Corned Beef (or Bully Beef in my Jamaican household) was the best food every when I was a child, which is weird considering how when my mum was growing up it was their "oh poo poo, we have no real food and 11 mouths to feed" (my mum has a large family). Easy to cook, pretty filling, and kind of tasty. It does look like poo poo, though, and before this thread it never occurred to me that you could make it without canned beef! edit: For reference here's what it would roughly look like!  So, yeah, dog vomit with rice and onions. MLKQUOTEMACHINE has a new favorite as of 20:09 on Mar 30, 2013 |

UK corned beef is completely different from US corned beef. The former is ground meat in a can, and the latter is pastrami without cracked black pepper.

Corned beef hash is the ground up hangover cure in a can, if you get corned beef it's pastrami without the pepper. Usually a bit thicker slices. Any decent deli has it.

Well, in the UK, corned beef is the stuff in the can, corned beef hash is when you mix said ground up stuff in the can with potatoes.

What the hell are you guy's going on about? Corned beef, also known as silverside in Australia is a big chunk of salted beef that you cook in a pot of water with herbs and stuff. Once it's done, you slice it and have it with steamed veggies, potatoes and white sauce or mustard. Gherkins and sauerkraut also go well with it.

I hate to admit it, but even though I have been working in restaurants for years and I'm completely capable of making my own, high-quality corned beef hash (or basically loving anything) from scratch... I still kinda like the canned dogfood variety. I blame my dad.

European Corned beef is poo poo in a can, probably mechanically separated pieces of beef with blobs of animal fat pressed into a can form. Aussie/North American Corned beef is a great piece of slow cooked meat that comes off one piece like you described. I don't know what it looks like elsewhere in the world. So there's a bit of confusion.

I've been kind of interested in getting a really high-quality piece of fatty corned beef, grinding it up in a meat grinder, adding diced potatoes, and seeing if it's anywhere near as addictive as the canned stuff. If it worked well, it'd be like one of those $30 imitations of a fast food burger with dry-aged short rib instead of chuck.

I supose people have stronger reactions to things they actually have first-hand experience with. Anyway, here are two F+ podcasts about horrible recipes (links to recipes provided, but some have been deleted / changed), featuring lots of ranch dressing, Ranch Dressing and Other Delights I Can't Believe It's Entirely Butter! My favourites are probably "Kookie Cookies" aka corn chips drenched in corn syrup (sic) and warmed-up peanut butter. Alternatively, "ribs for kids", a recipe that employs layers of taste-numbing agents to hide that there are in fact no ribs to be found, only wieners.

Corned beef...gently caress you all for reminding me that poo poo exists. I can remember the taste, the smell, fried with cabbage and carrots, drowned in pepper.... But for a happy food memory, this is one of my favorite dishes, and why I was(am) a fat child:  Jamaican rice porridge. Basically a bowl of carbs, but it was SO good, and SUPER filling (1 bowl is all you need). Seriously, it is literally starch soup but it completely goes against the usual empty carbs=hunger that every other lovely sugar food follows. When I was a kid, I'd put water crackers in it (standard), but I mainly put in maple syrup (which got more than a few chuckles). One time I put in chocolate malt balls and was in heaven. So yes, I added sugar to a bowl of rice, flour, and condensed milk, and now pay for it in gym fees. But gently caress it, I'm making some tomorrow to make up for not having any Easter bun (which is delicious and pretty and so does not belong here).

Canadians cutting themselves over someone not liking poutine over 10 pages ago 2. People getting grossed out over pretty mundane (in the States) dishes they didn't like when they were 6 3. Pictures of fast food monstrosities 4. Being horrified by the strange and arcane things Norwegians do to fish. This is the cycle. It cannot be unbroken. Since we're here on #2...  Kraft mac and cheese w/ ketchup. Nothing quite brings out the taste of what's barely above canned nacho cheese sauce like vinegar and tomato. I'll never understand the obsession with Ketchup on everything. Acute Grill has a new favorite as of 02:04 on Mar 31, 2013 |

 Never tried Chinese century eggs but I remember Ashens tried one that had gone bad even by the standards of preserved duck eggs and that's good enough for me. (I presume actual century eggs are good if you have strong taste buds). Sex Beef 2.0 has a new favorite as of 02:26 on Mar 31, 2013 |

Kalos posted:2. People getting grossed out over pretty mundane (in the States) dishes they didn't like when they were 6 For me personally it's not so much that they're mundane, which they definitely are, but that they're bland dishes and lazy cooking. Sure a tater tot casserole may kinda look like a Shepherds Pie and that may have been the idea but it doesn't take much more effort to actually make a Shepherds Pie. The same goes for macaroni and cheese or Hamburger Helper or any of these other convenience foods. You put just a little bit of effort into it and you can come up with something that's significantly better.

I don't see why people are getting so up in arms about cheap, low effort food. Yeah, it's awful and has zero nutritional value, but it makes you less hungry, and when you're from a dirt poor family living in a dirt poor home working 16 hours a day just to keep your quality of life, any warm sensation in your stomach is good. I've lived on ketchup and value rice since college, and only now am I barely solvent enough to purchase real food every now and again. Sometimes you just put something like ketchup or whatever in food just to pretend that you're eating something different than tasteless rice for the millionth time. Ketchup is a luxury at that point.

They're actually pretty tasteless. The "whites" are basically gelatin, and the "yolk" tastes like... I dunno. Something. Umami natural gas? But it's definitely not enough flavour to be yucky. I usually just swallow the chunks of it in my congee whole.

RentCavalier posted:Crabs have far unhealthier diets than spiders, being scavengers and carrion-eaters as opposed to active hunters and predators. Both creatures have long, articulated legs, come in a variety of freakish shapes and sizes...most people just find crabs alien, while spiders they find unsettling. On the other hand, if you eat a spider, then maybe that spider had just eaten a breakfast of flies. Flies which had just been eating dog poo poo. So you're literally eating dog poo poo.

Which is why many people who grew up poor, when and if they end up not poor, go nuts and get fat. I get what you guys are saying, but I think you're adding meaning where there isn't any; terrible food like tater tot hotdish et al. don't necessarily have anything to do with economic status. The whole 2 going on 3 generations of cooking out cookbooks published to sell prepackaged products have normalized a lot of these dishes unless the chef of the household makes a good bit of effort to add some variety. Since you mention food from the south, I'm going to throw this out there LIVERMUSH!    I think scrapple was posted upthread, and this is a pretty similar regional (more or less carolinas as far as I know) variation: pork, pork liver, cornmeal, spices in a grind about as coarse as cornmeal and pressed into a block. Nutritionally it's actually not that bad for you compared to other breakfast meats except the typical preparation involves frying in butter like that first photo, ick. If the offal content doesn't put you off, the fact that it comes in a dense medium grey block and never gets any better looking qualifies it for the thread. And like any regional food, it gets fetishized, especially in places that don't have anything else to have a party about.  I suspect healthy anti-food porn is going to involve boneless skinless chicken breast somehow.
