everyone in my family calls me crazy for my favorite corned beef hash. I have just forwarded this video to them all as you have given me validation. Libby's has and always will be the best. Thank You!
Palm is also very popular in the Philippines although it is an imported brand and more expensive. The consistency is more of shredded meat than ground mush which is what Filipino corned beef is like.
@@tommys2077 Conrned Beef and Taro in coconut cream bro. I love it. haha I eat that here is Sydney, but my aussie mates turn their nose up at it. One of my English mates said "I wont feed that to my dog." I said " YOU FUCKIN BETTER NOT!!" hahaha I hide spam and corned beef in her bed she throws them at me...hahaha Its good stuff bro.
I like corned beef. Tried most of them. Like them all. Its not a steak. Its canned corned beef. Always good with eggs and toast. Was fun to watch. Great video
i love canned corned beef. imo it is a very underrated food. i mean i get why people love Bacon, and i do as well, but i think corned beef deserves to be up there too.
You mentioned Argentina corned beef which is a Filipino brand but it's not remotely the best corned beef in the Philippines. That distinction goes to Purefoods corned beef. Like other local corned beef brands in the Philippines, the consistency is not as mushy like in Libby's or Hereford. Here the consistency is more meaty like shredded pastrami and has a lot more juice. Purefoods has that and overall better flavor and meatiness. A close second is Delimondo. Argentina is considered of lower quality here, a more affordable, cheaper option.
Philippine dish, fry lots garlic chopped, then add 2 onions chopped. Finally when they have melted, add a can of cornbreef until it breaks down then add tomatoes chopped 3 to 4, cook until all breaks down to a nice chunky sauce, if gets too dry add water. put on top of rice and enjoy. I add hot sauce and a dash of maggi seasoning on top and mix
I've never noticed much difference between brands here in the UK. These days they all seem to be from Brazil and are good quality. I much prefer them chilled rather than warmed up.
I'm sitting in Sydney right now, I live here. Never heard of Ox & Palm corned beef. When I was at sea on the ocean liners it was well known that Australian corned beef came way down the list of desirability. Having eaten corned beef for nigh on 80 years I can say that cold is best. Hot only with potatoes, never on its own. Tinned corned beef is not salt junk, the sea term for corned beef, which is basically salt pumped (pickled) or just salted beef, which is better than tinned if one wants hot food. Though both tinned and salt junk are great cold.
Hellaby's corned beef (reduced fat) has been our favourite brand for over 50 years. We love slabs of it on buttered white bread (or toast) with Watties tomato sauce and slices of red onion, all washed down with a hot cup of Twinings English Breakfast tea....just delicious! Cheers from Aotearoa New Zealand.
Yes I grew up eating libbys corned beef on white bread with a good smear of mayo...cold or hot, it was great! I haven't eaten it in years but after watching this video I'm going out tomorrow and buy a dozen cans just to have it on hand in case I get the urge for a Libby corned beef sammich and wash it down with an ice cold pabst blue ribbon beer! (Probably at 3 a.m.)
Hereford is the best! Stick in the fridge before opening because that makes it easier to remove from the can and slice. I love it cold in a sandwich even if it's the only thing in the sandwich with mustard or Mayo depending on your taste.
Found Hereford varies wildly can to can. Sometimes it is really good, other times it.would make a hotdog sick. If they could work that out it could be great.
I'll agree wholeheartedly with Libby's canned corned beef being the best. But, at $7.99 a can, it's definitely a treat. I haven't tried libby's hash, though. I usually go with Brookdale from Aldi for both hash and corned beef. i also like mary kitchen and Meijer's store brand. I had some of the Meijer's hash mixed with a little bit of the Libby's corned beef for lunch and it was excellent. i want to try some of the brands they listed on here that I've never heard of like Grace and Jamaican country Style. I've never seen them in the stores so I guess I'll have to shop the Net for them.
When I was very poor I used to buy this stuff that was canned in Brazil and cost only $2/lb. It did not taste like corned beef, it was very fishy. I called it "corned fish". I would get two weeks out of a can, just a little bit in a bowl of rice
Love Libby's Corned Beef!!! My Dad loved it since WWII. With diced potatoes and onions with toast and eggs fried or scrambled. Just perfect. I do it myself as an occasional treat.. 😋😋😋😋❤❤❤❤
I buy Hormel's Mary Kitchens or Libby's. And I'd have to say that both are good. I generally stick to these two brands because I am familiar with their consistency in taste. I learned at an early age that bargain brands do not do well when it comes to corned beef. But, I will say that I have an Aldi's up the block from me and I will give Brookdale a try. I like it cooked crispy with 3 eggs over the top with OJ for breakfast or Pepsi for lunch or dinner.
In terms of corned beef hash, you missed Mary Kitchen, which is very good. The only corned beef I can find here in the wasteland of NW CT is Libby's, but the last can was disappointing. I will have to check out the Aldi brand, but our local store is currently featuring mostly empty shelves. Very useful video.
Worth to try in your review the Phillippine-made Delimondo Ranch Style Corned Beef. Good to know a Philippine brand Argentina Corned Beef made it to your list. In the 80's there is another good tasting Philippine made corned beef, the Rodeo Corned Beef, not sure if it is still available coz I haven't seen them in the grocery shelves anymore.
My favorite brand of Corned Beef is Libby's, bar none. I enjoy it skillet-fried to a crisp, with some sauteed onions and minced garlic served on top of a bed of steamed white rice. This is what I call a Filipino man's idea of comfort food. Yummy! 😋🌽🍚🐄❤️
@@Aztec339 And what about thick or thin cut sliced Corned Beef with Swiss cheese, Sauerkraut and Russian or Thousand Island dressing? A classic Ruben sandwich on toasted Rye bread. Yummy! 🤔😋♥️
i'm happy that a philippine brand made it to your list but there are two other brands that are at par if not better than your choice and these are purefoods and delimonde.
I love Corned Beef Hash and eggs and so when I was in Aldi I bought the Brookdale Corned Beef Hash ($1.59/15oz can). I was not prepared for what happened next. I decided to make corned beef hash and eggs for breakfast the next day however, when I opened the can of Brookdale brand I was turned off. It was gray making me think air had gotten into the can. I emptied the whole can onto a plate and it was pink and gray. I took a picture and went to Aldi and showed the manager. He gave me another can to replace the one I opened however, two days later when I opened the can, the same! This was shocking as it is made by Hormel. So, I have been forced to go back to the expensive Mary Kitchen Hash ($2.99/15oz can), made by Hormel.
Eeeek! Glad I've never had that happen. but it does make some sense that you might get a bad can. After all, most store brands are usually the cast offs of prominent name brands...inferior or second batches, I'm guessing. but yeah, that would definitely turn me off.
Definitely Hormel! I love both Corned Beef and corned beef hash. I love slices of Hormel Corned Beef on toast. It is a fantastic sandwich room temperature. However, I prefer hash warmed and sometimes with a little ketchup or Catalina dressing for a slight kick in flavor. I keep an extra key to unwind Corned Beef cans as sometimes in storage at home, I occasionally have lost one. I refrigerate leftover Corned Beef, but occasionally warm it in the microwave to all most room temperature. Libby brand is second best in flavor. Corned Beef is a fast, quick meal with little fuss or mus! ❤
I'm a Filipino, and considering Argentina as a good corned beef is mind-boggling. It's the worst corned beef I have ever tasted. It's too salty, too watery, and the actual texture of this brand is remotely far from what I would expect from a good corned beef.
Bought some at SM, immediately regretted buying for the price. Disgusting soggy mush and it even had pieces of bone. I'll stick with libby and hereford from now on.
Libby's corned beef and Mary Kitchen hash have been standards in our household for years. I like both of them frazzled well in a frying pan, and when I want to give my arteries a workout, I fry them with bacon. Salty but tasty!
The Clover Valley version of SPAM is great too. A tad less salty and we think better flavored. My wife had nightshade allergies, which includes potatoes. SPAM has potato starch in it. CV does not. Got a great deal on some cabbage at the local (small) grocery and there is a Dollar General just up the hill. I'll have to grab some of the CV Corned Beef if they have some. I've found quite a few of the Clover Valley branded foods are pretty good.
Ox and Palm recall was a technical importation issue- the importer into USA did not submit cans to FDA for inspection- they sent them on to retailers. Ox and Palm is an excellent product. Way better than the usual crap on the shelves and well worth the money. At the Asian stores you can get 1/2 size cans which are very handy
can't believe argentina made it on the list. It does taste good but i'd put it in 3rd place . I prefer Delimondo - garlic and chili). But I'm still happy that it's here.
In my just over 60 years of life in Canada I have never known any canned corned beef other than Hereford. I realise there are other brands but I and my family have only bought Hereford for as far back as I can remember. Nice to see it ranking so high on this list, but I already knew it was good.
Non Jamaican? Jamaica is not the only country in the Caribbean. We all eat corn beef. Yes I’m shocked they’re even talking about it. 😁. I usually get Libby’s. I’m gonna try Grace.
@@joanneclegg939 , Grace is a excellent brand.. Libby’s is second for me…If available, try any of the other Grace products (eg.) pepper sauce,ketchup,spices,can Ackee,can coconut milk & powdered , just too many to list. Anything with a Grace label is very good. Not familiar with the Jamaican Country Style brand. Never had or seen there products.They might be based out of Miami,Florida, started in the 1980s. I left Jamaica 🇯🇲 in the 1980s. Eat on my fellow foodie!😊
Locally I can get Hormel Mary Kitchen and Libby's Corned Beef Hash but I've found that at Smart and Final stores I can get their store brand First Street Corned Beef Hash. The flavor is really good and it's less fatty than the other two I mention here. And it's about $1 less per can.
I haven't eating canned corned beef for decades, but in my days in Hawaii, Libby's was the best. It was a product of Argentina. Sweet onions, poi and Libby's corned beef was " da bomb".
I buy my corned beef at the Dollar General Store. Their Clover Valley brand is a product of Brazil, and tastes really good. Cooked beef, beef, salt, sugar and sodium nitrate. I just hope that the second ingredient is cooked too.
In France, most of the time I can only find Hereford brand Corned Beef and it's good. Sometime Exeter one can be found because they make a halal version. I just checked my pantry and I only have an unbranded can of corned beef, simply labeled "corned beef". I bought it from Lidl or a discount store, I can't really remember, but I checked the back and it was made in France by Covi SAS... the parent company of Hereford. But in the end, corned beef is not really popular in France.
I have tried the blind taste test between Libby's, Hereford, and Walmart. All three have an identical stamp on the metal top which states it's a product of Brazil and contains the same identifying information, product and official inspection numbers. They taste the same to me and have the same texture. Save your money next time and buy the best priced of what you find on the shelf the day you're looking for it. Oh, and if you're making your own hash with it try substituting boiled turnip root for the potatoes. Uhm good.
The SIF stamp on The cans means Federal Inspection Service - (Serviço de Inspeção Federal) , and its mandatory for all The food producers to stamp it on products here in Brazil. Note that The only thing that Will change is The number on this stamp that refers to the company code.
Ox&Palm on rice with egg is one of my wife's favorites. She is Phillipina and grew up eating corned beef. I prefer crisp corned beef loaf, only really available around St. Pattie's Day.
OX & PALM is made by Heinz Australia. The red label round squat cans are quite good and chunky style. The "squarish" cans Americans are used to are like the video says, but I do find them better than the Brazilian and other South American brands.
Here in the Philippines, "Virginia" brand is most popular -- because customers consider COST and TASTE. If money is no object, "Purefoods" -- which has the Hormel license -- is the best local brand. Purefoods also sells "Chunky Corned Beef", a low-cost but high flavor product. Canned CB is sold by every store -- BUT -- FRESH CB is very difficult to find in the supermarkets. Purefoods Chunky CB is what I buy, even if I can easily afford the imported Hereford and Libby brands.
As a kid in the Fifties, and teen in the Sixties here in Western Canada, by far my favourite was Boston Corned Beef from Australia. It was common where I lived then. Disappeared from the radar some time between 1966 and 1988... not sure why. I loved the texture and the taste. No brand today matches it. Anyone have a clue what happened to it? Wish it was still available, unchanged.
Tried dozens of major brands worldwide, but I think the one I tried in my vacation in the Philippines is the best one… Purefoods, more pricey here in the States but it’s worth it…
Essentially you told me what I have always believed, Corn beef should come in nice big slices with cabbage and boiled potatoes and beer on St. Patty's Day or between two pieces of rye bread, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and thousand island dressing or horseradish. It should not be run through a meat grinder with potatoes and added gunk looking and tasting like dog food by any company.
I moved from Calif. to the Philippines 2010. Canned corned beef wasn't very big in Calif. but here in the Philippians it's one of the most common foods. I haven't tried Argentina, maybe I should, but my favorite has been Virginia, but Pure Foods was also good.
Waiting for Palm to take top spot, but it’s not even on the list despite being mentioned in this channel’s video on the history of corned beef. They’ve done the world a great disservice by omitting this fantastic product, much loved in Oceania. It has real strands of beef and eats nicely hot or cold! 👍🏻
In the UK, although less in number of brands mentioned here all the brands are pretty good. corned beef sandwhich with english mustard spread on it, yum
As for Exeter, they'd also changed the label to a more modern version, complete with an illustration of the meat content. The copycats hadn't gotten the menu though.
I like to use southern style frozen hash potatoes. Melt butter in a skillet (to taste, it's your hash), add diced onions if you like and sauté until the color changes a little. Add your amount of potatoes and let the frost cook off. Add your corned beef in small chunks. I like black pepper in mine too. Once I add the corned beef I kind of fold over to warm, rather than mixing and stirring. If that makes sense. Eggs plated with it are always a nice added touch of protein!
If you do your research you'll find most of those including Libbys and Great Value at Walmart are from Brazil. They are in the same Can and have the exact same stamp on the bottom of the can. Over 90% of canned corned beef is made in Brazil.
That's my understanding of the situation too.... But...Pray tell, how come I cannot find Corned Beef in Chile...."Just down the road" from Brazil? When their product is widely known all around the world?
The SIF stamp on The cans means Federal Inspection Service - (Serviço de Inspeção Federal) , and its mandatory for all The food producers to stamp it on products here in Brazil. Note that The only thing that Will change is The number on this stamp that refers to the company code.
Corned beef even if cooked from corned or salted brisket does have a certain amount of beef fat. If cooking with canned corn beef the main error is adding to much of additional oils when cooking with onions and cabbage. Chilling a can before opening to eat straight out of a can is another tip, as the excess fat can be isolated. Before spam from the US was made available in WW2 the main canned meet supplied to British and Commonwealth troops as combat rations was corned beef. The bully beef and biscuit (Hard tack in thinned biscuit style) was a field ration staple along with what ever was available plus the ubiquitous vitamin C tablets.
Swift brand corn beef from Dollar General Stores, that is made in Brazil, is the closest thing I found to the chunk style corned beef that I grew up with in the 50s and 60s.
Crown brand from Australia is the best! Can be found in Asian markets. As for corned beef in the Philippines, I find Delimundo, American and Purefoods to be the best ones in the market.
Hamper brand Australian made corned beef is the best I have ever tasted. It is in a yellow tin for anyone in oz. I have tryed every other brand that is available in Australia and they are all well a let down and made in Brazil.
My good fellow you nailed it!! My self has been consuming Libby’s corned beef since about 1937, and today I still By it by the case. I do have one minor comment, the suggestion that Spam doesn’t compare. Spam is Spam corned beef is corned beef. During WW2, Spam was a very welcome item on the table, it all depends on the preparation . I also buy Spam by the case, you either like it or you don’t.
The Aldi one is definitely the best value in my area the taste is great too warmed up with sure thyme, fresh tomatoes and rice, man it’s so good, my Jamaican family loves this as a quick protein packed meal! Eat in moderation though it’s pretty salty and filled with fat.
For real, i already had a clue the review was coming from someone that doesn't know what good canned corned beef is, especially after she said Libby's is good,🤣
Ox and Palm, Palm, are my top favorites. Both have more beef fat than the other brands, but since I love beef fat, it is no problem for me. I personally would not trade these 2 brands for any other brand/brands...but to each his own.
It is unfortunate that this blog deals in product largely available East of the Rockies and Mississipi River Confusing too is that most of the cans are products of Brazil; further there is a difference between corned beef hash and corned beef in a can and why they are grouped together is not especially helpful as there are other brannds of corned beef available; I have two different ones in my pantry
I live in Toronto. You can get most of these corned beef brands in the grocery stores here (you might need find the appropriate ethnically oriented store). Funnily enough, in 50 years I have never seen Libby's corned beef. Hereford and Grace are quite common. Hereford is my favourite from when I was a kid.
I never knew corned beef came in a can until I moved to the Philippines. In Oregon it comes as real brisket and is in a plastic bag in the meat section of the stores. You can take it home, slow cook it with your veggies (or no veggies) and slice it with a knife. It's better than any of the canned stuff ever thought of being.
I haven't eaten Corned Beef for quite some time because of the Price in our Area. Libby's is $6.00 a Can! .... I'm going to try the Aldi's Brand that you rated Highly .... It's got to be Cheaper!
I tried Ox and Palm corned beef, discovered I'd bought a can of fat, threw it out (all six cans of the bilge). My personal favorite is Hereford's low sodium version. I hate salty food, particularly meat, so this is perfect.
Which brand is your favorite?
Palm Corned Beef ~ Product of New Zealand!
Puefoods Corned beef, product of the Philippines, available in some Asian stores in the U.S.
Suicides
Hereford, by a long shot.
🏆Oxt & Palm 🐂 when fried with onion 🌰🥘 with eggs 🥚 Sunnyside up 🍳 combination so delicious . 😋🐂🥘🍳🍞🍚🍶👍🏆🌏🌎🌍🌐

You missed out the brand PaLM. That is the best it actually has chunks of beef in the can. Its popular in the Pacific Islands, NZ and australia.
Palm is also very popular in the Philippines although it is an imported brand and more expensive. The consistency is more of shredded meat than ground mush which is what Filipino corned beef is like.
Agreed. Palm should be on this list.
Definitely a favorite here in Hawaii

Stop making issues, if Argentina Corn Beef is chosen? So be it. Why comparing with Pure Food's because you are paid by the company?
Thank goodness somebody spoke out and represented the Pearl of the Orient Seas; agreed with everything you replied. Thanks for replying.
Sorry, Delimondo is #1, hands down
Exactly true...
Yes Hormel, Mary Kitchen corned beef hash is my favorite. Add a little, pepper a bit of Lee & Perins but must’ve hot

True. It's only super affordable that's why a lot of Filipinos are buying it but when it comes to taste, it's not a legit corned beef for me.
I thought the same thing when she said that too. It's easily the worst corned beef I've had.
Bought some at SM, immediately regretted buying for the price. Disgusting soggy mush and it even had pieces of bone. I'll stick with libby and hereford from now on.
You are so right! Ty
Purefoods corned beef still the best
Libby's corned beef and Mary Kitchen hash have been standards in our household for years. I like both of them frazzled well in a frying pan, and when I want to give my arteries a workout, I fry them with bacon. Salty but tasty!
I Love Libby's brand Corned Beef, I and onions and potatoes and I Sunnyside eggs. Delicious for breakfast!!
I make m.y own hash add par boiled potatoes and onions with Sunnyside up eggs
Clover Valley (Dollar General brand) is great with cabbage... add some bacon to make it out of the world. Underwood's is good on sandwiches too.
The Clover Valley version of SPAM is great too. A tad less salty and we think better flavored. My wife had nightshade allergies, which includes potatoes. SPAM has potato starch in it. CV does not. Got a great deal on some cabbage at the local (small) grocery and there is a Dollar General just up the hill. I'll have to grab some of the CV Corned Beef if they have some. I've found quite a few of the Clover Valley branded foods are pretty good.
I grew up eating Libby's corned beef and so far I tried other brands as well. Agree with the #1 but my #2 is Purefoods corned beef.
Ox and Palm recall was a technical importation issue- the importer into USA did not submit cans to FDA for inspection- they sent them on to retailers. Ox and Palm is an excellent product. Way better than the usual crap on the shelves and well worth the money. At the Asian stores you can get 1/2 size cans which are very handy
can't believe argentina made it on the list. It does taste good but i'd put it in 3rd place . I prefer Delimondo - garlic and chili). But I'm still happy that it's here.
Goya has a very strong moral compass, and their quality reflects that. Didn't know that had corned beef but I will buy it.
Goya supports trump, no thanks
@@barbarajohnson3876 Trump knows about meat, memba "Trump Steaks" he's also fat, so he must know something.
In my just over 60 years of life in Canada I have never known any canned corned beef other than Hereford. I realise there are other brands but I and my family have only bought Hereford for as far back as I can remember. Nice to see it ranking so high on this list, but I already knew it was good.
As a Jamaican I am shocked to hear anyone that is non Jamaican talk about bully beef! The absolute best brand is hereford then Grace
You are right but l find hormel to be better than grace
Eve is better . Grace is too fatty. Its like pottted meat
Here in Trinidad I love rainbow cornbeef
Non Jamaican? Jamaica is not the only country in the Caribbean. We all eat corn beef. Yes I’m shocked they’re even talking about it. 😁. I usually get Libby’s. I’m gonna try Grace.
@@joanneclegg939 , Grace is a excellent brand.. Libby’s is second for me…If available, try any of the other Grace products (eg.) pepper sauce,ketchup,spices,can Ackee,can coconut milk & powdered , just too many to list. Anything with a Grace label is very good. Not familiar with the Jamaican Country Style brand. Never had or seen there products.They might be based out of Miami,Florida, started in the 1980s. I left Jamaica 🇯🇲 in the 1980s. Eat on my fellow foodie!😊
🥰🥰🥰 My favorite corned beef is Hampers, but I have tried Hydale from Aldis. Reg from QLD Australia.
Aldi's Brookdale corned beef hash is great with eggs on toast. Next best Mary Kitchen corned beef hash is excellent too but nearly costs twice.
Locally I can get Hormel Mary Kitchen and Libby's Corned Beef Hash but I've found that at Smart and Final stores I can get their store brand First Street Corned Beef Hash. The flavor is really good and it's less fatty than the other two I mention here. And it's about $1 less per can.
I haven't eating canned corned beef for decades, but in my days in Hawaii, Libby's was the best. It was a product of Argentina. Sweet onions, poi and Libby's corned beef was " da bomb".
Libby is what I eat
Was it from Argentina? Im from Argentina and you wont find such product here, maybe all of the production is exported but that would be weird.
@@Coyote27981 This was before 1950. Libby's shifted to Made in Brazil some years later.
Thanks So Much 😍
I will save you time. Libby’s is hands down the best. Been eating it for years.
How do you prepare it?
I buy my corned beef at the Dollar General Store. Their Clover Valley brand is a product of Brazil, and tastes really good. Cooked beef, beef, salt, sugar and sodium nitrate. I just hope that the second ingredient is cooked too.
In France, most of the time I can only find Hereford brand Corned Beef and it's good. Sometime Exeter one can be found because they make a halal version.
I just checked my pantry and I only have an unbranded can of corned beef, simply labeled "corned beef". I bought it from Lidl or a discount store, I can't really remember, but I checked the back and it was made in France by Covi SAS... the parent company of Hereford. But in the end, corned beef is not really popular in France.
Thank you for this video
ALDI’s Brookdale brand is really good and it’s a lot less expensive than Libby’s.
I have tried the blind taste test between Libby's, Hereford, and Walmart. All three have an identical stamp on the metal top which states it's a product of Brazil and contains the same identifying information, product and official inspection numbers. They taste the same to me and have the same texture. Save your money next time and buy the best priced of what you find on the shelf the day you're looking for it. Oh, and if you're making your own hash with it try substituting boiled turnip root for the potatoes. Uhm good.
The SIF stamp on The cans means Federal Inspection Service - (Serviço de Inspeção Federal) , and its mandatory for all The food producers to stamp it on products here in Brazil. Note that The only thing that Will change is The number on this stamp that refers to the company code.
Ox&Palm on rice with egg is one of my wife's favorites. She is Phillipina and grew up eating corned beef. I prefer crisp corned beef loaf, only really available around St. Pattie's Day.
Hereford is sold at Dollar General and is way cheaper than most brands you displayed. I’m trying it with my cabbage tonight, hope it turns out good
I don't think you can go wrong with Hereford. I just love it !!!
OX & PALM is made by Heinz Australia. The red label round squat cans are quite good and chunky style. The "squarish" cans Americans are used to are like the video says, but I do find them better than the Brazilian and other South American brands.
MIGHT be made BY Heinz Australia, but it's not made IN Oz! Only sold in PNG, so my guess is made IN PNG, from Aussie meat!
Here in the Philippines, "Virginia" brand is most popular -- because customers consider COST and TASTE. If money is no object, "Purefoods" -- which has the Hormel license -- is the best local brand. Purefoods also sells "Chunky Corned Beef", a low-cost but high flavor product. Canned CB is sold by every store -- BUT -- FRESH CB is very difficult to find in the supermarkets. Purefoods Chunky CB is what I buy, even if I can easily afford the imported Hereford and Libby brands.
As a kid in the Fifties, and teen in the Sixties here in Western Canada, by far my favourite was Boston Corned Beef from Australia. It was common where I lived then. Disappeared from the radar some time between 1966 and 1988... not sure why. I loved the texture and the taste. No brand today matches it. Anyone have a clue what happened to it? Wish it was still available, unchanged.
I really appreciate throwing in Joel from MST for a quick "It Stinks" lol
Tried dozens of major brands worldwide, but I think the one I tried in my vacation in the Philippines is the best one… Purefoods, more pricey here in the States but it’s worth it…
Very nice to see Grace cornbeef here. Jamaican cornbeef is top tier stuff
Essentially you told me what I have always believed, Corn beef should come in nice big slices with cabbage and boiled potatoes and beer on St. Patty's Day or between two pieces of rye bread, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and thousand island dressing or horseradish. It should not be run through a meat grinder with potatoes and added gunk looking and tasting like dog food by any company.
Moms fav Libbys. 3 generations later & still #1 ruler!🇺🇸 Glad y'all think so too 🙏
I moved from Calif. to the Philippines 2010. Canned corned beef wasn't very big in Calif. but here in the Philippians it's one of the most common foods. I haven't tried Argentina, maybe I should, but my favorite has been Virginia, but Pure Foods was also good.
Also try Deli Mundo
Canned corned beef was always available in CA. Still is, you must have lived in a very remote area not to have seen it readily available.
does Argentins still produce corned beef from its own cattle?
I just had Brookdale
cornbeef 🌽 🍖 yesterday from Aldi wow dam good😋👍 going back for more
I love Libby's corned beef hash
Waiting for Palm to take top spot, but it’s not even on the list despite being mentioned in this channel’s video on the history of corned beef. They’ve done the world a great disservice by omitting this fantastic product, much loved in Oceania. It has real strands of beef and eats nicely hot or cold! 👍🏻
you had a pod people segment. that was my favorite segment. bees on pie burning rubber tires.
The Underwood spread is like a salt toothpaste, and I would choose the mythical toothpaste!!
Verygood
You lost me at Libbys. And I can’t believe Palm and Delimondo weren’t on the list. Clearly this list needs to be updated
In the UK, although less in number of brands mentioned here all the brands are pretty good. corned beef sandwhich with english mustard spread on it, yum
As for Exeter, they'd also changed the label to a more modern version, complete with an illustration of the meat content. The copycats hadn't gotten the menu though.
I use it to make homemade hash. I can of corned beef , 1/2 an onion and 1 can of spring potatoes. Season to taste.
I like to use southern style frozen hash potatoes. Melt butter in a skillet (to taste, it's your hash), add diced onions if you like and sauté until the color changes a little. Add your amount of potatoes and let the frost cook off. Add your corned beef in small chunks. I like black pepper in mine too. Once I add the corned beef I kind of fold over to warm, rather than mixing and stirring. If that makes sense. Eggs plated with it are always a nice added touch of protein!
If you do your research you'll find most of those including Libbys and Great Value at Walmart are from Brazil. They are in the same Can and have the exact same stamp on the bottom of the can. Over 90% of canned corned beef is made in Brazil.
That's my understanding of the situation too.... But...Pray tell, how come I cannot find Corned Beef in Chile...."Just down the road" from Brazil?
When their product is widely known all around the world?
The SIF stamp on The cans means Federal Inspection Service - (Serviço de Inspeção Federal) , and its mandatory for all The food producers to stamp it on products here in Brazil. Note that The only thing that Will change is The number on this stamp that refers to the company code.
Corned beef even if cooked from corned or salted brisket does have a certain amount of beef fat. If cooking with canned corn beef the main error is adding to much of additional oils when cooking with onions and cabbage. Chilling a can before opening to eat straight out of a can is another tip, as the excess fat can be isolated. Before spam from the US was made available in WW2 the main canned meet supplied to British and Commonwealth troops as combat rations was corned beef. The bully beef and biscuit (Hard tack in thinned biscuit style) was a field ration staple along with what ever was available plus the ubiquitous vitamin C tablets.
Ox& palm are the best canned corned beef ever!!
Swift brand corn beef from Dollar General Stores, that is made in Brazil, is the closest thing I found to the chunk style corned beef that I grew up with in the 50s and 60s.
PALM corned beef is the best tasting corned beef there is...it's from New Zealand.
Crown brand from Australia is the best! Can be found in Asian markets. As for corned beef in the Philippines, I find Delimundo, American and Purefoods to be the best ones in the market.
Hamper brand Australian made corned beef is the best I have ever tasted. It is in a yellow tin for anyone in oz. I have tryed every other brand that is available in Australia and they are all well a let down and made in Brazil.
Ooohh yesss!! Australian brand Hamper is my favorite and by far the best👍. I used to like Palm but Hamper took it to another level for me😋
Agree with Hereford and Libby's. My go to brands when it comes to corned beef once in a while. :)
Purefoods corned beef from the Philippines is the best corned beef I’ve ever had, it can be bought at some Asian stores in the U.S. 👍👍
Stop crying..let the content alone.
I like Purefoods corned beef and Del Mundo corned beef.. they taste better than any other corned beef i tried.
The only one I know is Hereford. It's the only one we get. I live in Canada
It's the best.
Grace is also in Canada, Great value too.
We have Exeter in Canada as well .
Really good to know thank you
My good fellow you nailed it!! My self has been consuming Libby’s corned beef since about 1937, and today I still By it by the case.
I do have one minor comment, the suggestion that Spam doesn’t compare. Spam is Spam corned beef is corned beef. During WW2, Spam was a very welcome item on the table, it all depends on the preparation . I also buy Spam by the case, you either like it or you don’t.
The Aldi one is definitely the best value in my area the taste is great too warmed up with sure thyme, fresh tomatoes and rice, man it’s so good, my Jamaican family loves this as a quick protein packed meal! Eat in moderation though it’s pretty salty and filled with fat.
Ox and Palm...grassfed...fatty? Not a good corned beef? Ox and Palm is exactly what you should be eating!
Said the Filipino that works for ox and palm!
@@HandlewearyI wish I worked there... I'd be getting a discount! Everything is so expensive now...
When you make these videos you need to tell what area of the country you are in. I've only seen about 20% of what you are showing.
🏆Ox & Palm are my favorite corned beef 🐂 and it's pretty expensive and are so delicious with fried onion 🌰 🥘 with eggs 🥚 Sunnyside up 🍳.😋🥘🍳🍞🍚👍
For real, i already had a clue the review was coming from someone that doesn't know what good canned corned beef is, especially after she said Libby's is good,🤣
It's a luxury here in Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬 Super expensive but people still buy it 😁
Well done. Thank you.
Ox and Palm, Palm, are my top favorites. Both have more beef fat than the other brands, but since I love beef fat, it is no problem for me. I personally would not trade these 2 brands for any other brand/brands...but to each his own.
It is unfortunate that this blog deals in product largely available East of the Rockies and Mississipi River Confusing too is that most of the cans are products of Brazil; further there is a difference between corned beef hash and corned beef in a can and why they are grouped together is not especially helpful as there are other brannds of corned beef available; I have two different ones in my pantry
I like the Libby's Roast beef hash. Once I bought a can of corned beef hash and it had the taste buds of the cow's tongue still on it.
I live in Toronto. You can get most of these corned beef brands in the grocery stores here (you might need find the appropriate ethnically oriented store).
Funnily enough, in 50 years I have never seen Libby's corned beef.
Hereford and Grace are quite common.
Hereford is my favourite from when I was a kid.
Funny that, ‘cause at that time in Canada you could buy Libby’s baked beans and a host of other canned items.
Mmmmm Libbys beans!
I never knew corned beef came in a can until I moved to the Philippines. In Oregon it comes as real brisket and is in a plastic bag in the meat section of the stores. You can take it home, slow cook it with your veggies (or no veggies) and slice it with a knife. It's better than any of the canned stuff ever thought of being.
Mmm can't go wrong with corned beef on rye
I haven't eaten Corned Beef for quite some time because of the Price in our Area. Libby's is $6.00 a Can! .... I'm going to try the Aldi's Brand that you rated Highly .... It's got to be Cheaper!
I tried Ox and Palm corned beef, discovered I'd bought a can of fat, threw it out (all six cans of the bilge). My personal favorite is Hereford's low sodium version. I hate salty food, particularly meat, so this is perfect.
A Can of lipos whole shiat
Herfoord is the best
Delimondo and Purefoods Corned Beef brands. These two should be ranked as among the world's best.
I like, fatty, grass fed, corned beef.
