Can you get the poached eggs without the hash? I don't eat beef, but would eat the eggs on toast (on Qantas they had someone making fresh poached eggs).
I remember when I was a kid sometimes seeing (and maybe eating) corned beef hash for breakfast. It is more of a diner item; you certainly wouldn't see it on the menu of a 4-5 star restaurant.
