Corned Beef Hash Origin: Where Did Corned Beef Hash Originate From?

There’s isn’t one simple answer to this question, so let’s begin with what hash is in general and where it came from. Hash, a dish consisting of chopped meat, potatoes, and fried onions, has its origins in the United Kingdom. It was essentially a way to use up leftovers, and its name comes from the French verb hacher, which means to mince or chop up.

Hash was being made in the UK as early as the 14th century.

To answer the question ‘where did corned beef hash originate?’, we have to ask when the meat in hash began to be specifically corned beef. Corned beef was a staple for British soldiers during World War I & World War II.

Corned Beed Hash

Due to a shortage of fresh meat during the war, corned beef also became popular back in the home countries of the Allied Forces.

It was not long, therefore, that corned beef began being used to make hash. By World War II, canned corned beef was popular in the U.S., U.K., and in France.

Excuse me, readers, but all the talk of baked beans with a recipe containing corned beef, has me thinking of yet another canned classic.

This time, let’s talk about corned beef Kenya.

A couple of days ago, as I thought about writing this post, I asked my youngest brother if he’d ever eaten corned beef.

Surprisingly, he told me that he had only ever heard about it but had never actually tasted it.

Could this be true? (Did we grow up in the same home?!) Is it possible that there are people out there who have never tasted corned beef?

I remember when I was first introduced to corned beef.

I was very young, possibly even before my baby brother was born (I am trying to believe him).

It was on a day when we’d gone grocery shopping as a family. My Dad picked up a tin of corned beef, seemingly very happy to have found it.

As soon as we got home, we unloaded the groceries. My Dad then grabbed some crackers and a plate and headed off to his favourite green armchair. 

Not about to miss out on whatever was making my Dad seem so happy, we, the kids were right behind him.

My father then carefully opened the can of corned beef (those cans can be lethal I tell you!). He spread some of the beef on a few crackers and gave each of us kids some to taste.

I liked it immediately!

    1. Hi Brazenbites,

      Welcome to ChickAboutTown (all the way from Oregon)! 🙂

      I’ve seen many recipes for corned beef hash on the Internet that include onions and potatoes. The mix of corned beef and potatoes must really be something. I’ll have to try it out some time.

      Thanks for sharing,
      Biche 🙂

  2. kenya meat commission used to make them in the 80s and early 90s,They were infact tastier than imported ones.Used to buy them at AFCO, i think they still sell them

    1. Hi Vladmir,

      Welcome to ChickAboutTown!

      Kenya Meat Commission makes/made good corned beef? Luckily, now that the commission is operational again after being closed for about 15 years, we can hope to see this product back on Nairobi supermarket shelves. I’ll definitely watch out for it.

      Thanks for sharing.

      1. Hi Ngoloma,

        Welcome to Chick About Town!

        Thanks for letting me know that most corned beef in Kenyan supermarkets today is made by KMC. I’ll be sure to pick myself up a tin the next time I am in Kenya.

        Cheers,
