It's like hash browns with a mixture of chopped or mashed veges added, or even left over chopped up meat.
I make it as an accompaniment to a meat dish rather than just cook up seperate veges.

Americans do (so I'm told) sell corned beef in tins, but they also sell it on the deli counter ~ and that doesn't look like the tinned corned beef.
Speaking of corned beef... I think I'll be making corned beef hash soon... must get some ingredients tomorrow...

I wouldn't say so, actually, since bubble and squeak is made with already cooked mashed spuds, not grated (shredded), diced or whatever raw potato.

Yep, that's how we do it - with left over mashed spud and veges and fry it in little cakes like hash browns.

Oh ok, so really you mean that the method of making bubble and squeak is similar to how you cook hash browns, rather than it actually being like hash browns? I get what you mean now!

I have never seen it in a can.
We get the meat from the butcher and boil it up slowly with brown vinegar, cloves, brown sugar, bay leaves and chopped up onion.

Most of the corned beef I've ever eaten has come from a can. However, I once bought a whole slab from a local grocer. I still preferred the canned for taste and texture.

Well, the stuff in the can and the stuff in the deli may both be called corned beef, but to me they almost seem like two different products. You couldn't really make a decent rueben sandwich with the canned corned beef, but I would much rather use the canned to make corned beef and cabbage.
I was once a witness to a prolonged online battle in which an East coast Jewish woman and a midwest woman fought passionately about who invented the Reuben sandwich. The midwestern lady proved she was right, but I do think deli corned beef is more readily available in areas with a large Jewish population. Growing up in central Pennsylvania, I only ever knew about it in a can, until I moved to Philadelphia.

Had to look up a Reuben sandwich as I'd never heard of it before.
Sauerkraut? - YUK!! No thanks, lol.

I agree! Sauerkraut tastes way worse than it sounds.

Sauerkraut can be bad. The worst reuben sandwiches are made with sauerkraut that hasn't been cooked enough. I've had some that tasted like the kraut had been used straight out of a can. Blech. I like it when it's rinsed well and then cooked with either cider or ginger ale, which gets rid of the bitterness.

I like cabbage in any form, including Sauerkraut, except for boiled. Boiled cabbage triggers my gag reflex, even when cooked with corned beef.

Huh. I didn't know that corned beef came in a can. Is it sold in the canned meat section? I've only every purchased it from the butcher, or the meat section.
I *love* Reuben sandwhiches. I don't actually notice the sauerkraut much, but I do like it anyway. It took me years to be willing to try a Reuben, but once I did I loved them.

I don't like raw cabbage, so that pretty much knocks out sauerkraut for me.

Sauerkraut isn't what I'd call raw. As I understand it, the cabbage is salted just so and then allowed sit for about 10 days as two different kinds of naturally occurring bacteria work on it. The first creates carbon dioxide and the second uses the carbon dioxide to make acid. The final product tastes nothing like raw cabbage.

It certainly smells like raw cabbage! (I don't like the sour smell either; I like pickle, but not pickles)

I don't think it smells at all like raw cabbage.
