St. Louis is almost the South. People make that Velveeta/Rotel crap
everywhere, don't they? I bet there's about as much Velveeta/Rotel
dip consumed per capita in Minnesota as in Mississippi.

No, I'm showing my assh0lishness maybe, but are you going to defend
serving Velveeta/Rotel in a crock pot?

I might have trouble catching animals, but once I got my hands on
them, I could easily dispatch and process them. I might have trouble
climbing a tree to get at a bird's nest, but I think that I could
fight off the parent birds pretty successfully. I've eaten speared
bottom-feeder fish nearly raw when I was drunk and hungry.

I might have a bit of trouble surviving "off of the land" if I didn't
have access to a gun with bullets, fishing hooks and monofilament
line, etc. I'd probably end up so hungry that Velveeta/Rotel in a
crock pot would sound pretty appealing.
Fortunately, that's unlikely to occur. Instead, I'm going camping
this weekend with a bunch of other food snobs. I can assure you that
there won't be any process cheese or jarred mayo at our little
campsite on a beautiful Ozark creek, over a mile from pavement. My
younger nephew is making the mayo Wednesday, and we're leaving
Thursday noonish. We're going to have grass fed sirloins, grilled
over hickory wood for dinner. I really do need to do a little photo
essay, post the pix on the web, and put the links on this NG. Only
the food of course.
