[London] Lox and beigel from the Beigel Bake, Brick Lane

I like a corned beef sandwich using sometimes using the ready sliced stuff from the packet (usually from Sainsburys though), has to be piccalilli as the condiment and must be white bread.

Tinned corned beef is used a lot in the Philippines, especially for breakfast. It’s fried and comes with rice and a fried egg and is known as silog. At one guest house we stayed at all the Filipino guests got silog. Non Filipino’s got cold pancakes, cold fried eggs and cold rubbery bacon. I’m guessing they assumed we wouldn’t like silog. The next morning we asked for it & they were a bit dubious but it became a firm favourite.
