...is this a thing?

Having a bit of discussion with a girl at work regarding my choice of today's sandwiches. White Bread with Corned Beef and sliced pickled beetroot. Delicious.

She was horrified and had never heard of such an abomination.

I, on the other hand, have lived my entire life believing that the natural accompaniment to a corned beef sandwich is pickled beetroot.

Who is right? Is it a thing or am I weird?

Admit you're wrong because corned beef and brown sauce is THE way to have corned beef sarnies. Or with a load of salad and salad cream.

You are right perchypanther.. good combo, maybe with a splash of salad cream (or mayo if you're posh) but white bread will give you rickets, possibly even AIDS

The only 'condiment' for corned beef is Branston Pickle.

EDIT: Thick slices of corned beef, chips and branston pickle is a fine meal of unrivalled simplicity. Throw a bit of iceberg on side if you have company.

Cheese required in between the corned dug and Beetroot, so that the sweet, pink goodness bleeds into the salty, extra matured cheddar.

Droooollll....

...and that's why you need the beetroot. Superfood innit!

Add orseraddish and Mustard to the Original recipe and you're laughing all the way to the bank.

Then you get a bit of something vaguely animal but not meat stuck in your teeth and wish you'd gone roast beef.

I've just had corned been and brown sauce butties, but corned beef and beetroot is most definitely a top notch butty! As is cornedd beef and pickled onions.

If you want to dry the wrongest, yet rightest butty in the world, you'll need crap white bread, beetroot and this.....

The only problem with beetroot for lunch is the panic following the next morning's poo when you look in the bowl and think you've got internal bleeding.

This thread allows me to add more names to my list.

Prepare to be sentenced with those who are confused by stew with a puff pastry hat.

You're all wrong (although I admit that perchypanther's combo sounds pretty good).

I have, however, lived in two of the three cities on planet earth that happen to specialise in corned beef sandwiches (Winnipeg; Montreal; New York) due to their large Jewish populations and the importance of the deli. And a proper sandwich should look like this:

It's not a sandwich if you need a knife and fork to eat it.

Always loved a Corned Beef and Beetroot sandwich and so did my dad so wondered if it was a Midlands thing?

The only thing for corned beef is potatoes, either hash or chips or alternatively eaten straight from the tin.

The only thing for corned beef is

I used to have a student dish of corned beef curry with pickle added during the cooking

However, [url= https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corned_beef_sandwich ]you are all wrong[/url] allegedly - acceptable accompaniments are mustard and pickle

No no no no no, you're all doing it wrong.
It's corned beef, mixed with sliced onion and tomato sauce, slathered on white bread then whacked into the breville (other sandwhich toasters are available) for a delish toasty.

Though to be fair anything with Beetroot in it is a winner for me too

Corned beef needs nothing more than white bread, butter and to be cold.

Corned beef pie (again, proper pie as in surrounded by short pastry, not corned beef with a pastry hat). Served cold with a big dollop of Heinz tomato sauce. Heaven on a plate. Next time you visit BPW, drop into Pontypridd and visit the institution that is Princes cafe. Best corned beef pie ever.

Pretty sure I saw some beetroot pickle in either Asda or Sainsburys recently, Deffo must try some...
As an aside I tend to have a few slices of beetroot on a salad along with either some hot spring rolls or bhajis, 'tis ace I tell thee!

There is some outrageous nonsense on here. Defiling a corned beef and beetroot sandwich with lettuce. I despair. What it is missing is a liberal scattering of crushed ready salted crisps and maybe some cheese spread to prevent said crisps escaping.

Hand cut, extra thick crusty white bread, corned beef, baked beans, previously warmed until thickened and cooled, brown sauce. Close thread.

I am a lover of corned beef and beetroot sandwiches and I'm also prepared to try all the combinations suggested above, but I'd like to throw in a curved ball into the equation, my wife cooks beetroot then dices it up, puts it in a jar and tops it off with raspberry jelly, let it set then eat it with anything. It is a thing of beauty believe me and that my friends is the end of this thread!

The natural accompaniment to pickled beetroot is thick slices of ham, pease pudding and English mustard, all in thickly sliced white bread (bonus points for a stottie).

The natural home of the corned beef is on a homemade pizza with little blobs of dairy lea. That's proper food

Feeling peckish, but beetroot for lunch usually costs me a work shirt (undressing in the company cafeteria is frowned upon. Go figger)

Holy mother of god!!

Corned Beef has always been a povo option.. Even as kids we knew if there was corned beef on our plates then the chances were that Christmas was gonna be a bit shit..

Inspired by this thread I went to the supermarket for a couple of tins yesterday relishing the thought of this cheap and tasty treat..

Over £2 effing 50p!!!
I'm guessing that we're not getting on very well with the Argies atm or something?

Yunki. For some people it's no poormans food. I've always loved cornbeef hash, goulash, other retro faves such as Carnation Milk and (my own fave) dry baguettes. Now my young son also loves all this.

Plus as kids Sunday Briskett was the stuff to die for. Both cornbeef and Briskett are now trendy-beard type stuff arent they??

Plus beetroot, anything beetroot rocks.
