History of Corned Beef Hash
The exact date of the creation of hash is unknown but there were several early accounts of it. Hash was originally a clever way to use leftovers. In the 14th century there was a recipe for “hache” or “hachy” and in the 17th century an English Diarist wrote about a rabbit hash. In the U.S, the earliest version of Hash that we know of is seen when out of home eating expanding in the mid to late 19th century. A cheap restaurant was referred to as a hash house or hashery. Corned Beef Hash arrived later in the late 19th century when preserving meat through salt-curing (A method that draws the water out of food with salt to prevent the growth of bacteria) became popular. Corned Beef Hash was brought to the U.S by Ashkenazi Jewish immigrants (Christi’s distant relatives). By 1898 corned beef hash became popular enough to become a canned good.
