Sometimes I love that Herford brand stuff. Mrs dimes pal from Jamaica calls it Bully Beef because of the bull on the can.

This corned beef pie keeps sounding better and better.

Go on.

Llama, Simple Simon is pretty good. Sometimes we get them frozen at Co-op.

I have a U,K, forces magazine from the desert campaign in WWII. The rations those guys got were often (apparently) almost entirely tins of corned beef. The cartoon on the cover says "Everything's just Bully!"


The rest of the pie-making process is fairly simple. pastry base, blind-baked, and a lid (added later). The contents of the pie is just the corned beef, parboiled potatoes (about 2 parts of beef to one of potato), a little chopped raw onion, just a little chopped garlic (that's my addition to the pie - Aunt Glenys wasn't fond of garlic, but I put it in almost anything) and a little dried parsley (not fresh, 'cos it goes soggy). Bake it and eat it hot or cold (I prefer cold). Branston pickle or any chutney really goes well with this. Glenys used to make her own .

It works pretty well with canned corned beef (tbh that's what I'll use most times), but is hugely better with home-made.

Sadly, and related to this. I just discovered that Gary Rhodes is dead.

Any time I cook with parsley it's dried.

They stopped doing it and I never really noticed when, a sprig of fresh parsley on top of the meat used to be quite common here.

Today I had salmon topped with Nasturtiums for the first time. Looked beautiful, but the taste was unspectacular.

Nasturtium?

Off to google..

Nasturtium?

Off to google..

It's the new fad in haute cuisine.

Ah.

They look nice, I wish I planted them in my flower bed.

I put wild flower seed in there but nothing happened. After a while I had my daughter put in a type of daisies, they seem to be sprouting.

Aren't they what you cast when you spread nasty rumours?
