Sqwetrz got me curious and I started googling around for canned

their meats are not the jellied pressed bits, but the whole real
meats. Lots of interesting stuff in there...and if you are
interested in having some
emergency rations stored there are a lot of things in there that would
be quite suitable. The shelf life on these is quite long.

That's kind of cool. Might be good for our earthquake kit.

I had a friend who wanted a little vacation too, and he went to an
island. After a little while at Paris Island he went off to another
little vacation in a place called Lebanon. Bit of bad luck and someone
blew him out of his bed while he slept.. BTW, he took his "vacation" so
you could take yours and feel "at home" where ever your little heard
decides it wants' to... RIP Marine Sgt Steve... you played hard, and I
know you never wavered!

Nothing personal Andy, just sometimes snarks like that in a non-
political group, bring me nostalgic...

I think they're the ones that sell canned cheese and butter too. I've never
tried them but they do look interesting.

Cougar Gold is the only canned cheese that matters:

It's very good cheese. My wife grew up close to there. Note that the
canning does not make it shelf stable. It must be refrigerated:

"Why is the cheese in a can?

The WSU Creamery produces NATURAL cheese. In other words, it is NOT
processed. In the 1930's, the Creamery became interested in different
ways to store cheese. Cans seemed the best option as plastic packaging
materials had not been invented and wax packaging sometimes cracked,
leading to contamination."

Ah, kipper snacks. I've just been stocking up on canned earthquake
supplies (after the 'quake!) and there's a little stack of kippered
herrings (Canadian I think), along with the asparagus and smoked
oysters. The house might fall down, but I'm going to eat well.
