depends how you use it.
Did your mum boil the veg to death as well?
Yep!
Actually corned beef hash was the very first "large scale" meal I learned to cook. I'd have been 19, I worked in a highly secure place where once inside, about 30 of you were stuck there for 12 hours. So one person each night would be nominated to be the cook, they'd have to collect provisions from a separate dining facility, and then would have to cook for everyone else's duty supper for between around 9pm-midnight. The facility was equipped with a professional kitchen so it had everything, but nearly everyone hated being given that job and they'd do batches of deep fried everything, it was a choice of sausages, burgers, or chips. Or all 3. With optional beans.
The first time I got lumbered with the job I called my Mum and asked what you could make for many people that would be popular, and she dictated the corned beef hash recipe over the phone while I scribbled it down. It scaled up really well and it really was popular! So I only knock it in jest, I do have at least some nostalgic love for CBH.
I think a basic chicken curry was the second thing I learned to cook, that went down even better. I was often on cooking duties from then on.
