Sam Silverman is co-captain of his high school football team — a safety accustomed to bruising collisions. But that's nothing compared with the abuse he gets for being a vegetarian.[p class="textBodyBlack"][span id="byLine"][/span]"I get a lot of flak for it in the locker room," said the 16-year-old junior at Westborough High School in Massachusetts.[/p][p class="textBodyBlack"][span id="byLine"][/span]"All the time, my friends try to get me to eat meat and tell me how good it tastes and how much bigger I would be," said Silverman, who is 5-foot-10 and 170 pounds. "But for me, there's no real temptation."[/p][p class="textBodyBlack"]Silverman may feel like a vegetable vendor at a butchers' convention, but about 367,000 other kids are in the same boat, according to a recent study that provides the government's first estimate of how many children avoid meat. That's about 1 in 200.[/p][p class="textBodyBlack"][span id="byLine"][/span]Other surveys suggest the rate could be four to six times that among older teens who have more control over what they eat than young children do.[/p][p class="textBodyBlack"]---------[/p][p class="textBodyBlack"]Feel for that kid, veggie and a football player.

He wouldn't be "unusual" on the Left Coast. Lots of kids are vegetarian.
I am constantly thinking of turning vegetarian (or at least sticking solely to fish), however the moment I smell bacon all my good intentions fly through the window.
Maybe you could be a part time vegetarian, Gophie. :)
i wonder if they can make a good vegetarian alternative to corned beef hash...

What exactly is meant by 'corned' ,and why are no other items of food apparently subject to this process?
I think the "corned" is salt, smoke and pickling spice.
It's a British word.
I think its process is similar to that of the pastramis and briskets.

Nothing wrong with being a fish/bacon otherwise-vegetarian. Pick your favourite day of the week and consider that Bacon Day!
lol corned beef is a beef brisket that is cured.... corned beef brisket is good... but the salt content in 1 cup will give u close to your daily intake of sodium. so it is a rare treat for some folks...
corned beef hash
Ingredients:
* 2 to 3 tablespoons butter
* 2 cups cooked corned beef, finely chopped
* 3 cups cooked, chopped potatoes
* 1/4 cup minced onion
* 2 tablespoons chopped garlic, optional
* 2 tablespoons chopped parsley, optiona
* salt, pepper and brown gravy
Preparation:
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add corned beef, potatoes, and minced onion; spread evenly in the skillet. Brown on one side; turn with a spatula and brown the other side. Continue turning until most of the meat and potatoes are well-browned. Drain off excess fat and moisten with 3 or 4 tablespoons of brown gravy or beef gravy. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste. Garnish with parsley, if desired.
[a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corned_beef"]Corned_beef[/a]
In the U.S. and Canada, Corned beef has two meanings. One refers to a cut of beef (usually brisket, but sometimes round or silverside) cured or pickled in a seasoned brine. The other use of the term refers to a tinned product generally found with canned goods on supermarket shelves (see U.K. and German corned beef, below.)
The "corn" in "corned beef" refers to the "corns" or grains of coarse salts used to cure it. The Oxford English Dictionary dates the usage of "corn," meaning "small hard particle, a grain, as of sand or salt," to 888, and the term "corned beef" to 1621.[1] The term "corned beef" can denote different styles of brine-cured beef, depending on the region. Traditional corned beef is highly seasoned and often considered delicatessen fare.[citation needed]
Thanks for the info Orik.
I have a cousin who LOVES the corned beef hash in a can. He hasn't been able to find it in Canada lately though.
it is much cheaper to make you own. buying canned corn beef hash is very expensive you can buy them for 2 to 4 dollars a can for the small brand names and for a large one
the chef-mate from superstore or Costco can cost 14 to 20 dollars. the large can from Costco will make 24 servings and corned beef hash freezes well just add some onions green peppers and some more potatoes at home to the mix adn fry away... then add ur eggs for a nice breakfest...
i do recomend making your own though . much more affordable and much much tastier...
just my 2 cents... back to the lazy boy tv shows... and down loading the legend of the seeker... based on terry goodkinds wizard of truth novels is a tv series i missed cause i was in hospital thank good ness for torrent sites
There's corned beef hash in a can ?
Actuallly, if a vegetarian diet is super healthy so long as you keep up with the in-take of protein. Viva la beans.
I try a veggie day every so often. Tofu is your best friend when it comes to filling up. Never can live without tofu.
I can live quite comfortably without tofu. (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)
(actually, I have a sandwhich filling made with tofu, that I love...and I've used the silky tufu in fruit smoothies.) Other than that.....ptewwwi.
There is no way anybody could ever convince me, that a vegetarian diet is the healthiest diet. I wouldn't argue that it's UNhealthy....but I would say it has to be unbalanced.
PC. pls delete my double post in this thread as lazy orik. just one of them needs to be deleted.. PC i too am not a big fan of tofu and can live happily with out it. It also makes me gassy and bloated, some what akin to heart burn...
Now as for corned beef in a can you have regular corned beef then, you have corned beef hash. Both are nice, but in my books you can never beat home made for wholesome good fresh flavor.

what do you prefer Corned Beef or Spam..
and which would u rather i post to the forums
i'm just bored and had nothing to do but find some pics dl then re-host them to tinypic and then post them here ... mostly i am just killing time and trying to not get overly bored... better i do something creative than destructive...
Now I'm getting really curious about corned beef hash. Must try.
I've never done a good job making hash browns, though. Even the frozen ones.
Someone told me you can get perfect results with a can of potatoes.
Corned beef hash is really good Lil Me. Another thing you could try is cutting the c.b. up into small cubes and adding it (with some similarly diced cheese) to a pan of just cooked pasta, throw a little oil on it, stir, and after the cheese has melted and the c.b. has 'come apart', serve and eat.
That sounds really good.
Yep it is, it belongs to my cheap and easy cuisine.
