where to get corned beef?

[Guillermo]

i'm looking to make corned beef hash - does anyone know of any delis that sell corned beef? i know you can buy it canned, but I want it "fresh." thanks

Have you heard of Safeway or Co-op? They both have delis where meat is sliced fresh to your specifications.

I know this because I make rueben sandwiches every day of the week.

Couldn't you just buy sliced corned beef and mince it yourself?

not really, its got this ground beef consistency - you'll really just have to try it, the word corned beef should only apply to the canned kind imo , the deli meat kind should be called salt beef or ... jewish deli beef lol

[yeahyeah]

nom nom nom

^^^yea but i don't want the canned shit, I want like a big hunk of it that I can chop myself. i would think that a deli would have it, but i've never seen it at co-op or safeway or whatever.

actually, i have a can of that hereford in my pantry and it's been there for like a year... holding out for the real thing lOL

The 'corned beef' in the deli has different consistency and it won't become ground beef-style; it's too dry to become ground beef.

Also, Palm corned beef>Hereford IMO.

^^yea, but I want it chopped, not ground. (only the canned shit is ground, like dog food is LOL)

Oh. Well in that case, just do what somebody mentioned earlier; ask for a chunk at the deli instead of slices.

You can find it in the frozen section.

Is this what you are looking for?

I've seen similar packaged uncooked corned beef brisket made by Maple Leaf at both Safeway and Sobeys in the meat department.

thanks for the advice, doods. yea, i'm not really sure what i'm looking for, since i've never done it before. i'm just basing this on recipes i see, and awesome (not canned) hash i've had at breakfast places... i've looked at superkmarkets but haven't seen it, but i'll keep trying!

You can get corned beef with the bone in at Co-op, Superstore. It come in a white bucket and labeled "Cured Navel Beef"
We buy this stuff all the time to make Jiggs Dinner....its a Newfie thing lol
