But agree, I don't know how much profit Corn beef selling companies make, but I can only imagine how much money they've lost through customers failing to open the tin once and never buying one again, you're standing there in the supermarket aisle, thinking, contemplating, should I risk my hard earned £2.50 giving this another go or should I buy something else, your brain is wired to save money at every turn, so you just walk away. If only they were not so stubborn to stick to their ridiculous square headed design and just morph into a roundhead, would be popular with the ladies anyhow. |

I feel the same about garage doors. They can send a man to the moon and yet they still manufacture up and over garage doors with wires each end. When these snap they are an absolute b@stard to replace. Why no alternative? |

The problem is after 10 mins of getting the key to finally start turning going round the first bend you feel like you've cracked it ,but you know problems lay ahead because the key is getting bigger and bigger with every turn by the time you approach the final corner the thing snaps .... the real problem then out of sheer frustration you try lifting whats left of the tin cutting your finger and the kitchen ends up like a scene from the Texas Chain Saw Massacre.

5 inch angle grinder from aldi comes in handy, don't forget to wear your goggles,gloves and write out a risk accessment before attacking the tin,

I like corned beef. So I buy the packed slices from Sainsburys . Very tasty - and keyless.

Of course , once opened that is not the end of the struggle . Now you have the not so simple task of extracting the meat from the tin in one piece . Gently squeezing alternate sides occasionally works . Failure to succeed using this method leads to the 'ketchup' method whereby one makes downward thrusting movements stopping abruptly just short of the work surface . Beware on the backstroke because if the previous downward thrust has only partially worked it is entirely possible for the meat to extract itself over ones shoulder rendering the contents totally inedible due to fluff and various hygiene restrictions .

gosh - we could never have tackled the hun in the desert with you lot - I shudder - you brew tea in the tin after
see the series DINNER LADIES for reference to 'desert rats' etc |
|
By:
or would you tackle the hun with dessert !!!!

|
By:
you men really are laughable moaning about not been able to open a tin of corned beef

if you managed the art of pulling the ring of a milk carton without milk going everywhere,corn dog tins should be manageable ,
on the subjext of milk cartons ive notice when I open them the white ring pull has alrteady been pulled havnt worked out if its the wife or someone doing them before they go on sale,  |
|
By:
I would have nellie alongside me in the trenches dishing it out to the hun!!!
a real trouper (see what I did there?) I expect they wouldn't shoot us if we were dishing out the dessert ho ho ho I have become a wit (or something) |
|
By:
The ring-pull Corned Beef cans are fine and fit for purpose. The key cans are useless. You might as well forget the keys from the very start and just use a tin-opener.

alun the key ringed bully beef are for Men not for pu$$ies

Actually, when you think about it, there is really no need for the tin, when you can buy it in packets!
I doubt that shelf life will be much, if any different after opening, and don't know about economics but can't be much different! |
|
By:
Ok clever clogs Verrit -after eating the bully how does one brew tea in a plastic packet!!??

By:
some people like all the fat,jelly you get in the cans, once saw a cookery show which showed the real mcoy cuts of corned beef in Ireland,looked very nice but have never tried it
|

By:
as long as they don't mess with the lids on pot noodles we,ll be ok.
|
|
By:
Agreed the key's a struggle. Once inside there's the second challenge of scraping off all that white fat without nausea quickly setting in.

when you are under fire it is things like this that takes your mind off sh!tting yourself
|
|
By:
I've opened them with an ordinary tin opener.
The type you turn are the best. Oh, and one thing, now this is very important if the tin is tapered. Make sure you open it from the thick end or you won't get the meat out. |
|
By:
For one's arteries it can be a good thing if one can't get the 'meat' out.
