Now for those who prefer to stay in the kitchen and create there own dishes here is a recipe for you to try;
It is pan fried corn beef hash with crisp smoked pancetta soft boiled egg rocket and grain mustard cream. This can be used for a nice starter or make a bigger portion for lunch!

Method;start by mixing left over mash potato( warm them up and they will be easier to mix with the corn beef) with equal quantities of corn beef 8oz of each should be enough. Wrap in cling film in a cylinder shape and chill..Grill the wafer thin pieces of pancetta till crisp then leave to the side. Boil an egg for 3 and a half minutes cool then peel. Mix a tablespoon of grain mustard with a half pint of whipped cream seasoned with salt pepper and a touch of lemon. When you want to serve the dish heat a non-stick pan up till hot add a touch of oil and knob of butter. Then add a slice of your corn beef hash pan fry on both sides till golden keep in medium hot oven whilst you assemble the dish.

On the plate put your slice of hot corn beef hash half of your soft boiled egg dressed rocket i.e a touch of dressing of your choice crisp cold pancetta then a quennelle ( a cheffy term for an oval shape) of grain mustard cream and...enjoy!
