"Corned beef hash first arrived in the U.S. during the 1800s with the culinary traditions of Ashkenazi Jewish immigrants from northern Europe. But, the dish didn't see its majorly popular U.S. debut until WWII, when resourceful home cooks worked to stretch limited meat rations. Post-war kitchens across the nation continued placing a special focus on canned goods during this period, and Armour Star Corned Beef Hash arrived right on time - innovatively packing a complete, ready-to-heat meal into a convenient can."
"For a retro formulation, Armour Star's hash boats a pretty straightforward ingredients list: beef, rehydrated potatoes, and water, plus 2% or less of salt, sugar, seasoning (natural flavors, dextrose), and sodium nitrite, a common additive in other tinned meats like SPAM (which, incidentally, also enjoyed a boom in the U.S. during the 1950s). Armour Star Corned Beef Hash gave post-war cooking a convenient facelift"
Corned beef hash entered the United States in the 1800s with Ashkenazi Jewish immigrants and gained widespread popularity during WWII as cooks stretched limited meat rations. Post-war American kitchens emphasized canned goods, and Armour Star Corned Beef Hash provided a ready-to-heat, convenient meal. The product contained beef, rehydrated potatoes, water, and small amounts of salt, sugar, seasoning, and sodium nitrite, similar to other tinned meats like SPAM. Armour Star found favor in the 1950s and inspired nostalgic memories of eating hash on toast, though the brand has largely faded from common recognition.
