Final Warning
This Mega overpriced. There are brands out there for £1.84 and £2.00. If Princes is the only brand Tesco can put out, then I say Tesco are only thinking about Profits and not the general public. I kid you not Tesco, my time with you is fast approaching its end. My £700 per month is going somewhere else. Its not just the corned beef. The selection of beef joints are the worst of any Supermarket in the UK. Plus a lot more.

I had no problems opening the can. However, we all found this product very salty compared to our normal brand. We didn't like it and won't buy again.
This Corned Beef is excellent value and quality
I've always loved corned beef, its so versatile, it can be made into a stew with lots of veggies and potatoes and eaten with crusty bread, corned beef pie (one of my favourites) fried in batter, sliced in a sandwich or sliced with chips. I've never had any problems with Princes corned beef, I'd recommend it 100%
Have they changed the recipe?
What has happened to Princes corned beef? I have been buying this for years but my latest tin was unusual, Not sure if they've changed the recipe - maybe tried to make it healthier? - but it was very soft and almost rubbery/bouncy and a very bright pink colour. on tasting it, it seemed tasteless and seemed to just disintegrate. Not nice at all. Will try a different brand next time and hope for the best.
Disgusting quality!
They seem to have changed how they make this, it used to be nice and tasty. Bought two tins recently, opened first one and its consistancy was different it looked like a pile of mush, it was full of little bits of yellow animal tubes and lots of fat, it disintegrated in the corned beef hash and tasted awful. The next tin was just the same when I opened it - absolutely vile stuff. The birds who visit the garden ate it. Will not buy again.
good
I have tried lots of others and find this the best for pasties, makes quite a few but i do add oxo's for taste so not sure how tasty it really is , good value just a bit hard to open.
Horrible after taste
What has happened to Princes corned beef.I haven't had it in years and really fancied it today.Really hard to open and a very disgusting after taste.It used to be really nice.Vile.Do not buy it.
Tricky to open, too much fat & very little flavour
Although I haven't had it for a while, I do enjoy Princes corned beef, or, rather I did. I decided to buy a tin the other day. Firstly I struggled with the key, got it most of the way round the can but then the strip of metal just unraveled from the key and I had to pull it the rest of the way by hand. It was very sharp so I had to wind a teatowel round it so that I didn't cut myself. It also made it difficult to dispose of as I didn't want the recycling centre staff to injure themselves. The meat itself was bleeurgh. Just nothing. A lot of fat that I had to scrape off, but no taste to the corned beef. It was very disappointing. Another food memory spoilt.
Strength/skill test
On 2 recent occasions bought tins for a change. The first tear strip broke off leaving only a small piece in the winding key. Large pliers and immense force used to undo the can. The second tin started to unwind but then the opening ran down the can instead of along both scored lines around the can. Two tin openers and a lot of force were required to open enough of the can to spoon out the contents. The opening process does NOT work, the cans are far too strong. I have strong hands, these cans would totally defeat anyone with arthritic hands or weak wrists. Will not buy any more
Would NEVER buy this again
Absolutely hate it - it's worse than tasteless. There's a nasty aftertaste which is a bit difficult to describe.
