There is nothing wrong with corn beef itself. But
There is nothing wrong with corn beef itself. But whoever thought of hiding hook for key under label, took ages to peel off as label stuck firmly to tin. That is the main reason for only giving three stars. Needs attention in this area.
Don't bother !
I am rather furious !! I bought two small tins of this lean corned beef the other week. When I got round to using them, one of the keys was missing, and the other was stuck on the top of the tin. When I took the key off to open up the tin, there was no starter on the metal on which to hook the key into. I searched both tins, took off the label in both, and there was NO STARTER on the tins to hook the key into !!! I then had to use my very good tin opener to open up the tins - have you ever used a can opener to open up a square tin??? The upshot is that I broke my very good can opener , didn't I !!!!! What on earth is the manufacturer thinking about?? It was like trying to get into Fort Knox, not a can of bully beef !!! Sharpen up your act Princes , for goodness sake - we pay good money for the privilege of owning a can of bully beef, the least you can do is provide us with a can that open easily!!. By the way, the lean corned beef is good.
Difficult to open
I like the product but why has Princes started hiding the start of the opening strip under the wrapper? It makes it even harder to open than usual. It’s impossible to find the start to use the key without taking a knife to the wrapping paper to remove it!
It does not taste good to me
It does not taste good to me. It is too strong for my taste but other people may like it.
very versatile and tasty.
It very lean and perfect for salads, sandwiches and even with mash potato and pickles for a quick and easy meal, as a bonus it is very low in calories and if you are following slimming world its only 2 syns.
the best for taste.
why does it have to be in a small tin? it is expensive and not large enough to feed our family. We need 2 tins. O k it is very good but not worth being the same price as a large fatty tin.
It was very good used in stew very tasty

Much better than standard, but expensive
Loses one star because it's a lot of money for what is a very small can, but other than value it's an excellent product. It not only has less fat but it has less salt too, and it's just about right. Tastes just great. The small can is ideal for one or two people but will be too small for a family.
Welcome back to reduced salt version!
A useful store cupboard item for making curry. So pleased Tesco have this available again. We tried the version which doesn't have reduced salt and it was almost inedible...far too salty.
