Corned beef (preserving beef with "corns" or large grains of salt) was developed in Europe in the 11th century. In the Irish text Aislinge meic Con Glinne there is a reference to “perpetual joints of corned beef”.
The word “hash” for a fried left-overs dish came into English in around 1677 from the old French word 'hacher', meaning to chop. Corned beef hash has its origins in being a particularly delicious combination of odds and ends.
