Hash (food)

Uncommon card · No. 156048

Hash is a dish consisting of chopped meat, potatoes, and fried onions. The name is derived from French hacher, meaning 'to chop'. Canned corned beef hash became especially popular in countries such as Britain and France during and after the Second World War as rationing limited the availability of fresh meat. Hash may be served for breakfast, lunch, or supper. When served for breakfast in the United States, hash may come with eggs, toast, hollandaise sauce, or baked beans. High-end restaurants offer sophisticated hash dishes on their menus. Modern preparations have been made with unconventional ingredients, such as lamb, fish, venison, turkey, chicken, shrimp, steak or vegetables.
