What nationality is corned beef hash??

Question

regular corned beef is IRISH

Answer 1

To make a "hash" of something is an English term for either messing up a situation, or just throwing something together. Corned beef hash is one of those "throw together" dishes. It has its roots in Colonial America, when corned beef was an important staple because it was preserved.

People extended dishes and made the most of what they had, so cooking the end pieces of the corned beef with diced potatoes made sense when feeding a large family. The recipe appeared in the Fannie Farmer Cookbook in 1918, although it had been popular along the railroad lines and on chuckwagons for years before.

To make corned beef hash, a cook begins by chopping the corned beef into small cubes, or by breaking up the canned meat. The cook then dices a medium onion and if he likes shredded potato, grates a couple of raw ones. Otherwise, he cubes two or three medium potatoes and sets them to cook (only if they are cubed). When the potatoes are done, he mixes them with the corned beef, onion and seasonings like salt, pepper, dry mustard and garlic, to taste. He breaks an egg into this mixture and puts it into a non-stick skillet and fries the hash until all is crispy and brown. Some brave souls top the corned beef hash with a fried egg and serve it with toast. Others serve it with pancakes, waffles or with scrambled eggs on the side.

Russian

Answer 5

The Oxford English Dictionary traced the term "corned beef" to 1621 and the item seems to be from Ireland in the 1100's.  So corned beef hash which essentially extends a small amount of meat by adding potatoes and onions probaby dates from then and there.

Answer 6

Pretty sure it leans to the Irish.   Oh! by the way in reference to the

Cornish  pastries, that is PASTIES not pastries.

Answer 7

Out here in the philippines, the G.I.s brought a lot of corned beef during the liberation from the Japanese.  Thus the name "Liberation breakfast" which is very Filipino with Corned Beef Hash, Fried Egg and Fried Rice.  

But in the final analysis, it's one of those preserved meat which is not really very healthy.

Answer 8

regular corned beef is not Irish. It was invented in the US, and it was mostly consumed by Irish Americans and Jewish Americans. Salt and spices (and beef for that matter) were too expensive in Ireland, so corned beef was definitely not an affordable/popular dish.

Corned beef hash is definitely Irish-American dish

Answer 9

I always thought it was British dish especially from the North.
