: : Corned Beef : :
It all started from Josh’s posting on his new panini grill. It got me thinking of the tinned corned beef which I haven’t had in a LONG LONG LONG time. Come to think about it, it’s been months since I last had it. Well, Uncle Cyril, surprisingly, bought a tin of it today so ask Granny if we can have it for lunch.
This is the corned beef that is eaten widely by children, students and young people living on their own who do not really like cooking but who have to eat! I don’t particularly like the other tinned corned beef found in supermarket shelves. They just don’t taste the same as this one from China.
Hmmm…not exactly nutritious ingredients in there, especially with the sodium nitrate. Wow! Packed under Government Inspection in China. Hmm… wonder what that means?
The tin nor the packaging has not changed for the last 27 yrs that I’ve known it. Opening it is still the old-fashioned way of winding it with the key. Opening up the tin, I found the meat to be much softer than it used to be. Hmmm…
The finished product. Granny stir-fried it with a big onion and an egg. She regretted not putting in more onion to make it sweeter. Ah well, I’m not complaining. Went very well with rice and bread.
