He would also sometimes fry thick slices of corned beef until they had a crisp crust on the outside but were still soft in the middle.
Stanforths also used to sell large smoked sausages called Polony which I can't recall seeing anymore.'"
My dad was also a great lover of corned beef, or "bully beef" as he called it, would just slice it straight from the tin and have it at least once a week with chips and salad and I have to say, its pretty good with Heinz salad cream
