Corned beef is nearly £8 a tin here in Thailand. It is a luxury item. I'm currently out of piccallilli so my favourite butty is off the menu.

Hmmmm, £2 here, £8 there.

How many tins could you get in a suitcase?

A despicable act that may result in more folk buying corned beef. Horrendous stuff.

Anyone purchasing it should be shot.

I've just suggested corned beef hash for tea and my Mrs has accepted with joyous look on her face. Bob around for some if you like - to say thanks for the cake! 😁

Minger!

What's wrong with a bit of skirt, or shoulder, mixed together even as stewing beef!

Or a richer, darker shin beef casserole (carrots allowed).

Anyway, we're having duck! I'm a bit concerned as it's sort of Chinese.

Your mixing your Corona viruses up with your avian flu because I don't think your duck, even cooked in Chinese five spice, will be anything like Chinese. 

If it says corn fed there's a chance it may have a yellow tinge to its pallor.

Well he's (sure it's a him) a gressingham duck, so he's not Chinese.

But the stuff my lad wants to rub on it could well be. So it could contain anything.

I shall check later.

Recently got some shin beef. Never (knowingly) had it before. Wow - very tasty

Proper corned beef that’s been freshly made is utterly delicious.

Never had it but I am going to try it, sounds like a perfect slow cooker cut.

Not every butcher seems to have it available but should be able to order it.

Always seems to be available in the market though.

Trouble is, slowly, with more cookery programmes, some of these lesser used cuts are coming back, and the prices are going up a bit.

Still good value though; sprinkle with seasoned flour, brown off and slow cook.

Wrap it in caul fat and brown it off before you then slow cook it helps it keep its shape and also adds an extra bit of flavor and juiciness

If they butcher their own beef then of course they'll have it. Which butcher do you buy from?

It's from the hind & fore quarters.

Plenty don't because it doesn't shift as quickly as other cuts.

Whether they use it with other cuts in stewing beef or send it elsewhere I don't know.

I think more should have it available, but it's a business decision for them ultimately.

The butcher I use mostly, sells ox hearts, venison and veal, sometimes flat rib for example. Again, not available everywhere.

Anyway Ox cheek pisses on shin of beef 

Hmm. Braised some a while back, preferred shin to be honest. I felt the of cheek retained a bit more of a grainy texture.

Get ox hearts for the dogs: tried a bit and it's ok, couldn't eat a lot though as I found it a bit rich and somewhere between beef and liver. Can't stand liver.

Did a lamb rump the other week too. Lovely.

Each to their own.
