I have now found an alternative which involves both red wine and marmite

Now we're talking... 

I cooked a steak thing last night with loads of red wine - I didn't know if I should eat it or drink it in the end...

Indeed... or make her the one with the eggs in it.

TBH I'd frefer the sandwich to the hash... 

[Nick]

"frefer"?

"frefer"?

The poached eggs sit atop the hash not in it!

Vista let you read that one then?

Poached eggs in this context are just wrong. Now red wine and marmite, on the other hand..........

Basic hash recipe.
Take tin of corned beef, place in fridge for an hour.
Meanwhile boil and mash potatoes.
Sweat (lightly fry but do not allow to colour) some finely chopped onion and leeks
Remove corned beef from tin and grate it into a bowl. (YES I said Grate it)
Add mashed potato, onion and leeks and mix together with a beaten egg.
Form into largish balls and then flatten the balls to make thick burger shaped cakes.
Shallow fry in hot sunflower/vegetable oil for a couple of minutes on each side until golden ~ do not leave unattended at ths stage as they burn in seconds if you turn your back.
Serve wth a salad or if The Boy is like my kids with chips.

Isn't that a sort of burger recipe?

Yes .... works for fish cakes too. 'Specially if, like me, you like to make fish cakes wth salmon or smoked haddock.
Instead of grating poach and then bltz the fish in a food processor.

Note I don't do quantities. I use Keith Floyd's "Metric handful" and "A splosh or two" method.

Home made burgers... and chips...
