I’m ready to cook a delicious piece of meat. He’s ready to open a can. I cooked corned beef for him one year with some roasted potatoes and he politely ate a couple bites but says he really doesn’t like corned beef. Then the next day he brought out a can of… this… with a bag of frozen O’brian potato bits and said this is the corned beef and potatoes he likes. I love the little psycho, so I’ll stomach it for the night.

That stuff is still better than the canned hamburger from the post on Sunday.
Well, make the good boy his tinned dinner and see if he’s ready for belly scratches after I guess.
make the good shit for yourself girl!!! have your two irish dinners next to each other lol
Both are acceptable.
I’m not a huge fan of the canned corn beef, but I will say I prefer like kraft Mac & cheese to real Mac & cheese, but that’s what my brain wants it to taste like. So I kind of get it.
At least what he likes is easy 😂
Make the fancy stuff for yourself and open the can of cat food for him
That’s not “corned beef” on the left. Look at all that seasoning, look at all that color. That’s a pastrami, not classic corned beef
Am I pedantic? Yes
* St. Paddy’s
I would demolish both
He just misses his mom/grandma.
Throw some cholula, cilantro, and Cotija on it and call it street-corn beef.
My ancestors are upset with me.
I actually relate to this because I’ve had corned beef hash homemade before and like, it’s fine; but I want the greasy lardbomb in a can stuff I had as a kid. It’s a nostalgic taste.
My mom used to buy the canned stuff cheap. Scrambled it up in a skillet and make a little gravy. It was pretty damn good spooned over rice or mashed potatoes.
Nothing beats home-cooked, slow-simmered corned beef & cabbage, but I must admit I also adore greasy diner corned beef hash. They scratch different itches.
My manager ordered 15 corned briskets for 200ppl across 3 camps
We got 5
I have 2 briskets ready
His idea is from childhood, poor but full of nostalgia
Yall are too harsh on the poor can of beef XD
Both are tasty when made right.
I had a similar situation with my current partner. Early onin the relationship, she said she loves cabbage and ham. So I did a sautéed cabbage side with rasher bits and some nuts, then a ham slowly cooked in cider, cloves etc and glazed with honey eventually. I was actually pretty happy with the result but I’ll never forget the look of disappointment on her face.
She likes cabbage boiled in just water, maybe salt, and a boiled ham, no “added fancy shit”. It’s her comfort food from childhood.
And that’s absolutely fair enough, I get that, but man I can’t bring myself to do it too often. At least now I know though.
I grew up in an east coast Canadian household so you will understand my shock when my Caribbean friends served me corn beef/bully beef
I had this misunderstanding with my American ladyfriend. Said she was making corned beef at a family BBQ. Corned beef, to me, as a Brit, comes in a tin. And is bought by people of pervious generations. It soon became clear we weren’t on the same page when I asked how the hell do you even make that stuff?
A pastrami and corned beef hash…
You’re obviously right here but nice of you to not clown him. Many people haven’t had a corned beef brisket and don’t know about it. Corned beef hash is obviously not the same product; it’s chopped up cooked corned beef mixed with potatoes. It’s kinda like saying that roast chicken is the same as the chicken soup you make out of the leftovers the next day.
The second one is good for sandwiches while fishing with your grandma. Ask me how I know. 🥰
Have you ever grilled it? Life changing.
Yes you are not the same as the Irish would use the canned corned beef.
The Americans use the other one
Cornbread hash from a can is almost always better than any “scratch made” cornbeef hash ive had.
When we were first married, my wife decided to surprise me one day. She knew I liked Reuben sandwiches, so she bought me one of those tins of corned beef and a loaf of cocktail rye bread. (It was a nice little surprise…)
What an amateur! Corned beef hash already has the potatoes in it! Is he going to open a can AND make potatoes?
For corned beef hash or a corned beef and piccalilli sandwich id use the right one all day long, but for a nice hearty pot au feu type stewy thing id use the left.
Different horses etc.
As an Irish man and chef I love both of those versions!!
The tinned version at 2am in a nice sandwich with coleslaw and a pack of Tayto crisps!! 🇮🇪
The Jewish connection (from Google):
Corned beef and cabbage is an Irish-American, not traditional Irish, staple born from early 20th-century New York, where Irish immigrants lived near Jewish neighbors. Irish residents in areas like the Lower East Side purchased salt-cured brisket from Jewish delis, replacing their traditional pork bacon with this familiar, affordable, and salty alternative.
Key Connections & Origins
Immigrant Proximity: In late 19th and early 20th-century American cities, Jewish and Irish immigrants lived in adjacent, low-income neighborhoods.
The Kosher Butcher Connection: Irish immigrants frequently bought meat from local Jewish butchers, where brisket was a popular item.
Replacing Bacon: In Ireland, the traditional dish was bacon and cabbage. In America, corned beef served as a similar, salty, and tender alternative to their pork-based comfort food.
Jewish Deli Influence: Jewish delis and butchers made and sold the salt-cured beef brisket that Irish residents embraced
Ok but while we’re here, has anyone actually tried the one on the right and how terrible was it?
In Puerto Rico, [this is how we do with canned corned beef](https://latinamommeals.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Puerto-Rican-corned-Beef-24-of-25-683×1024.jpg).
Our family would make it would homemade french fries and throw it in at the last minute and mix all around.
We are not the same.
Is he Caribbean? I’m Jamaican and whenever we had cornbeef and cabbage, it was the one of the right with steamed cabbage. One of my favorite meals!
I bet his definition of roast beef and yours is different as well.
Both are acceptable for different situations.
I’m not making a fully braised brisket for corned beef hash. The canned stuff will work for that just fine
If you make both, you’ll have soooo much corned beef breakfast hash for the next few days. I think it’s even better with the sweeter bits of cabbage and carrot cooked up in it. I love this week.
