The Untold Truth Of Canned Corned Beef
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 чер 2024
- Given that we live in a time that easily accessible refrigeration is widely available, fresh meat can be shipped just about anywhere safely. Thus, the need for canned corn beef may seem less than urgent. But it wasn't that long ago that canning food was a necessity for freshness, particularly for members of the military who were overseas and needed shelf-stable food they could just open and eat.
So while canned corn beef may not be as much of a necessity as it once was, that salty stuff still has lots of fans around the world. It has a cultural reach you may not even fully comprehend, at least not yet. Here's the untold truth of canned corn beef.

Do any of your favorite dishes include canned corn beef?
Yes. Both scalloped potatoes and potatoes au grautin.
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.
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.

In Jamaica, we also call it, bully beef as well as corned beef. usually eaten for breakfast with tomatoes, green peppers, onions, scallions, scotch bonnet peppers, thyme & pimento, sauteed in coconut oil and stewed down. Eaten with sweet plantain, avocado and johnny cakes (fried dumplings). We also serve with, hard boiled egg or as a fritter. Oh yes, with cabbage
I was looking for a Jamaican in these comments

It’s so mind boggling that there’s so much history behind corn beef. The depth they went to explain how it got its name, the significant role it had played in history and the origin of how it was started is great.
I used to call corned beef “corn” beef as a child. I also used to say trickle treat instead of trick or treat haha.
But why name corn beef when it's not made with corn?
@@imrytebeehyneu The first thing they bring up is how it got its name. Did you even watch the video ?
@@imrytebeehyneu it's not called corn beef

Very informative. No nonsense, drama, corny humor or unnecessary talk. Excellent.
A couple slices of canned corned beef on sandwich bread (white or whole wheat), Dijon mustard on both sides, and lettuce or similar greens always bring back fond childhood memories of boating in the summer with my family. Such a simple and easy way to relive some of the best parts of my childhood. Corned beef will always hold a special place in my heart.
Sounds nice but...... HP brown sauce on corned beef sandwich 😋😋😋😋
Mmmmmmmm. I love me some canned corned beef or spam or Armour treet, pan fried on a sandwich. Extra mayo! I also love me some potted meat on white bread with mayo. Underwood liverwurst or chicken spread too on white bread with mayo. Love me some canned meats. Idk why people are so picky these days.
Sounds like Spam! Lol

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.
As a young girl, my grandma would ask me what I'd like for breakfast and I told her corned beef frequently. I was maybe 6 or 7... she fried it up with scrambled eggs and man was that good 😁❤ best memories!!!
That's delicious. I fix mine the same way.
I love corned beef! I break it apart and pan fry in a small amount of oil. I boil the potatoes separately. I fry the meat till it is slightly browned. When the potatoes are done I mix them with the browned corn beef. The best!
I'm gonna have to try that out. I usually fry diced potatoes and corned beef together, but your way sounds a bit healthier!
Sure sounds good.
I'll bet you would like to use a potatoe ricer to process the potatoe before combining the two ingrediance. I'm really impressed with this tool
Does make a lovely stew
Don't forget the Onions and a fried Egg.

You are 100% correct
As a kid brought up in South Wales we had it a lot. We weren’t poor but not far from it and it came in lots of different guises from corned beef hash to corned beef pasties. Not sure what mum mixed with it but it was a tasty belly filler that no doubt stretched the budget. I still make the pasties and my granddaughter loves them ..and she’s a picky eater . Properly prepared its excellent 👌
North West Cumbria here and oddly enough my 2 kids are picky eaters but they both love corned beef hash and corned beef pie. sometime we get A&B roll too, thats like a mix of corned beef and ham thats good in pies too.
Newport lad here, corned beef outstanding!!
I store corned beef (and spam) as emergency food at my cabin. It is always open for people to stop in especially during winter storms in emergencies and many people had their emergency meal during a snow storm being corned beef,scalloped potatoes and re-hydrated green beans.
I have corned beef at my cabin too. Fast filling meal
Thats a good idea and with the forthcoming food problem a few cans is a good idea, here I've a few tins of PEK to help me along, usually for me a sandwich in Aldi Seeded Bloomer.@@alanaadams7440

I just started eating canned corned beef recently, I find if you put the can in the fridge, it sets up, making it easier to work with. Slice it thin and fry in non-stick pan with no added fat. So good!

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.
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.
No wonder you are all obese
salamat
I love this. The Filipino style looks delicious. It's a quick meal in Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹 also. If too busy corned beef and rice hooked up with hot peppers, onions, tomatoes, and a little seasoning can hit the spot. Palm brand was the best so far. My friend in Samoa used to mail them to me. He is a true friend. 👏🏼❤️ 🇼🇸
Good food l grew up on it could not afford much else cheers les from adelaide south australia
Now I'm going to have to find a friend from the Filipines or Australia.
@@natrlgrl6472 Palm brand corned beef comes from New Zealand where I live, and yes we export heaps to Samoa and the rest of the south pacific islands. Its not unusual to observe islanders buying ten tins at a time in the supermarkets here. Price is currently about NZ$7 each.
@@zeviono4562 I'm going to look online to see if I find it.
@@zeviono4562 we have Palm here in Canada and it's by far the best however its also the most expensive style on the shelf. I literally ration it for special occasions or to treat myself. It costs about $6-7 CDN per tin.
Memories of my Grandmother adding finely chopped onion, carrot, and potato to cubed corner beef and then wrapped in pastry (like a Cornish pasty). It was lovely!
Australian indigenous peoples love corn beef when we do shopping corn beef will be how favorited back up meat it will be the lucky last food tell how next shopping Fry it with tomato and onion garlic cloves , & for soup tomato onion and garlic and potato cabbage ginger and some frozen vegetables with a bit of Curry or vegetable stock to make nice soup we love it so much and won't stop buying it 😄😆

I love corned beef and cheese grilled sandwiches. It's amazing how a basic food item has held its own for so long . Spams very popular in Hawaii too I believe.
I love corned beef and cheese grilled too. I add mustard too. Very good.
Hormel Spam is huge in Hawai'i. It's thoroughly incorporated into the cuisine.

1 can of Wattie's baked beans
1 big chopped onion
1 big chopped tomato
1big kumara (NZ sweet potato) boiled and mashed
1 desert spoon plain floor
Water
Chuck some butter into a saucepan. On a medium heat, fry up the onion then add the bully beef. Add the flour and stir. Add the water, then the kumara then the baked beans. Reduce the heat and add the tomato. Give it a stir.
Toast up some split bread rolls. Spoon the bully beef all over, and serve.
Nice with a big mug of sweet tea when you're out in the bush!
My dad had a talent for finding the best eateries in town. One of his best finds was a delicatessen in Toronto called Johnnie's. They served the most delicious corned beef on rye sandwiches that I have ever had. The rye bread had caraway seeds and I had my sandwich with mustard and a whole dill pickle on the side. The beef was sliced paper thin and heaped an inch thick, and it was served hot. You could also get pastrami served in the same way. Kosher food is so good!
When I was grwoing up in Australia and also in the Army it was called "Bully Beef", not good to live on as a ration , but when added to peppers, potatoes and onions it is brilliant cooked
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 have a recipe for it somewhere and have cooked it up. You can literally stand your spoon up in it. Very filling and surprisingly tasty.
The preservative they used is actually potassium nitrate a large proportion of the ingredient of gunpowder.
1st generation Filipino in the US & I do eat it as portrayed in this video! My mom used to add squished cherry tomatoes & thin slices of onion served over steamy rice & the egg on top (tapsilog).
Cornsilog
I read somewhere the trapezoidal can shape was introduced for military rations so the cans could be easily closed up again, with the key strip removed the thick end snugs down tight over the other part of the can pretty handy for troops in the field who may have had to stretch out their food until resupplied and didnt want bugs and dirt getting into their food.
Now that i look at it does look like a mre Army style food.
corned beef has become a staple of Puerto Rican cuisine for lunch and dinner. mostly eaten with white rice. most people make it with a bit of tomato sauce or tomato paste, a dried season blend called adobo. some people at potatoes to it or other vegetables. I encourage people to look up Puerto Rican corned beef recipes or boricua corned beef recipes.
@GrimAhren carne bif! I like it with mofongo
In 80s Australia, we would call it "canned" corn beef - as opposed to "corned beef" from the butcher or deli which was sliced fresh from large pieces of beef. Mum used to corn our own beef sometimes, not because we needed to store the meat, but because my dad liked the taste. We'd eat the large slices with salad as a cold lunch in the summers, or hot with cauliflower and white sauce in winter. We ate the canned stuff in cadets. My relatives in the Philippines always asked us to bring lots of cans as you said, very popular there.
my army mates call it tuckerbox , i sent many tins to the pines they love it.
Same in the US. I’ve never had canned corned beef, only prepared from scratch at home or in a restaurant.
Back in the early 70's our corned beef came from Uruguary. I was a checker on the docks and back then if you wanted to eat lunch you brought it from home of ate the imported corned beef with a can of pineapple. Those were the days.

I didn't realize canned hash existed, growing up. My mama always fried up sliced potatoes with a can of corned beef mixed in; definitely the premium way to go. I still love it that way.
That’s how my family enjoys their corned beef; fried with sliced potatoes. You can refry or reheat the leftovers with a scrambled or over medium egg making a great breakfast from left over dinner.
When sliced dip in flour and fried , wow, nice with beans and rice.
A. Bit too salty though.
@@sheronrobinson1544 really too salty
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!
This true. A lot of troops sailors etc ended up hating the stuff. They have changed the seasoning somewhat since those days.
I always thought that the 'corned' in corned beef referred to the pepper corns in the brine. Also, I worked in a supermarket deli in the '90's and we sold TONS of canned corned beef which came in enormous rectangular cans. Suprised to hear that it's not that popular here.
Same here
Excellent video, I first started corning beef brisket in the early 70's at a butcher shop. We would fill a 55 gallon drum of brine and cure them 30 days before retail sale. Most deli corn beef now is made from the inside round and is much leaner.
Nothing beats a lean corned beef.
Corned beef in a tin is something different.
@@bodyofhope yeah it's actually cooked in the tin like they do boiled/cooked ham so you end up with natural aspic gels as a binder and the fats. Most of it used to come from Argentina not sure anymore.
I could eat the sliced brisket maybe,but not the corned beef in a trapezoid....
@@kaynuritdinov3055Corned brisket cut is popular for peas soup and stewed peas. Done in addition to some fresh beef. Finger licking.
Stir fry corned beef with a canned corn (use some of the sweet canned corn water!) and onions, serve with sunny side up eggs and hot rice is soooooooo delicious! Have it once in a while though as it's very rich!
Had corned beef sandwich for dinner today, corned beef fritters are lovely.
One word of warning, when you open the can using the key, the edges are the sharpest thing on the planet just get your finger near it and you'll lose it.
I love to sautee some onions, garlic, bell peppers, celery, scotch bonnet peppers than add the corned beef to heat it through than serve it over rice. It's really nice
Chilled in the fridge. Sliced thin and put on lightly toasted bread with Mayo and horse radish sauce😋
My mother always removed the fat from it (easy since it is on the outside of the block) and adds parsley while heating it.
Because it's so salty, nowadays I add small can of sweet corn, tiny cubed tomatoes and cucumber, parsley and powdered onion & garlic while being heated, eaten with flat pita bread. It's healthier and filling, as well as quick
There's nothing healthy about corned beef or canned sweet corn. But it does taste yummy
“Bully beef” with hot white rice seasoned with scotch bonnet peppers,onions,sweeet pepper etc is one of my favorite 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Bro you forgot to mention the most important ingredient.......a cold beer (s)
Easiest sub of MY LIFE!!!!
Incredible rundown.
Now to binge your entire backlog!!
Yeah, corned beef is a beloved staple here. We Filipinos opt for it coz it's meat that is delicious, affordable, ready-to-eat, and can be bought almost anywhere you go. It can also be included into pasta, breads, and even soups, or just straight-up fried with potatoes and onions. You only need a little bit of creativity to have it in any form you like.
You can even use it in cooking Filipino spaghetti if you're under a tight budget.
its poison.. I would not feed this garbage to my dogs.
Canned meat made in the USA is more poison than Canned meats in other countries 💯
@@FuckTheGlobal it lasts years and if you're starving it will save your life. So I always have a few cans.
I think US military personnel traded corned beef rations in return for sexual favors from Philippine women and that is how corned beef caught on in the Philippines like the Polynesian women trading their sexual favors for nails pulled from wooden European sailing ships. 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃

Now I'm craving for corned beef thanks to this video 😁
Very good video surprisingly. I really enjoyed the facts being shared towards the end about the complex truth of nitrites use in foods and natural nitrites.
I learned more in the first minute of this than I learned in most UA-cam videos about things!
I am Jamaican and was delighted to see a local brand featured (Grace), but I had no idea another local brand (Excelsior) made corned beef. They are famous for the crackers with which we had the beef. See 2:20
Yea man...long time now Excelsior have it.
Big up yuhself
Because companies don't vet anything in tins.....they pay to slap their labels on products because it makes MONEY! Whilst, you eat death and decay. Excelsior doesn't make the corned beef, all they do just like Grace, Lasco, Eve etc. etc. is outsource the tinned food and put their labels on it. Tinned food should not be eaten on a regular basis, it is a relic of colonization and WAR. Tinned food is ration food; and people who live on it, are usually nutritionally deficient.
I live in Jamaica and had never seen the Excelsior one..
Even Cal’s make corned beef. It’s the best one in my opinion
@@littisharamcleishanderson5716 I found this brand in a Big Box store in Hammond, Indiana USA
I was born and raised in the Philippines. I always have canned corned beef in my pantry. A quick meal is microwave leftover rice and canned corned beef straight from the can. If there is time to cook I add canned peas, garlic onions and tomatoes.
Not cooking canned corned beef is unheard of in the Philippines. Its practically viewed as sacrilege, not to mention, gross. Imagine consuming lard straight from the can.
@@tombombadilofficial cold lard or suet is admittedly gross, but microwaving it melts the suet over the rice and it's instant meal. Faster than a cup of noodles.
Thoroughly learnt a lot in this video . Thumbs up!
I lived in Puerto Rico where Corned need in a can as well as Spam and Vienna Sausages are still popular. This and tree bark were about all the people in the Caribbean had to eat during WWII when German U-boats prevented ships of food from getting to the island. They still put canned mixed vegetables straight from the can on salads even in nice restaurants.
Tree bark? My grandparents told me that they ate roots like taro, manioc and cassava, when there wasn't anything to eat, they'd cook up the leaves of these same plants in teas and soup. And I haven't seen canned mixed vegs in restaurants since the early nineties.
The truth of canned corned beef is simple. It’s delicious! Of course, I don’t eat it all the time but every now and then I get an unexplainable craving for it. When I do, I gotta have it. It’s versatile and you can pair it with so many other things.
It tastes AMAZING
FYI: Maiz is still called Indian Corn in french in Québec (blé d'Inde).
This history on corned beef AND Libby company was very interesting!
I sometimes (few times a year) cook corned beef (canned) with cabbage softened/sauted in hot pan.
In Puerto Rico we eat it as a main dish. We usually cook it with tomato sauce, sazon, and sometimes we put corn or amarillos (yellow plantain) inside or as a side to the mixture. We serve it with french fries or white rice; sometimes a fried egg is added. Ive also seen it in sanwiches and on top of tostones (green plantain fritters). I cannot stand it lol but its super popular in the island.
It's also sliced very thinly, breaded and fried. Very good with yellow plaintain.
Corned beef was a military ration in Commonwealth armies for well over 100 years. Not a creation of the mid 20th century. My relatives at it in their Canadian military rations in WW1 and WW2.
Typical of Yanks to think their product (SPAM) came first.
Mine too! My Great Uncle's fought in the Cdn. Black Watch and my English Great Uncle in the British Cold Stream Guards.
The favourite food of the Turks at Gallipoli (WW1) was Australian corned beef. After that, it was Australian canned jam (jelly).
Yeah, I thought it strange emphasising a mid 20th century adoption. My great uncle was eating it on the Somme and my great - great uncle, who worked for Fray Bentos in Uruguay, was supplying it to Boer War soldiers long before that.
Yeah, the Filipino style is probably my favourite. But I do have it with a generous serving of canned baked beans and fried onions with canned mushrooms. A good amount of chopped parsley is also nice as it helps with the grease and saltiness.
Very unhealthy to be eaten
Sounds good to me my grandfather and great.grandfather both lived to 106 eating that way.
Better off buying the green giant rice pilaf, I may or not be eating that right now.
Co-Si-Log are called to corned beef+sinangag(fried rice)+itlog(egg) served here in the Philippines. Try it and taste the amazing breakfast to serve! 😊
Diaphragm is what authentic beef fajitas are made from. Most beef diaphragm in the USA is exported to Japan because Japan doesn’t put much import tax on it so it can be sold cheaply to consumers.

in a ounce?

Fantastic history lesson. I absolutely loved it.
An incredibly well researched video. The information on world trade, various religions and politics and social structures. Well done!
Lol palm brand is handed out at Samoan weddings I’ve been to. Kept behind the counter at some grocery stores with the top shelf liquor and the cigarettes. The less minced the corned beef is the more identifiable the muscle meat and the less easy it is to sneak in something weird. The weird stuff doesn’t come in bigger chunks lol
Puerto Rican style consists of diced green peppers & onions (diced potato or sweet plaintain optional). Season with 1 packet of Goya seasoning con culantro y achote. Add 1/8 cup of water. Steamed for 35 minutes at low heat. Serve over white rice 🤤
In Puerto Rico a classic dish made with Corn Beef is Corn Beef with French fries in a pan, mix it, and then serve it with white rice, pink beans and fried sweet plantains, enjoy !
Thank you for such information. I do like an occasional can of corned beef or Spam. Always thought it was a little sketchy. Now I have a better idea. But will keep on eating it once in a while. Btw, it is no longer as of today a super cheap meat option. More like the price of salami or pepperoni. But...still has its uses and unique charm. I'm 73 yo. Hasn't killed me yet! Thanks again for great info.
The stuff in the cans is not intended to be a deli sandwich.
Not the same product.
Try the Aldi's brand hash, best tasting, least salty.
U didn't get a lot o fat? Ya I got grease beef flavoring on 90% taters, I do Agee with the cb there
You should read the article. Of COURSE it’s a different product. The details are interesting.
Very interesting!!! I love canned corned beef but try not to think about the possible ingredients. I also only eat it occasionally, because it has a lot of salt and saturated fat. It would be a great item to put up for hard times if we have a food shortage, in that it has a long shelf life. It is delicious with cabbage, eggs, rice, potatoes, grits, etc. I like to crisp it up with a little oil in an iron skillet. Thanks for sharing!!! I will continue to enjoy corned beef.
Salt and fat are healthy !
It’s a myth that animal fats are bad for you .
I'm diabetic and I eat some can food like corned beef or Vienna sausage to bring my sugar down somewhat quickly ( it's the protein)and plenty of water... 😋 Yum
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.
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.
Love how you show a news broadcast from the Bahamas while speaking of Jamaica 👌🏽.
Very informative thanks. Most of the canned corned beef sold in New Zealand, Australia and the South Pacific still has chunks of whole meat in it such as you mentioned as popular in the Philippines. You can sometimes buy South American canned corned beef but the texture is like a sloppy fine mince and although always significantly cheaper is nowhere near as popular as locally produced brands.
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.
YES!
Interesting, I may try that, thanks for sharing.
A bit similar to 'beef salad', only it adds diced potatoes and carrots, both boiled , to the mix mentioned, and no onion, i will try this next time, with corned beef instead of boiled beef and diced onions instead of potatoes and carrots, it will be an interesting twist of the classic beef salad i know. Cheers
sounds like ham salad, YUCK
That sounds amazing. 🥰
That is plenty of information on corned beef and most I didn't know and I have a can of it in my kitchen now and will buy some more to store for hard times when nothing else is available in the home.
Okay, gonna try this for fun. Just started the vid, before having watched I must say that I LOVE corned beef. A lovely and simple breakfast that me or (more often) my wife makes sometime is a corned beef hash breakfast in which we fry up some small-chopped potato and corn, maybe some onion, and once that's all cooked we toss in the corned beef to fry along with it and mix it all up into a nice hash. Serves us for a breakfast for a couple mornings, often times also a midday meal as well. We have a can of corned beef in the cupboard right now, Mario's corned beef, though personally I prefer to keep stocked on at least two. I wonder if this vid will sway me from my occasional enjoyment of corned beef or inspire me to fry that up that can we have today or tomorrow morning for some breakfasts because it has me craving it. In some sense, I kinda view corned beef as being like SPAM but WAAAAY better. SPAM being cheaper, we have four cans of off-brand spam in the cupboard, handy and easy few meals to simply slice it up and fry it, can have it with some sort of dipping sauce or make sandwiches out of it. But yeah, corned beef is far superior to SPAM in my opinion.
lol 'the beef' part starting at 7:40, personally I really don't much care what part of the animal ends up in "Mystery Meat" so long as it won't cause illness. This morning I had some fried bologna and a friend wiener with some fried diced potato (hashbrowns) and it was lovely. If it won't hurt me, if it's at a decent price, if it tastes nice, I'm quite happy. Price is among the most important factors... well... especially these days. Also shelf stability is highly favorable.
Neat! I was kinda expecting some sort of horror story of some sort or claims that corned beef is primarily made of cow buttholes or something, but nah. Still a big fan of corned beef, I'm gonna buy two cans the next time we do groceries I think! :)
Lovely video! My wife is from Asia and she's a big fan of corned beef and also likes slices of fried SPAM. Oh, and of course, rice lol Lots and lots of rice, even just plain white rice with no soy sauce or anything! Hard for me to fathom, personally. I'd rather have a plain slice of bread than plain white rice, or a slice of buttered bread rather than rice with soy sauce. Fried rice though? Mmm... now THAT'S somethin' worth eating!
Looks So Delicious😋Thanks for sharing this amazing recipe💖
Corned beef with lots of potatoes, garlic, onions, and cabbage (depending on my cravings/mood).
I eat it when I miss the great memories from my country Philippines 🇵🇭 while living in Canada 🇨🇦. ❤️
I'm drooling, thank you 🤤
Excellent video -- great research, perfect narration...I didn't realize there would be so much history and multicultural background to this common food. Great work, folks. Thanks.
You say it is a "common food"...yet I cannot find it here in Chile! Yet South America produces 90% of it ! Why?
A friend whose Grandfather served in WW1 said he had that much tinned meat during the war he refused to eat it for the rest of his life. During the war they had so much of it and hated it so much they used the cans to make paths in the trenches.
4:00 Meat was not a daily staple for the peasantry & small folk in ancient to fairly modern times. This was the case not just in Europe, but also in Asia & the Middle East. Cows (or goats or camels) in a household were valued more for their daily supply of dairy for milk, butter, and cheese. Chickens & ducks were preferred alive for their eggs. Meat would only be eaten several times a week, and on festive occasions.
i grew up on canned corned beef and Spam. I stopped eating it for a long time, but with the way things and prices are now, I've gone back to it. I like to dice mine and cook it with chopped onion and shredded hash browns then eat it with scrambled eggs for breakfast...or lunch. I've also gone back to eating Vienna Sausages. 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.
I'm seventy and had completely forgotten about corned beef. I'm going to buy a couple of cans now, I used to love it as a kid and I'm not afraid to eat it no matter what it's made of.
Get the one that's made in New Zealand mate
@@ripme6616 If I can find it. I'm in Australia and at the moment things are a bit hard to get hold of at the moment.
best tin food to keep as emergency stocks . we were all taught as young children that the tinned food - spaghetti, beans, spam , corned beef, pineapple , beetroot , corn, apples , peaches , pears , cherries , tomatoes, chic peas . here in australia we also have a delicious canned food called Braised Steak and Onions . omg it’s beautiful on buttered toast
I had a corned beef sandwich with mayo on soft white bread every day for lunch in elementary school. By the time lunch rolled around, the flavors melded together just right. Yum! I have not had one for years.
I love spam and corned beef so much I started making it for my kids & they loved it so I now give it to my grandkids ( my grandson loves his spam fried )
Oh wow, it is so cool that you make corned beef homemade and the grandson loves it 😊
@Cindi Richmond I absolutely agree. Fried spam is the best and I keep at least 3-4 cans in my pantry at all times. I also make fried rice with spam and I use it in my rice paper spring rolls with romaine lettuce, green onions and carrots and it is simply delicious. So many ways to use spam. I've smoked some on the outside grill and it was a very tasty treat.
My grandson loves it dipped in egg and flour, then fried.🙂🙂
@@sheilagravely5621 wow I have never tried it like myself that but it sounds delicious
I've sent friends in the Philippines , Hereford Lower Sodium , Ox and Palm and Palm corned beef . It seems that they like the last two brands the most , Australia and New Zealand . I remember in the mid 1990s , Hereford at that time was from Argentina and now Brazil ? Ox and Palm comes in a 6 lb. can and even a bigger size .
Palm from New Zealand is the best!
@@znmnky13 Any meat from NZ is best.
All grass fed
That was surprisingly insightful!
I bought a can of it a few days ago, been raised on the stuff and I still like it unlike a few foods and drink that I was raised on.
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.
We get Mario’s Corned Beef from Brazil (I believe) here in Canada!
I doubt that's true show your work
I'm from Brazil and I've never seen or eaten this in Brazil
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. The Fray Bentos brand, which I think came from Argentina, doesn't seem to be on sale any more. But both versions of Princes still are.
Yeah we love this in the Philippines. It's close to comfort food. I love it especially cooked fried almost crispy with garlic fried rice, fried egg with onions or french fries on the side.
When I lived in S. Korea, Spam was almost viewed as a delicacy! On "Chuesok" (Korea's Thanksgiving holiday) it's probably the most popular gift that people give one another.
I grew up in the 60’s. My mother used the canned corned beef. So I developed a taste for it. Now still eat it occasionally.
Loved the info! thank you so much! And yes I make hash and turn it into a chip beef gravy over biscuits...sometime I just eat it out the can lol. My dad was army!
I worked in the Philippines for a 2 years in the past. I remembered my first breakfast in the Philippines was corned beef with a side of fried eggs and garlic rice. What I also find interesting was that while I was enjoying my corned beef , sitting at the table next to me were a group of Filipino locals, enjoying a bucket of San Miguel Pilsner....at 8 in the morning; I was not expecting it ;)

~I worked with a Phillipino lady and her daughter who told me that her grandfather drinks beer 'instead of' coffee for breakfast in the Philippines. (Here people have a Red Eye Breakfast which consists of tomato juice or Clamato juice added to beer. Also a champagne breakfast.)
~She also told me that school teachers get paid about $500 per month in the Philippines. Here teachers get paid about $4000 to $7000 per month.
They must've been tweaking on meth that's why we have a strong desire to drink beer
@@royjohnson465 Some Filipinos think of getting PhP 350,000 a month, if getting a salary. I always remind of taxes, insurance etc, and they will be spending in dollars.
@kamote ako
$1=P55 your peso value is low. You live at the rate of your own country. Same in the USA. California/New York/ Chicago have high standard of living but if you go to states Indiana, Kentucky, Alabama etc. Their standard of living is less. That's the reason why many Americans especially retired service men moved to the Philippines 🇵🇭 because your $ is worth a thousand folds. Just explaining to others but I know you knew it cuz you're Pinoy. If your just living within your means there you can't afford this corned beef and spam but we have markets with plenty of fresh fish and sea foods. It's expensive in the USA but cheaper in the Philippines. Talaba/oysters just growing by the shores and so are seaweeds. I saw a lot of whale shark meat long ago in the market but now I think the law stopped and prohibit it.
I'd like to write oh my God because those were the same questions I had. Does it have corn and what kind of meat is it? It's great someone finally attempted to answer those questions.
I grew up on canned corned beef for breakfast with eggs and toast or biscuits. I love the stuff...I was a scoutmaster for 20+ years and it went on every camping trip with my scouts.
Corned beef, cabbage and potatoes. With a nice hot mustard and lots of butter. Salt and pepper.
Simple delicious and affordable.
Also made by mom.(it just always tastes better that way.)
Great video, I’m a cook and it’s easy nowadays to forget the importance of food like this. Especially in North American cultures. We tend to turn our noses up to these things.
Going to make it tonight! Thanks for the recipe 👍
Is it best fried ?
I am from Germany, but have been at the SPAM Museum in the US
I grew up on canned corned beef hash with eggs for breakfast but it seems like nowadays it’s greasier than it used to be. When I make it now I wind up having to soak up the extra grease in the pan with paper towels. And yes I accept it may just be my tastes changing.
@D-Ron Jamarkus Robinson None. There's so much oil/fat already it doesn't need it. :P
Its definitely greasier it doesn't even keep its form....it just turns into a wet mess in the pan
@@needleteethguiltfeeder I think different brands must do it differently. Also, in the country I live now, it definitely is greasier or mushier - just can't get it to brown at all!
As someone who is half Puerto Rican and Dominican, I actually like some corned beef with green beans and potato with some rice and avocado. That's the bomb lol. Childhood classic.
