Hashing it Out II
Tuesday, March 25, 2008 at 08:32AM The connection between Corned Beef Hash and Hiraeth--the saga continues.
Search engine queries for corned beef hash are legendary here at Hiraeth. I don't think a day goes by that I don't have several hits due to corned beef hash. All year long and from all corners of the globe. It's apparently very popular in the Middle East; Iraq, Iran, Turkey--places I wouldn't expect it to be known, let alone (apparently) craved.
During the run up to Saint Patrick's Day it was nuts. A few days before St. Patrick's day a full 58 percent of all hits on my blog came from searches for corned beef hash recipes.
I expected it to drop way back once St. Patrick's Day was over but the volume of corned beef hash hits has not abated--until today.
I am happy to report that, apparently, the whole world realizes that if one is going to use one's leftover corned beef to make hash, one needs to do it within a week of preparing the corned beef in the first place.
I guess more people listen to their moms' "one week" rule than I thought!

Madness!
Heh! I just get lots of hits for Frog Cupcakes, which isn't very appetizing.
