    Nothing wrong with that meal at all. Love a good corned beef and potato. Hell, there's been a lonely Christmas morning once where it was a can of spam and a shot of Jäger before.

    I'd recommend every household to cook from "rations" with camping or other auxiliary equipment at least yearly, simply to keep on top of the process. The world is an uncertain place, but knowing you can do it rain or shine helps keep a clear head. Greets from Finland!

    i still cook corned beef this way. something my late grandmother used to make.. because it can be quite salty, i eat it with rice. i also add in onions and spice it up with some dried chili.

      I do something similar, except I add chopped pickles instead of chili. One of those delicious, easy meals you can do without any fresh components.

    Perfect meal in combat when you are not getting artillery. Dirt on your corned beef and potatoes would really suck. I still cook this with first cooking with chopped garlic and onions first in with fat from the can, then the diced potatoes until kind of brown, then add the corned or bully beef, add water from your canteen and simmer till the potatoes tender. Thank God I didn't experience this as my great grandfather did in France in 1917. Today I wonder why canned corned beef became so expensive when back then it was considered a poor mans food or a combat ration? I don't think even poor people of today would even consider eating this??? For me I love it!!!

    • @TheLurker1647
      @TheLurker1647 Рік тому +4

      Yes, sad fact that it's so expensive now. Could get it early pandemic days, but now it's out of reach. Almost all beef is, unless you can find a sale. Even beans are hard on the wallet now. My grandfather wouldn't eat beans after the Second, said he'd had enough beans for a lifetime.

    Ty for this video. I made this the other night but modernized it a bit to get a sense of what they would of ate in the trenches as I am filming a period piece movie as the writer and director that takes place in the 1900s-late 1920s. It turned out good but I used beef stock in mine and Instead of HP sauce I used the American equivalent Worchester. It was delish but I cant see myself eating this all the time.
    in my Recipe, I used 3 potatoes, 1 onion, a small bag of Carrots, Beef stock, salt, pepper, Libbys canned corned beef, beef stock and Worchester Sauce. It was very delish and had an interesting variation of flavors

      You are irrationally angry about someone just enjoying a hobby and sharing it with others. It’s not a child’s costume you have no clue what you’re talking about. If that’s you in the videos on your channel then it’s truly sad you’re this old and choose to spend your time being so critical of younger people who enjoy a hobby like this.
