Couldn't find it, but saw this: Hot Can Christmas Dinner: http://tinyurl.com/mk6ovzr In any case I can't seem to find either of them available for purchase in the USA. |

Possibly the scariest part: "Meanwhile, research for Asda supermarkets shows the average Briton can't cook a perfect Christmas dinner until they are 36 years old" |

Our Ace Hardware had some stuff like this. Soup and perhaps chili. I didn't pay a lot of attention to them to see the different kinds of foods. I was just curious as to how they worked. But given that they were around $5 each, I passed. I'm fine with eating cold soup if I have to. |

Invite some people over for Christmas dinner and have a can of this sitting on a plate for each at the dining room table. But of course, have the real meal waiting in the wings. As nasty as it sounds, I'll try to buy one and really eat it, or at least give it a try. It's such a strange idea, I'd go for it. I wonder how it compares to a MRE? More likely, it would be more like an old WW2 C-Ration meal. Also, looking at the picture of what's inside.....what's with the top layer - scrambled egg and bacon??? Is this a traditional side for a UK Christmas dinner? G. |

From what I've read over the years, the Brits are well known for their sense of humor, especially practical jokes. Christmas dinner in a can is so funny to me. I'll *have* to buy one. Actually I'll buy two. One to eat and one to save. Thanks for that, sf! ![]() G. |
