You take the key off the metal tab, turn it around, so the thumb piece is facing the bottom of the can and thread it back on the tab and then wind it clockwise. Simple, a job I did as a child and wanted corned beef sandwiches. My Grandfather said in WWI in the trenches bully beef would be mixed with broken up hardtack biscuits water and whatever canned or fresh vegetables they could get and cooked in a stew.
I found out about key placement after the fact, the instructions were covered by the key, some pretty poor industrial design. We actually tried making stews like your grandfather described on our charity march, it was pretty delectable!
We ate this as kids in Ireland, and later when we moved to England. I love this stuff. Fry up 2 or 3 slices and make a sandwich of them. Great with scrambled eggs and baked beans!

Corned beef is just our spam. And much like spam, has our own cult following. My island St Helena has a lot of fusion food using left over army corned beef a lot like how Hawaii, Korea and Japan have added spam to a lot of their dishes. Goes really well in curry pastries :D
Sorry I'm late...just watched this video for the 1st time, and had I'd seen it closer towards its release date, I would have responded in a more timely manner. Fray Bentos is a city in Uruguay, which still exists, and was the center of corned beef production for Britain and it's colonies, for almost 100 years. BTW, the UK company got its name from the city, not the other way around. At the site of the original Fray Bentos packing plant in Uruguay, there now stands a museum dedicated to the history of corned beef production in Uruguay. The key is usually removed, turned 180°, reinserting the tab, then turning the key in the correct direction, until the can is opened, where the pre-scored strip of metal from the can has wrapped around said key. The trapezoidal shape of the can allows the product to be removed from within, without the need to open the opposite end, and the can design allows for better packing of the product within cases, allowing for more efficient shipping. As for the Prion disease, as corned beef contains no bovine (or any other animal) brain tissue or byproducts, there is 0% chance of infection. Corned beef (usually) contains only 100% beef, and consists of different parts of the cow which are not normally sold to the public, but which are perfectly safe to eat. Corned beef does NOT contain any bits of offal, such as liver, lungs, intestine, tripe, stomach, or other internal organs (although there may be some heart meat added), as it tends to introduce off or bitter flavors to the product. Like Spam, corned beef is also great pan fried, and as it contains no fillers, and the only additives used in its production is salt and potassium nitrate, it's 1000x better for you than Spam, hot dogs, or even bologna. The main issue as to why the British troops despised bully beef, was mostly due to the monotony of eating it multiple times a day, for weeks, if not months at a time, and their poor taste buds simply couldn't take it anymore. Here's a video about the museum at Fray Bentos, and a bit of history about corned beef: ruclips.net/video/CCb2fgsk0Wo/видео.html
Bully beef is more commonly referred to as just corned beef in the uk, one dish that is make quite often is a corned beef pie, better than it sounds. Also, to open it with the little ‘key’ it’s kind of like a needle with a little hole, you turn the key upside down so the head is hanging from the bottom. You thread the little metal tab through the hole and twist, opening the tin. Probably not all that interesting but here ya go. I’m surprised corned beef isn’t a well known thing outside the uk.
Corned beef is common and popular here, it’s used on a daily basis on Rueben’s and is supremely prevalent at St. Patrick’s. Now that is fresh corned beef, tinned corned beef, well, that’s somewhat unheard of here. I surmise because per pound, fresh corned beef is the same price or cheaper when compared to the tinned variety.
I can not count the number of cans of corned beef/bully beef I have opened and cooked in my lifetime. Fried potatoes and corned beef was a common meal at home when I was growing up. The standards at Libby’s seem to have gone down some over the years, though
Thinly sliced potatoes or canned, some green onions. Heat the pan chop or mush up the meat in the pan toss in the taters and onions. Add pepper to taste. Makes a nice hash.
@@TheFarOffStation *me who dug a trench in my backyard and waited for it to rain to jump into the mud like 1918 to then eat my horribly cooked meals all which came from cans*
I found that out...after it tore off...yank me has absolutely zero experience with key opening cans, they're just not very prevalence here for some reason.
You know, almost every video I see, people seem to have a hard time with the key. I wonder if it is because of the now common pull off tops on a lot of cans? Those keys used to be on a lot of different stuff. Cans of sardines, bacon, spam, ham, even asparagus had it.
I don’t know where your from but here we don’t eat a tremendous amount of that kind of canned food, along side the fact that many that are self opening, have a pull tab and not a key.
@@TheFarOffStation I am in the rural Midwest. Back in the 70's and 80's everyone always had that stuff around. A lot of times thunderstorms or winter storms would knock the power out for several days or we would get snowed in. There also was a lot of home canning of vegetables and meat. I still keep a good stock of canned goods in case of emergency.
Ermmm, no, cans like this are hardly common in this country. Any commonly used canned products, that do include a self opening apparatus, are almost exclusively pull.
An amusing film. Bully beef was the staple source of meat for a good reason ie the good nutrition content. It turned to a slop in hot countries but was still popular. The Chindits were issued with American K Rats (containing spam) which they loathed. They craved bully beef. Spam is a vile over-processed product.
Personally I prefer the hereford brand corned beef from brazil, even if it is absurdly expensive. That said it might not exactly look appetizing when you first take it out of the can but that fat can be a real life saver. Aside from the obvious additional calories from eating it, its useful as a cooking medium like you said, can help make hardtack softer and easier to eat, can be scraped off and used as a fire starter or rubbed into a piece of cloth to use as a simple wicked candle in an emergency situation, rubbed on bug bites to soothe them and be heated into a liquid, used to soak a cloth and then the cloth can be used to rub on knives and firearms as a simple oilcloth to protect them against rust
The whole point of the key strip opening system, when opened, was to allow the ‘remaining portion of the day’s ration’ to be saved securely by the remains standing upon the shallow bottom and the box shaped town placed over the remaining meat and wedged inside the lip of the bottom. Originally made for the civilian market which had no cold storage facility in those days.It kept the flies off. This made it ideal for service use. BTW, when British ships took Argentine corned beef off their shelves as a patriotic gesture in the 1982 Falklands War the Ministry of Defence leapt in and bought up huge stores of it cheaply and the British army was eating Argentine corned beef for years thereafter.
Great with potatoes, onions, and crushed garlic. My other favorite is with cabbage, potatoes, carrots, celery, onions, with crushed garlic. This is also a favorite in the Philippines as breakfast with crushed garlic and onions thanks to the US during their occupation and WWII. You can still eat this on the West Coast like California and Nevada which has a large Filipino population. It's served with hot garlic fried rice and fried eggs for a great breakfast meal with a chain restaurant called Jolly Bee. Really great too!!!
I always remembered the Corn Law of 1815 because of something corned, such as corned beef, referring to a form of preservation relying on what was traditionally known as corn - all grains. It's all come full circle now!
I've had corned beef during AIT, it was the best thing I've had there. Mainly because it was safe to eat as is and the new privates don't know how to cook food thoroughly.
Nice video! I suspect my grandfather developed his taste for instant coffee while serving in World War Two. My grandmother made awesome percolated coffee, but Gramp always stuck with his Sanka.
Yep, that's the way to do it. Remove key from tab, invert, then turn with the key top clear of the can, then punching a hole in the top end to allow air in lets the meat glide out of the can. It's actually sold finely sliced in Delis in the UK and far from being the utility cheap meat to feed soldiers it is now an expensive sandwich product.
If you were out camping or on a for real battlefield in a for real war like Ukraine at this time with little to nothing else in the way of food for miles around, you would consider this 5 star gourmet dining.
The more outdoors you are, the better food tastes. I've had some top notch meals, including seafood on the New England coast and a $100 breakfast buffet at the Ritz-Carlton in NYC. But one of my best food memories will always be strips of venison roasted over a campfire with Italian bread and wormy apples for sides while deer hunting in the Adirondacks. I still have fond memories of a beef stew MRE I ate on a long coyote hunt decades ago.
I bought some kind of corned beef from a discount store in the U.S. that was made in Australia. It was full of what i assumed was fat, but texturally acted like plastic. Round cans, and after examining the product i didn't try heating it up. Tried it on the cats. They ate around whatever the weird stuff was.
The Bully Beef tin key is an impromptu IQ test for "Tommy Atkins." I learned to straighten the metal strip, take off and turn the key 180 degrees, re-insert the key, then begin winding up the metal strip to open the bottom of the can. Does this mean that "IQ levels have dropped sharply among Hipsters? Oh well, one could still break off the key if the scoring wasn't complete. The usual way to make Corned Beef and Cabbage was to fry those items together and create something more appetizing "hot off the griddle." Another thing to do would be to make "Jet Black's" "Green Peppers (Onions) and Beef" for bon vivant "Spike Spiegel" without having to go to the "Tijuana" station/asteroid for Carnitas.;)
corned beef :D its nice with cabbage, carrots and like you said corned beef hash. Good with eggs as well. The "canned food" taste is definitely from the nitrates used for preserving the meat. Its a decent alternative to breakfast sausage and spam.

I’ve read a lot and I get that corned beef was not a favorite. I love the stuff. Was it because in ww1 ww2 it was over used thus food boredom or did they have a different palette. Someone explain
I love corned beef too, but eating it cold is like eating spam cold. The fat also doesnt render and can be unpleasant. When the troops got it in their ration, they sometimes had to eat it straight out the can. And when you have corned beef all the time, as with all things you get sick of it.
Best way to eat this stuff is to make a bastard Rueben. Put a hunk of rye bread in the oven, put a slab of this on top, heat in the oven on 350 for about 15 minutes or until it's gone all crispy and delicious. Slather another hunk of rye bread with thousand island dressing, add sauerkraut(or not if you're being patriotic) and there you go. I'm from the American south which means I'm poor and ate this a lot growing up.
@@TheFarOffStation wow, that was a quick reply! I found your channel through Brandon F and the upcoming Great Collaboration. Excited about the project and your kit looks good. Do try this recipe. It's actually quite nice and very filling. One can can feed five people pretty easily this way.
Good heavens, it's not rocket science. You had the key the wrong side up. it's best served stewed with tomato and onion, on top of whatever kind of starch you have - bread, rice, etc.
@@TheFarOffStation was I supposed to read all the old comments? I didn't know, sorry! Just weird to see a young person struggle with something that we could do in our sleep in the previous millennium. You probably laugh at old people struggling with cell phones - same thing.
Take the key off... Turn it 180 degrees. Re-attach. Rotate in the correct direction and it will roll all the metal up from around the can. Take a regular butter knife. Insert it around the sides to free the slab. Insert knife at 30 to 45 degree angle and lever the meat out of the can.
I can’t believe this is the guy you have describing bully beef doesn’t even know that corned beef is beef and spam is pork. Maybe he should watch a few videos to learn something.
You used the can key wrong. You are supposed to remove it from the tab, flip it over so the grip is below the rim of the can then put it back on the metal tab and unscrew from there. Won’t break that way.
The can has always been tapered and if you had opened the can properly with the key it dont take a degree to figure out to turn the key handle the other way up to miss the bottom of the can you would have found its always been tapered to slide the meat out that way and when it comes out on the plate it really wont bite you the way you was dancing round it i was cracking up i can see you in the trenches dancing with a can of corned beef going eeer eeer its a bit slimy ha!!! and if you had cleaned your pan once in a while it tastes and performs better in the cooking

@@TheFarOffStation wow, that was a quick reply! I found your channel through Brandon F and the upcoming Great Collaboration. Excited about the project and your kit looks good. Do try this recipe. It's actually quite nice and very filling. One can can feed five people pretty easily this way.
@@JohnRutherford205 Sometimes I happen to be on when a comment comes in! The project should be very exciting, and I shall indeed have to give it a go!
Nothing wrong with corn beef eating a corn beef and cheese sandwich now , wish the british army would put tins of corn beef in are rations now
It seems like a good stable ration with lots of potential with good caloric levels, seems like perfect army food to me.
you could buy actual ww1 rations off ebay or something at eat them like that guy who eat rations for youtube
That's an interesting concept, I wonder what actual WWI rations would actually be like, over 100 years on!
Have you never had corned beef hash for breakfast?
Edit, you have. Teach me to comment before watching the video.
@@thedamnyankee1 it's all good mate!
Looks tasty!
He says it’s got this canned meat aftertaste I wonder why that is
Great Video
Thank you!
So uh something I eat normally..... huh. I expected it to be something worse lol
I think it just gets it’s wrap from First World War accounts.
@@TheFarOffStation probably. Anyway just found your Channel. Great work mate.
@@danielhenderson5651 thanks, old boy! Glad you’re liking it! More on the way if I can get my act together!
I actually like corned beef, perhaps canned Corned Beef from outside of the UK doesn't taste as good.
Don’t believe I said anything about it being bad.
@@TheFarOffStation That is true, and on that revelation my comment is irrelevant.
@@raven-pu4gi Corned beef is and always has been a massive export of South America. Not the UK.
Good heavens, it's not rocket science. You had the key the wrong side up. it's best served stewed with tomato and onion, on top of whatever kind of starch you have - bread, rice, etc.
The thousandth comment about opening a tin poorly, how original and new!
@@TheFarOffStation was I supposed to read all the old comments? I didn't know, sorry! Just weird to see a young person struggle with something that we could do in our sleep in the previous millennium. You probably laugh at old people struggling with cell phones - same thing.
Yeah this guy should take that can and shove it up his arse
You should try it as Bar-B-Que style.
That could be good.
Take the key off... Turn it 180 degrees. Re-attach. Rotate in the correct direction and it will roll all the metal up from around the can. Take a regular butter knife. Insert it around the sides to free the slab. Insert knife at 30 to 45 degree angle and lever the meat out of the can.
You’re 18 months too late.
Not monolithic, delicious 🥧😜
I don’t think they’re mutually exclusive 😂
Give me spam over that shit any day. From a Welsh Irish background and my family love it. 🤢
Terribly sorry.
Surely you learned this by now, but the key ripped off because you tried to use it upside down.
Considering that it was eight months ago, yes.
Just woke up from a killer nap after a 5 day meth binge and this was playing on my phone. Thank you for your service, soldier.
You’re welcome 🤣
I’ve had corned beef... it’s not terrible...
The fresh stuff, is still a lot better than the tinned stuff!
You sound like a younger, more American Brandon F. lol
You do know Brandon F isn’t actually English.....right?
We're also roughly the same age.
@@oberjagerhesse947 Yes but people remark often about how “British” he sounds.
even a pro can cut himself with those cans if you you are not paying attention.
I'm telling you mate, they're WMDs.
I can’t believe this is the guy you have describing bully beef doesn’t even know that corned beef is beef and spam is pork. Maybe he should watch a few videos to learn something.
He can’t cook one piece of meat without burning it
You used the can key wrong. You are supposed to remove it from the tab, flip it over so the grip is below the rim of the can then put it back on the metal tab and unscrew from there. Won’t break that way.
So new and original!
This guy obviously is a mama’s boy and would’ve died the first week in any war
Corned dog.the Germans called theirs alte mann
Good to know
Drats I’m late
I uploaded this at 1am, you’re forgiven.
The can has always been tapered and if you had opened the can properly with the key it dont take a degree to figure out to turn the key handle the other way up to miss the bottom of the can you would have found its always been tapered to slide the meat out that way and when it comes out on the plate it really wont bite you the way you was dancing round it i was cracking up i can see you in the trenches dancing with a can of corned beef going eeer eeer its a bit slimy ha!!! and if you had cleaned your pan once in a while it tastes and performs better in the cooking
Millennial eating man food girling out 😊
Heat is too high silly
Quite!
Turn the bloody key around so it points in the opposite direction for goodness sake!
So new and original.
Give me one brother 🥵
Should be found in most stores globally.
Im jz kidding i do tie dyes btw
Product of Jamaica 😂
Tell me how the Prion disease goes!
Oh yes, I'll be sure to make a follow up!
You are cooking on too much heat. Way too much heat. Drop that down to Medium.
My mother used to eat that crap!!!!! The key always broke!
Why go for tinned meat, when you go for literally anything else....
Recruits in the British Army would have been taught how to open the can from their basic training... Good try at humor...😆😆😆😁😁😁😂😂😂
They would have known that quite before, eating canned foods in their civilian diets.
Second only to SPAM. Yuck Barf!!!
Winston just died watching this.
@@TheFarOffStation Only if actually ate it. Why do I hear a Monty Python skit in my head?
@@winstonstone because this is so in the vain.
Ive used that exact brand to make hash before, i thought it was pretty good
Cooked up, it’s definitely good, when cold, it’s still not bad!
