Lost interest in it a while back. Can't quite remember why though.

Irish corned beef ( sometimes available here in Irish shops) is cooked beef that has been corned ( salted) It looks like sliced roast beef rather than the sort thats imported ftom Fray Bentos. I imagine then Irish is like Jewish kosher salt beef.

Here's a slightly different corned beef hash. Not the dish by that name that I first tasted, but worth a try. The pickles add a textural and flavour contrast, if you include them. Corned Beef Hash serves 4 Ingredients 275g/10oz potatoes, diced but not peeled 3 tbsp oil 1 onion, sliced 1 garlic clove, crushed 225g/8oz tinned corned beef, diced (about the same size as the potatoes) 3 tbsp Worcester Sauce/Henderson's Relish 1 tsp English mustard gherkins/cornichons, roughly chopped (optional) salt black pepper oil 50g/2oz butter Method 1. Boil the potatoes in a pan of salted water 'til they are beginning to soften, then drain. 2. Heat two tablespoons of the oil in a pan and fry the onion and garlic for 6-8 minutes, or until softened and lightly browned. 3. Put the onion mixture into a bowl with the Worcester sauce, chopped gherkin and mustard. Season with salt and pepper and mix well. Then add the corned beef and stir in gently, to avoid breaking the chunks down too much. 4. Transfer this mixture to an ovenproof dish. 5. Preheat the grill to high. 6. Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil with the butter in a frying pan and fry the potatoes until tender and golden-brown. 7. Spoon the potatoes on top of the meat mixture in the dish, then place under the grill for 4-6 minutes, or until crisp and golden-brown.
