Hash (food)

Hash, originally known as hashed beef, is a food popularly eaten in the United States, Great Britain and Denmark. It is composed of finely diced meat and vegetables. Today's hash is made with potatoes and beef, usually corned beef but sometimes roast beef. Other diced vegetables may be included, such as carrots or onions. It is usually served browned without any liquid added, making it somewhat dry. The hashed beef of the 19th century was notably different in that potatoes were more uncommon and one or more sauces, generally gravy, ketchup, and/or one or more types of broth, were often added.
