Corned Beef Hash Challenge - Part 5 of 12 - Get Stuffed!

Get Stuffed was a children‘s telly programme a while back, and I harvested this recipe from their website. And it was - as you might expect from a kids’ telly show - fun!

Hi Simon,

Thanks for your message and the courtesy of asking to test the Corned Beef recipe.

Certainly ... go ahead. I'll be interested to see how you get on and (in my opinion) it's a good recipe that should work well.

I'll follow the adventures on your blog. It would be good if you could give a link to our web site at: http://www.getstuffed.info/

btw Last Ditch TV is also in East Anglia. We're based in the middle of Norwich.

best wishes,

Andy

Ease & Effort:

Easy. The recipe tells you exactly how you need to prepare the ingredients. How more specific can you get than “Chop the potato into lumps no bigger than the size of a ping pong ball ” or “chop up the corned beef into bits about the size of a front tooth which has become lost in a pub brawl“. Most excellent fun for kids young and old. All the ingredients are described in similar language, which appeals a lot to me, as much as it is probably intended to appeal to children. It is equally specific in advising the use of a wok, and a lid during cooking. It goes as far as telling you what to do if your wok doesn’t have a lid (does anyone have a lidded wok?). The timings are good, and I “stirred every 4 minutes” for a total of 16 minutes, which gave an excellent result. Score 4.5.

Presentation: 

It looked like it should - mixed together nicely, and with appropriate sized bits. Good. Score 3.5.

Taste:

This recipe combined all the ingredients very well, and I think it’s the best so far. It tastes like a complete recipe, and has the feel of something that has been road-tested a few times. My favourite flavour and texture so far, lovely! Score 4.
