Re: Corned beef in Switzerland?

Sorry no idea but I would like to thank you for reminding me of corned beef hash. Oh what would I do for a plate of that now! I also recommend fried potatoes and corned beef with tomato ketchup as a sandwich in Mother's Pride bread (yes - the health issues of this betray the fact that I am from Glasgow...)

Re: Corned beef in Switzerland?

Has anyone happen to see the whole slab of corned beef around? Pastrami would also be cool to find.

Re: Corned beef in Switzerland?

It is called "Corned Beef". Had some last night. It goes well mixed in with Roesti, and some Heinz ketchup - quick and easy for a rainy night

? Is it the capital letter for Beef that makes the difference?

Re: Corned beef in Switzerland?

No chance of a bit of real corned beef by any chance? Not tinned cat food style?

Re: Corned beef in Switzerland?

Would love to be able to cook corned beef and cabbage for St. Patrick's Day, but have not found a place that sells the brisket. Did anyone else have any luck finding the real thing?? I'm not interested in tinned meat.

ps: Happy St. Pattie's Day!

Re: Corned beef in Switzerland?

Have you tried "The Brit Shop" online?

There is a place in Zug, "Frankys Cheese and More" that sells the real stuff if your in the area.

Re: Corned beef in Switzerland?

I like corned beef so much, that it just might be worth a trip to Zug! Thanks for your help. Although mentioning the British Shop did remind me that I've been wanting some Digetives - doh!

Most of the larger coops carry digestives, I forget what brand though.

Re: Corned beef in Switzerland?

I had no idea you could get corned beef out here, I miss it!! Corned beef sandwich with Branston Pickle... AWESOME!

I'll be scouring Migros in Zug next week, unless anyone can give me directions as to where it is in there??

Toot toot!

In the Coop it's in the tinned fish and meat section.

Figures - I avoid our Coop because the parking is so bad. I did find some in Carrefour, but they were the chocolate coated ones.

So I settled for gingernuts instead. Love them with tea.
