Ok, another culinary thread..

Now I work in an office in Tarn where most of My colleagues are from all over South and West Yorkshire ( yes even Hemsworth) Now when I was asked what I liked on my pancakes I said Corned Beef Hash, much to the astonishment of my work colleagues even those from Tarn. They seemed to be of the opinion that pancakes were a sweet thing rather than savoury. I was surprised as I thought Hash and pancakes was a common thing in these parts. Nowadays I prefer Hash and Yorkshire Puds. I've even had Dumplings on Hash. By the way if you haven't already fathomed it out I love Hash.

We don't do the great Breadcake/ tea cake debate anymore as us from Tarn won't shift on our stance of tea cake and fruit/currant tea cakes rather than breadcakeplain and tea cake is fruit.

 

If my dad was (or is) ever making a stew or corned beef hash he'd always ask if we'd like a pancake with it as well. Worked pretty well tbh.

 

I'm with your colleagues. The two don't mix. Pancakes are the last day of feasting, ash is the first day of fasting. For some reason you were brought up to mix the two?

 

I certainty feast but I don't fast. That I believe is for our religious people. I would urge anyone who hasn't tried Hash and pancakes to do so. Oh, and wait a minute, how could I forget to mention the Brown Sauce. There's another debate, which brand of brown sauce is best.

 

You dirty barsteward. Brown sauce is the work of the devil himself

 

Nay, nay and thrice nay, Brown sauce is nectar of the gods. So tasty and versatile. It turns a Bacon and tomato sandwich into something exquisite, Fish and chips are enhanced (yes it is possible) Pork pie well I'll stop now coz I've just salivated over my iPad.

 

While we're on the subject of corned beef I had it on my butties yesterday with HP sauce. Delicious.

 

When I was a kid we used to predominantly have them with stew or hash, in my experience its a pretty recent thing that they have become thought of as a savoury thing.
To me its same as the Yorkshire pudding thing both are really nice so why have to choose one or the other

 

I too like a crepe old chap, I've already had one today and as soon as the bathroom is free again I'm going to have another.

 

I'm not a fan of corned beef hash, however, I do consider it acceptable to have a pancake with both savoury and sweet things. Not at the same time though, that would be uncouth.

 

We had ash and pancakes every week at my nans when I was a kid. As well as homemade Cornish pasties. Also we had sausage squares with chips as we weren't posh enough for normal sausages.

 

I'm with you on the hash or stew with pancakes. In fact I often carry a bowl of hash with me to the bird hide for instance or maybe on a trip to visit really old relatives in the cemetery.
