Never has a single chef had two entries in a 2-Sox challenge. That‘s now changed, as “Baby“ James Martin sees his second version of CBH hit the cooker.
Track Record?
You know this already, but,
Scrambled Egg - Winner! Out of 6.
Welsh Rarebit - 6th out of 6.
Poached Egg - 11th out of 12.
Did We Get Permission?
I asked - no reply. Game on.

There’s no photo online, sorry.
Ease & Effort:
Slice your onion. Slice your garlic. Fry them until golden brown. Perfectly clear. “Cut the corned beef” means the default 1cm cubes. When James says “cook a little” I randomly chose a five minute stretch. All good so far. It’s even easy to put the mixture into the oven. One point needs addressing. The online recipe claims to “serve 4” yet only suggests frying two eggs - half a fried egg each? That’s mean! Score 3.5.
Presentation:
It didn’t really look like CBH. It didn’t look nasty either. But as this is a CBH test, this loses points for presentation, even when you fry the egg as superbly as I did. And. Do NOT touch the cooking pot, whatever you use - it‘s HOT and it WILL burn you. Not that I did this, oh no. Score 2.5.
Taste:
Delicious. No other way to describe BJ’s second pop at the CBH crown. But where are the potatoes James? And why is it called, ridiculously, “Beefcake Hash”? It’s very tasty. Score 4.
