Particularly in Sydney or Melbourne (but I'm prepared to travel elsewhere if it's good), does anyone know of any places that serve up a decent hash?
Or it's considered too uncultured? -----

Edit: oh wait, are you talking about this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_(food) ? It looks more like something you'd make at home, rather than go out for..?

It's something you can buy while out, in the US.
I make it at home, but it'd be nice to try it out and see how different variations taste. -----

Yeah my Mum has always made what we call 'dry hash' out of leftovers of last night's roast. I always thought it was the same thing as shepherds pie, but that may just be because 'roast' at our place is usually 'roast lamb'.
All hash is, is leftover meat, preferably a roast, minced in the food processor, with 'whatever' added, topped with mashed potato, and baked. Mum always uses Worcestershire sauce in the meat, and then we pour more worcestershire sauce on when we serve it. It may include onions, garlic, vegetables, cheese etc as you please. -----

You can buy a fucking hamburger while out in the US. It is not a nation renowned for its culinary expertise.

You bake it?
Hmm. When I usually make it, it's corned beef that's basically shredded, if not minced, a diced tomato or two, however much onion I feel like crying over, a few eggs, and some cayenne or whatever else I find lying around that has some kick. In, uh, a frying pan.

Whatever it is it I've not heard of it before but it sounds great. I must try this sometime. I thought the OP was about hash-browns. -----

Bubble and squeak. :)
I always seem to end up doing other things with my left overs and not this. I would be surprised if any cafe offered it - it *sounds* very plebeian on a menu. Interesting question and I'll be curious to know if anyone knows a commercial venture with such offerings. -----

Taz is correct, can't necessarily nominate A PUB, but, the Waymouth Tavern in Adelaide has offered hash in the past, and so has Fenians here in Perth.
It probably depends on the chef resident at the time.
Corned beef hash is usually identified as such Nich, "Hash" is more generic, any left over cooked meat minced, mixed with whatever and cooked as a pie, without pastry, although that can be interesting as well, half way a cornish pasty half way a calzone.
It IS very similar to shepherds pie although traditionally that is made with fresh, not cooked, mince and does taste different. Also a shepherds pie in my world always has a mashed potato topping with nice fork decoration and butter so it browns nicely.
I haven't made hash in quite a while because roasts around here tend to disappear rather quickly, maybe I should buy a bigger cut next time :)
I can't remember if you are still in London, but, as at three or so years ago a pub at the bottom of Bond St, turn right walking away from Oxford St, had a roast one day/Hash the next deal running. I didn't get there that visit but a friend told me about it. Basically you paid for your roast on a roast day and were given a ticket for the hash on the next. They ran a rotation of beef/pork/lamb, not chicken.
A more interesting hash is created if you mingle two or more pre-cooked meats, in which situation chicken is ok, a purely chicken hash is somewhat bland.
When I do have meat to make one it tends to be like this:
Whatever left over meat there is, minced
A finely grated carrot
three finely diced onions
a couple of skinned and mulched tomatoes (or a can)
Stock or some mixed gravy powder (Bisto for preference ;) )
Three large potatoes, thinly sliced
Seasonings
The last might be curry or cayenne or simply pepper and salt and things like a touch of sage or rosemary.
Combine everything except the potaoes in a baking dish, then layer the potato slices over the top, overlapped and brush well with melted butter.
About an hour in the oven at 180/200c until the potatoes are well cooked, curling and a little crispy.
Serve.
Great food :)
A variation if you don't have any left over meat is the same thing with roughly chopped sausages, that's a Lancashire hotpot and does need some curry powder :)
I do tend to chuck in mushrooms and sometimes replace the stock/gravy with a pack of onion soup mix and water, depends on my mood :)
Cheers

Lancashire hotpot sounds nice.
I never expected to come back from the UK a fan of English food, after hearing horror stories, but c'est la vie.
And, yeah, I'm not in the UK anymore, (my) tomorrow is my last day in Claremont. I guess I should've posted this thread a few weeks back; the roast/hash deal sounds like a good thing. -----
