Can I Get Cans of Corned Beef in Cabo San Lucas or LA Paz Mexico?

[sailcub]

You know, there are big box type stores in either cabo or la paz where you can pick up all manner of fine vittles

[sv_pelagia]

In La Paz, we liked "City Club" (owned by Soriana)... something like COSTCO. They allow "day memberships"

UPDATE: I didn't find corned beef at Costco OR Walmart in Cabo San Lucas but the Costco had lots of "pre" cooked bacon and cans of chicken breast so that'll be fine.

Thanks, I'll give it a look when I go to La Paz

Uh oh…..we’re down to swapping recipes. (I’ve a great one for lemon ice box pie.)😄

It’s a Reuben, not a “Ruben”, and only a savage would make one with Russian dressing. Grilled rye bread, sauerkraut, corned beef and hot German mustard. Sublime.

The Argentinians have declared war on Ireland. They have taken the keys off the top of the corned beef tins.

You can get corned beef hot at our local Woolworths. It's really nice with white sauce and vegetables. The next day on bread with cheese is just as good.
Cheers

Maybe he confused it with a Ruben sandwich? :-)

BTW by far the best Reuben sandwich I had was at Katz’s Deli on Manhattan… you know, the one from When Harry met Sally

[CrispyCringle]

Gonna have to try that place. Several mentions.

Yes, it sounds really expensive but it’s so much that it isn’t easy to finish the sandwich with two people.

Two tips: be there at 11am latest because at noon the line goes around the block. When you are at the counter where the meat cutter helps you, put a tip in the jar and you’ll get to taste and get better cuts

Oh, and another one while you’re in Manhattan: try the Oysters Rockefeller at the Oyster bar in Grand Central Station (World’s best)
Have to be there early too but when too early they are still closed… decided to walk around a bit and when I got back the line was crazy so I gave up

We cruised one year without refrigeration. Sailed SF, Mexico, FP, HI, and return to SF. I agree with Jedi that if it is going to be canned corned beef, the Argentine is best. Here is one of the things we did with corned beef.

Corned Beef & Vegetable Roll

Mix 2c. flour, 1/2 t. salt, 2 t. baking powder, and rub in 2 T. shortening [whatever you have that will work, bacon fat or chicken fat will work] until crumbly. Add just enough water to make a stiff dough. Roll out in to a rectangle 1/4" (6mm) thick.

Chop 2 onions and combine with corned beef, slice 2 carrots thin, slice potato roughly 1/4", chopped cabbage. Add enough lightly moistened tomato paste [1tsp water to 1 tbsp paste] to mix/bind it all together, spread onto your rectangle of dough. Add pepper.

Roll up the dough and meat mixture and pinch ends.. Brush top with milk. (We used powdered whole milk, reconsituted.) Place on a cookie sheet with edges or in a roasting pan so no juices run out into the oven.

Bake in a medium oven (350 d. F or about 180 d. C) for about an hour till the veg are cooked and the dough is golden brown.

You can make some onion gravy to serve with it, and mustard of your choice.

Serve with thick onion gravy, mustard on the side, if you like.

I found this more edible than just using corned beef mixed with minced onion spread on crackers (cabin biscuits) with mustard...which we sometimes had for lunch.

Ann, here’s an English version of the Dutch favorite recipe using the Argentinian canned corned beef. Not sure if this recipe does but most Dutch people also add a sour apple
