Traditional Cornish Stargazy Pie vs Corned Beef Hash

Both dishes build on potato, onion, butter and egg, yet they treat them very differently. The stargazy pie is a baked, layered affair: potatoes are mashed until creamy with butter and milk, olive-oil-softened onion and quartered hard-boiled eggs are tucked around whole pilchards, and everything sits beneath a golden shortcrust lid with the fish heads poking through. Corned beef hash goes the other way, frying diced potato, onion and salty corned beef in oil and butter until a crisp crust forms, then finishing with runny-yolked eggs and fresh parsley.
