Corned beef hash - A provisioning question
Ahhh....the smell of hot, greasy corned beef hash wafting up from the
galley into the cockpit full of nearly-green-faced passengers in a rolling sea. This means I'll get a bigger ration, tonight! Glenn, you ARE a naughty boy! I forget, with corned beef hash do we serve the white, the red or the Mateus Rose' ??

I got turned on to corned beef hash by the skipper of my last delivery and thought I might bring along a couple of cans for the next run in November. I finally found a couple of cans in the local grocery but it is different. What we had on the boat was shredded and had pretty good flavor. This stuff was ground and bland. What is corned beef hash supposed to look like and what brands are better than others? -- Glenn Ashmore I'm building a 45' cutter in strip/composite.

Corned beef hash - A provisioning question
Like I said Larry, We don't eat a lot of it down hea' but them Yankees
have a nack for making it taste pretty good. OTOH, their grits suck. ;-) It could have been the diet on the 10 day passage that made them taste so good. The skipper was from New Jersey and I think he got to keep the excess expense allowance. After 6 days of bologna, Denty Moore and Hormel chili that corned beef hash tasted great! I did manage to sneak some rib eyes and a bag of MatchLite on board and the last night I broke down and fired up the Magma. On a beam reach in the 20 knot Trades that was an adventure in itself. At least I didn't loose any meat overboard.

OTOH, their grits suck. ;-) After my ex and I got married, she took me on a "vacation" to NJ to show me to her family. Make a note - Visiting ANYONE's family does NOT a vacation make! In NW NJ, we passed through one of the towns ending in "ville", there are thousands. It was early and we wanted breakfast, so stopped by this nice looking, but ancient, silver diner right out of a 1950's movie. My stepdaughter, who was 7 and a Charleston girl through and through, baffled the waitress ordering eggs and grits and toast. Noone in the restaurant, we later found out, had never SEEN grits. (She actually wanted SHRIMP and grits, but she figured we were too far from the ocean in NW NJ out of season.) All was not lost...... To satisfy Amanda, and knowing the scarcity of decent Southern delicacies in Yankeeland, Loretta, my ex, had packed Quaker Instant Grits in the vast array of stock in the car. Having retrieve somethign the entire town had never seen before, amazed Quaker Oats would keep such a delicacy from their local stores by diverting its entire output to the South, she asked the waitress for some really hot water. Instant isn't good, but it's better'n NONE! We could see from the look on the waitress and cook's faces they were very curious about these aliens and their unusual diets, so we offered them all a bowl of genuine GRITS from our stash, praying they wouldn't report us to the NJ State Attorney for possession of contraband...... We were clean out of state by the time any repercussions from polluting rural New Jersey addicting them to new food sources. The cook owned the restaurant and actually seemed to like them, at least wanting to experiment with them. He promised me grits would be on the menu when we came back to his "ville" diner. If you ever see grits on the menu in New Jersey, please don't report us. I'm afraid to cross the state line, still. No telling how much it spread by now. That was in 1984. I'm carrying a bushel of Okra on my next trip Nawth......(c; THAT should just wreak real havoc! I'll stay off the Jersey Turnpike. Our pictures are probably in every toll booth! Y'all boys stop by.....We'll drop the crab trap off the end of the finger pier and have some lunch. What do live blue crabs sell for in Manhattan?....?? Damned things are crawlin' up the pontoons on the docks, here. Larry Extremely intelligent life must exist in the universe. You can tell because they never tried to contact us. |

Damned things are crawlin' up the pontoons on the docks, here. Here in Maryland the crabs are scarce. They're getting $200 a bushel for non-Bay crabs and $32 a pound for picked crab meat. As for the crabs climbing up the pontoons. You may be having a dead sea condition where the algae uses up all the dissolved oxygen. that is unless you're just funnin' us. We've had several large fish kills here on the bay this year and instances of the crabs coming out of the water gasping for air. See: http://www.cbf.org Joe Wood |

The crabs are great. They come up the pontoons over where the free
divers clean their fish to check out the cleanup...(c; The free divers always feed 'em dumping all the guts and stuff back into the river. Best crabbin' in the neighborhood right under that cleaning sink. The crabbers whos traps are out in the river will sell them to you out of the boat for $3/pound, here. At $200/pound, it'd be a tidy business to buy 'em in Charleston and truck them to Maryland! I'll tell the boys in the boat next time I see them....(c; The shrimper at the roadside truck is getting $2.50/pound, heads on. (Great boiled peanuts for $1.25/pound, too!).....

You guys are killing me. I love the stuff, fresh made or canned, but
had to stop eating it after I had a stroke and started to read the cholesterol content on the cans, WOW! I do cheat if I go north and can get it fresh made. Ron |

Damn! You just reminded me. In 1957 my father was transfered to Hickam AFB in Hawaii. We boarded a USN transport ship in San Francisco for the trip over. As we bounced out the evening meal the first day was: as the starter watery Split Pea Soup (beautiful green stuff that sloshed around in the bowl), with a main course of greasy baked Pork Chop, it lay on the plate congealing in the liquid. Who said those swabbies didn't have a sense of humor. :-) -- Tip the world over on its side and everything loose will land in Los Angeles. -- Frank Lloyd Wright |
