And it's still corn beef time! I cooked the corn beef that I brined myself and plan to make hash with the last of the beef. It was wonderful and himself says that 'it was tolerable'. Time to get another one in the crock :-)

SPAM Museum
Hormel, which makes SPAM (and 3,000 other food-like products) is headquartered in Austin. In 1991 it opened a small storefront company museum in a local mall. But its visitors mostly cared about SPAM. The company quickly rechristened it the SPAM Museum, but the public wanted more. So in 2002 Hormel opened an expansive new SPAM-centric museum in its own custom building, right across the street from the meat plant. If you want to fully savor American cuisine, you should visit the New World of Coca-Cola, the McDonald's Museum, and here.
I rise to present a strong objection to their statement "to fully savor American cuisine, you should visit the New World of Coca-Cola, the McDonald's Museum, and here." That list is to American cuisine as a block of marble is to a Rodin sculpture.

Our corn beef is wonderful! But you have to soak it in water for a couple of hours before cooking to get out the excess salt.
Himself is being treated to corn beef hash for supper. He's ecstatic :)

Looking at the KA page, it seems to me he's turning them too early... the trick with crumpets is the rubberisation of the dough - perhaps In Wales knows of the chemical processes at work... hmm... I should ask my friend who runs the "bread as biomaterials" course at Cambridge...
