For a long time, I could not eat corned beef hash. It didn't matter if the beef came from cows that grazed on organic greens in the dewy fields at the base of the Himalayas and the potatoes were handpicked by Thomas Keller himself from his own backyard. I wouldn't be able to eat it because I had been traumatized by corned beef hash from a Spam-like can throughout my childhood. You know what I'm talking about. Hormel Corned Beef Hash looks ,and smells, disturbingly like Alpo.
But, I many be cured of some such scarring after seeing this photo of homemade corned beef hash as prepared by Mae Gabriel of food blog Rice and Noodles. Though I am not a huge rice fan, I love how the juices from the hash are seeping down through the rice. Very sexy -- and to think it's corned beef hash!

Gee, I thought she was American! Anyway, I love corned beef. Whole birsket corned beef, not the stuff in the can. I make my own hash from grated potatoes and sliced corned beef. I almost always eat my corned beef on toast with a fried or scrambled egg.
Don't even think about trying to feed me cabbage with my corned beef. It definitely will not fly, except the short trip out the window or into the garbage.
I like my corned beef fresh and hot. Served in slices the first time, in hash from leftovers. Done. Next subject please.

i, too, suffered from the trauma of hormel hash for many years until one day i was taken to a local eatery (http://www.rickandanns.com/info.html) and discovered what hash could be! red flannel hash (with red beets, sweet potatoes, new potatoes, red onion and bacon) and yukon hash (sweet & white potatoes, sweet bell peppers, corn and apples)... oh, how i miss the west coast!
but this does look sexy...

My husband and I love hash and eggs for Sunday brunch, I make my own and buy the corned beef from the grocery deli and mince it in the cuisinart. I even found the secret to making it crusty thanks to Julia Child. My husband won't let me used the canned stuff anymore
