Bob Jude I‘ve called ‘em ,but they trade under “Geordie Recipes“. It’s a bit much to claim CBH, and many other dishes (including bread & butter pudding and toad in the hole) as being Geordie, but let’s forgive them that. This is a homely website with a feeling of real enthusiasm, and some of the other recipes look worth a try.

Did We Get Permission?
Of course we did! And Bob & Jude replied: “Hi, Simon, HelloSure Feel Free, out of interest, the most popular recipe for feedback on the site seems to be pease pudding one where bacon is used. All so far trying that one say this is excellent and think to drop a line, it was sent from an elderly lady as an alternate way to make pease pudding.The corned beef hash recipe is even nicer when using an organic turnip and parsnips.Its quite filling and excellent for warming kids and grown ups on any winter dayYou could have just used that freely with our blessing, you'll enjoy your self we're sure.RegardsBob & Jude“

Ease & Effort:
Way to vague. This is pretty much another Chop & Chuck recipe, complete with the less-than-detailed instructions we’ve known to love but more usually dislike. For a start the ingredients are in imperial measures, which are foreign even for a forty-one year old like me. I had to place the veg into the scales in the shop to get the right amount. As for “sliced” potatoes and carrots - is there a difference? Guidance would have been useful. And is “chopped” onion any different in size to “sliced” carrot? At least the cooking times were well defined. Score 2.
Presentation:
It looks like a stew, not the hash that it probably should - which is more than likely down to the imprecise preparation instructions. When the recipe says “cover with stock” and later “remove lid to brown the top”…..well….how do you brown the still-full stock? It’s look is possibly one of the worst in the competition so far. Sloppy beyond measure. Score 1.5.
Taste:
Quite nice. It was mainly individual bits of carrot, potato, onion and CB, but it still tasted quite nice. For a Chop & Chuck, the longer cooking time helped a lot, and although not mixed well together, the separate bits were rather tasty. If only there’d been some instruction to mix or fold or combine or…..you get the idea. Score 3.
