what *is* hash anyway? (the food). it sounds like something gross.

duane, Saturday, 14 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

hash1 (hsh) n. A dish of chopped meat, potatoes, and sometimes vegetables, usually browned.

anthony, Saturday, 14 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Hash - the drug - aka 'solids' (never say 'brown' to a dealer - will think yr talking abt smack) too often the shitty 'soap bar' stuff in UK, normally cut with henna or other shit. So dud. Nice piece of squidgy black charras (sp?) tho', now yr talking. But hash nowhere near as good to smoke in pipe/bong as even mediocre weed. And nothing beats good dutch skunk, imho.

i like hash because you can put it into candy

jack, Saturday, 14 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

oh right like in hash browns, duh. OK those aren't gross, i'd eat that stuff.never say 'brown' to a dealer - will think yr talking abt smackOK I won't.

duane, Saturday, 14 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Andrew, didn't you know that there's a law in the UK dictating that EVERYTHING has to be shitty?

Hash: the potatoes/fried onion/corned beef or sausage mix with an egg cracked on top is CLASSIC. It's one of the six dishes my mother can actually cook.

Hash the drug: megadud unless it's charis, then prepare to kiss yourself goodbye for the duration of your eighth, which is also a bit of a dud if you're in any way activity-orientated.

And is it me, or does hash/spliff usage divide along lines of colour? Green if you're black (well, everyone smokes green, duh) and black if you're white? It's just that NONE of my black friends EVER smoke hash, not even charis.

I will resist the temptation to post an indutrial recipe for corned beef hash but its amazing with lashings and lashings of brown sauce.

Noone I know smokes hash. Most would rather go without than smoke it.

Ed, Saturday, 14 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

My father is lookign for a recipe please post.
Is brown sauce HP

anthony, Saturday, 14 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

"corned beef hash" as cooked by mark s = MOST DISGUSTING THING I HAVE EVER EATEN, SINCE SCHOOL-DINNERS aged 8-12 (where the cook was a dangerously incompetent psychopath). Possibly I have a rubbish recipe.

mark s, Saturday, 14 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

This is the non-industrial recipe from my head.

Peel chop and boil some potatoes with plenty of salt. Chop and fry some onions. Mash the potatoes with plenty of butter, maybe a little milk, add corndebeef and onions, mash together and either just heat though, for a nice sloppy mush, or make into patties, coat in flour and fry and fry. I'm not sure where suzy's egg comes in. You want about four times as much potato as corned beef or there abouts.

HP is a brand of brown sauce but unbranded supermarket stuff or Dadies I think is better for this being much tarter and less rifined that HP. i like to keep a bottle of each handy so I can pick and choose.

It is really good if you add some really strong cheddar into the mix, wchi also helps bind if your going to fry

Ed, Saturday, 14 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I loathe brown sauce, but I think that's a normal American thing.

Mark, you're in the People's Republic Of Hackney, correct? Get thee to Jewish deli, get salt beef, 250g. Dice it up, don't buy the spammy stuff from the shop and make sure the beef has a bit of fat on it. Your boiled potatoes must then be diced, also. Fry onions in butter in a heavy skillet until golden, add potatoes and s/b, and LOTS OF PEPPER. Turn down heat really low and allow the mixture to develop and brown on the bottom a la rösti or hash browns, with cover off. The eggs provide binding and make it easy to divide up if serving friends: press the bowl of spoon into the top of the hash to make a cradle for each egg, then crack egg into each little valley. Dust top with pepper and cover untli the yolks are soft-cooked. Ketchup optional, but on the side.

suzy, Saturday, 14 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

God this sounds heavnly. David is jewish and we eat the food all the time .

anthony, Saturday, 14 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Your version sounds so much more appetising than my WW2 style mush recipe.

Ed, Saturday, 14 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I am THE GASTROPORNOGRAPHER, I have no shame. But the top shelf is of much higher quality in Italy!

Relevant point for the hash thread, I do a lot of my finest work whilst stoned. And Anthony, make sure your corned beef/salt beef isn't the pre-sliced variety. In Britain, when you get salt beef, it's hot, is cut from a massive chunk of it in the shop and is crudely hand-sliced.

suzy, Saturday, 14 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

lots of pepper as in salt'n'pepa — or lots of pepper as in the sometime red/green/ yellow/orange salad item?

mark s, Saturday, 14 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

You've now got me drooling for a big slab of salt beef and mustard from the bakery in brick lane.

Ed, Saturday, 14 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Get that pepper grinder out, Sinker, and make yourself a treat for that rather splendid piece of goss you just uploaded.

suzy, Saturday, 14 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

The truth about being a gastropornographer, Suzy, is if you've ever rewound and drooled over a Jacques Pepin cooking videotape. Which my friends Karen and Chelsea have very specifically done. ;-)

Ned Raggett, Saturday, 14 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Naah, I'm strictly DIY. You're talking about gastrovoyeurism. Schwing!

suzy, Saturday, 14 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

we used to smoke hash through a mate bombilla - anyone who has drunk mate will know what I'm on about (pronouned mah-tay)

Geoff, Saturday, 14 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Hash the drug used to be a big east coast thing, as I recall - some of my friends in Newfoundland used to do hot knives.

Dave M., Saturday, 14 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Ah, but you haven't tasted Karen and Chelsea's cooking. Trust me, it is Goodness. ;-)

Ned Raggett, Saturday, 14 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I have just tried the hash recipe and oh my fucking God, its orgasm worthy.

anthony, Saturday, 14 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Then clearly I am going to ask Suzy to PREPARE A DISH when I am there, as it sounds like she has The Touch.

Ned Raggett, Saturday, 14 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

It's an earnest breakfast food if you don't have to move for the rest of the day. I also enjoy Shit On A Shingle.

JM, Saturday, 14 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

You have no idea how glad I am that you added capitals.

Ned Raggett, Saturday, 14 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

So you know what it is then?

JM, Saturday, 14 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I dont

anthony, Saturday, 14 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Does it involve shit?

duane, Sunday, 15 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

or shingles?

Geoff, Sunday, 15 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

or both

anthony, Sunday, 15 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

It's just bread covered with gravy isn't it? It IS good.

Kris, Sunday, 15 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Mince or sausage gravy, or if you're feeling posh, beef Stroganoff on toast made from NICE bread.

suzy, Sunday, 15 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

why would you ever make toast from horrible bread?

Ed, Monday, 16 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Because you do not want to waste the good stuff. We use the 3 day old stuff to make toast.

anthony, Monday, 16 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

I am am egg adder too - though as the man with the WWII cupboard 9do you know how hard it is to get powdered egg these days) I use my corned beef straight from the tin. You get the extri jelly for a start. With regards to making into patties, I'm a thin flash fryer so I get crispy bits.

As a binding and flavour tip - the whole thing tastes better and binds better if you leave the mash and corned beef mixture in the fridge overnight. That said, what food doesn't taste better after being left in the fridge overnight.

Also the fried egg on top, with lashings of the brown. Hmmm.

Pete, Monday, 16 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Toast from lovely bread with Lurpak dripping off of it is one of life's most simple pleasures. Due to my proximity to Italian shops with good bread and the starch orgasm that is the St John restaurant bakery, I need never lack for same. However, toast from supermarket white slice has its uses and I really can't eat that stuff unless it IS toast.

suzy, Monday, 16 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

Now I can picture where you live I am insanely jealous. All that wonderful meat. (and other amenities)

Ed, Monday, 16 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link
