it's origins. Why am I giving away industry secrets like this? One, this info is available online anyway, and two, why would I care, I don't do that for a living anymore and it was just a job to me. I became ill 5 years ago and left the job. End of. Also, don't worry about what corned beef contains, because whatever you eat goes on to form a turd so it doesn't really matter. Corned beef keeps forever despite it having sell-by dates on it, and when all other food has gone, corned beef can keep you alive for as long as you have some. It can be a literal life saver. Whether you eat cake or caviar, chips or chocolate. It all ends up as a jobby in a sewer.

Another advantage of the can shape: when you key open the little removable strip, the bottom is a little bigger than the top, so the can can be closed back up for storage if it's not consumed in one sitting.

Yeah, bully beef was a staple ration in the British Army was well, from the 1870's right the way through until the early to mid 1950's. It was only eaten on its own if there was no way to get cooked food to the troops, as the British Army did not rely on the troops cooking their own meals, that was what the Company Kitchens attached to each company was for. Those kitchens came up with all sorts of ways to cook the stuff. The two most common being a kind of beef hash, and a form of very thick stew. And yes, it was *thick* stew.

I once read about an incident during WWII. A ship was bringing supplies to one of the pacific islands when it had a mechanical failure and was dead in the water in the middle of the ocean. It was over a month before the replacement part could be delivered and their ship could get underway again. The ship's food supply was to last for the entire trip, which was a week, then they would get resupplied. Naturally, they ran out of food. Fortunately (or unfortunately, hehe) they were carrying a resupply of food for the troops, an entire shipload of SPAM!!! When their normal food suply ran out they fell back to their cargo, and ate Spam for breakfast, Spam for dinner, Spam for supper, and Spam for snacks, until they could get the ship repaired and make it to port. I would assume that after going that long eating only one thing, they probably got sick of even seeing another can of Spam!

One of my favorite hearty meals is corned beef hash. 4 pounds diced potatoes fried up in olive oil/butter mix. Add in 2 whole sweet onions, chopped. season with salt, pepper, garlic powder When the onions and potatoes are about cooked thoroughly, add in 2 cans corned beef. Mix well. Cook for 10 more minutes. Fill a bowl up and top it off with 3 over easy eggs.

[@5610winston]

Sounds good, but if you use the same amount diced deli-sliced corned beef instead of the canned mystery meat stuff, it really pops. Fry portions of the hash 'til brown and top with your eggs (I usually poach them) and you have an elevated breakfast entree. You might experiment with a bit of thyme and rosemary, too. I seldom cook for more than one, and I use a leftover baked potato (a Hasselback is a real treat) as a short cut.

We used to have it when I was a kid. The only way my mother ever used it was in sandwiches. She made a filling similar to tuna, chicken, or egg salad. Mashed it up with diced pickle, mayonnaise, and a bit of mustard. Possibly some finely minced onion, I can't remember.

Brazil is responsible for production of 80% of corned beef world, we rarely eat it, I eat it when was child, until the 70´s was popular here, kind of fancy food, know as popular name "quitute", the Swift Industries from USA were responsible for corned beef in Brazil, Swift turned JBF , a very large brazillian group world wide. As I know, and I went to some slaughterhouses to work I saw that they use all parts of the cattle in some way or another, whether as food, or another product, I don't think this is wrong. I believe that canned meat should still be a very good source of protein, and I also believe that humanity should rationally seek to use all possible food sources and feed all the billions of people on the planet. It's a shame that billions of people do not have the right access to adequate food in the world, the fact that food is canned does not mean that it is unhealthy, there are uncanned foods that are ultra-processed and perhaps not as healthy. The process of canning food is very good for preserving it sometimes using less chemicals.

Hi, Luiz, Quitute, spelled Kitut on the tin, was my father's brand, either pork or bovine, but the manufacturer was Wilson, not Swift, which had its own brand (Fiambrada). Real corned beef was very difficult to find as it was mostly exported. Wilson was sold to a group from Argentina that ended operations almost immediately, to my father's dismay. I'll tell you a very little-known fact: My father was the only native Brazilian of executive level in the firm. When they were struggling to launch some canned food with a local appeal my father suggested "Why not feijoada?" because it would be very straightforward to manufacture as they already had all the ingredients but beans. It was - and remained a success up to the closure of the plant.

In the UK the Princes brand of corned beef shown at 2:38 can come from either Brazil or France. The cans for the two sources are slightly different shapes, with the French version taller and more tapered.

I've gotta try the grilled corned beef and cheese sandwich mentioned in this comment section, though. that sounds fabulous. I remember reading a long time ago that the "corned beef" in Irish Corn Beef and cabbage was originally less like brisket and more like canadian bacon. I sometimes find it hard to get my hands on canadian bacon even though I'm living so close to the Can adian border, so I always just used a flat of corned beef brisket with a nice fat cap and used that to make my corn beef and cabbage. Delish. the two best places in Detroit, Mich to get a great corned beef sandwich were Mr. Foe Foe's and Esquire Deli. Now, I'm in the Capitol area and the best places I've found so far ar Lansing Stateside Deli and Restaurant and T's mr. cornedBeef. But the canned stuff will do in a pinch.

The Royal Navy was fueled by salt beef and biscuit, later with lime juice to prevent scurvy, because it can be kept for far longer periods than fresh fruit and vegetables. It was the adoption of lime juice for this purpose that led to brits being referred to as "Limeys" by the US, which was very backward in adopting the practice of actually using the developing science of nutrition. Later, the salt beef moved from barrels to the cans we are familiar with today. Ironically, when the Argentine Junta invaded the Falkland Islands, stores could barely give away Argentinian bully (or corned) beef in the UK, as most consumers boycotted it. The Royal Navy gleefully bought up hundreds of tons of the stuff at well below normal market price (even wholesale), and the task force departed the UK with it stacked so deep in parts of some ships that it raised the deck level by the height of a box of the stuff - so Argentinian canned corned beef fueled our liberation of the Falklands!
