salt pork hash

[tenngun]

always playing with camp food.Love corn beef hash so I tried this. Take 1 lbs salt pork...home made all meat salt pork, cover with water to soak out the salt,put in 1/4 pound dried potatoes and 1/4 lbs dried onion.Soak for 1 hour pour off water and repeat twice. Chop all in to small bit, Use about a cup of the last soaking water bring to a boil and cook about 10 min. Pour off the water and bacon grease,oil or butter enough to fry in. add the onions and meaat any spices such as garlic and lots of pepper, serve when the meat is done. May serve on a bed of gound up ships bread moisten with any grease or melted butter,good at camp or home

OK you need to add a warning. I just got fatter reading that! :blah:

I once made a hash by chopping up some vary dry elk jerky, soaked it in water, used that water to boil the diced potatoes in. Fried off the last 3 strips of bacon & last 1/4 of an onion in camp. Brown's it all in the drippings from the bacon.

Nice late morning meal as we set about braking camp.

Guess I'm lazy, canned roast beef hash, add some onion, garlic and ketchup and cook till it's crispy.

If you want real fattening It's cheese grits loaded with bacon and butter.

Canned hash?????? What next? Spam hash???? In my days in the service, I ate my share of C rations. I can't stand the taste of canned meat, it reminds me of the smell of dog food. Smoked meat, dried meat, salted meat, jerky are all good but no canned meat products for me. :barf:

Hummmmmm, Dog food, onions, hot sauce and rice...... Sounds like a meal......

So if we looked at what's in high end refrigerated dog food & what's in 89¢ canned hash :idunno: I'd hate to think who is eating better a truck driver or a shi tzu.

Just for s&g I addd up the calories,about 3500. Now I wont pretent I aint ate 3500 caloris at a meal before,although I try to stay under 2000 a day now. This makes enough for 3 or 4 campers,right at 9- 1200 calories per meal.None too much on a early spring or late fall trail.I have cooked one batch, had dinner,breckfast and next dinner off it while camping and hikng trails.
Dont use the wads of salty pork fat sold as salt pork today.Use home made salt pork made with lean cuts of pork.

Very true except I prefer roast beast hash and it's 3 or 4 bucks these days. Also I can't remember the last time I had canned hash, 2 years ago, three years ago?
I don't eat many potatoes, they don't like me so it's mostly rice for me. Tried making a hash once with rice, it kinda worked though it would have been more appropriate to call it a stirfry.

Yeah. That canned meat gets too close to "chipped beef on toast a la Lucretia Borgia",aka xxxx on a shingle. :barf:

I never had a problem with it...enough salt and pepper made it relatively tasty.

 

[tenngun]

Full disclosure here I've eaten a can or two of monkey meat hash on the trail my self. Agree with black hand and add tobasco.
Got to say my dad used to make ****on a shingle for sunday breakfast a lot, I grew up liking it

 

[Billnpatti]

I, too, grew up eating.....uh.....S.O.S. and I still like it. Occasionally, I will fix it even today.

In '87 when deployed I worked with British Royal Marines..., they carried curry powder, but went nutso for Tobasco Sauce, which is what we carried. (NOW I find that the MRE's come WITH Tobasco Sauce - geesh what luxury!)

Dude what does this have to do with traditional muzzleloading and camp recipes?

Sorry..., I take salt, and red pepper, and I have a friend that had an illness that messed up the taste buds, so I also like a bit of cumin as the friend can taste that.

Don't like SOS, too salty. I prefer creamed beef, Make a white sauce, brown and add a pound of hamburger and sauteed onions, season with Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper to taste.
Serve over biscuits or toast.
Great for a heavy activity day.
