I started work in 1978 and I got corned beef on my piece for a year solid before I asked my old mam if she couldn't maybe change it.  She did, she added brown sauce.

Posh c#nt......😂😂

I well remember nutritious, wholesome meals made with cheap cuts of meat like lamb lap or ribs, ham shank, belly pork, ( yes, it was a cheap cut at one time !) scrag end, neck end, oxtail, etc. N

Not long ago I asked the butcher if he had any lamb lap or scrag end; he didn’t know what I was talking about, now lamb lap is “ rolled breast”, and scrag end is “neck joint or neck chops”.

Bon Apetit.

Scrag end or neck is one of the most flaversome cuts. Used to give to the dogs, now I make the most tasty meals from bone cuts. Venison shank is up there with my favs at the mo, makes a wicked gravey. These bone cut are big business on the chefy front, pure flavour. Scrag end isn't a cheap cut anymore. I cooked a neck fillet from one of our lambs once on the fire. though as, but also tasty as.

 

Regarding the original post, Corn Beef. Although I've eaten a sandwich from time to time and also a few West Indian numbers. I have never had it in my childhood home and have never bought a can.

I should broaden my horizons on the War food front 😁

That just reminded me of the aftermath of the Gulf wars.

When the British and Americans pulled out they left behind an unbelievable amount of kit.

We managed to get hold of a container of British RatPacks and one of American MRE’s.

The British meals were, in my mind , far superior to the Yanks.

One item was incredibly popular with us was the tins of Bacon Grill, usually unobtainable in the Middle East for obvious reasons, and commanded a big premium if it was sold, but me and the family lived for months off the stuff ! LOL !

Cheers.

Rabbit used to be a cheap meat, not now, last ones I saw in a butchers were £11 each !

Chicken is still relatively cheap and a chicken stew made in the slow cooker is a great meal, as is ham broth.

But I guess most people today would rather have a burger or a KFC than preparing vegetables and cooking a meal, nothing wrong with that, but I enjoy catching, growing, cooking and eating my own food.

Bon Apetit.

The more educated my palate has gotten, the more I like the deeper flavours of the meat. Marrow, connective tissue, cartlidge, fats, etc etc.

Shame you're not about, I've got pretty smart with the ol smoked produce. Christmas orders have increased year on year. I don't advertise at all, couldn't deal with the amount of work it would generate.

The marrow is better than the steak oftentimes.
