A friend has an old family recipe for a meat filling that calls for
canned corned beef. I have never used this, but have heard that today's
canned corned beef is pretty much just sludge.

What if anything would one have to do with a real piece of corned beef
to emulate the canned corned beef of yesteryear?

I've eaten the canned corned beef many times and not gotten the

You COULD do that, and it would likely be better, in YOUR mind,
but to someone who grew up on the original recipe, it would likely
lead to complaints.

Just use Palm Corned Beef. An island full of Samoans can't be wrong! And anyway, if they were, you wouldn't tell them.

When I was a kid canned corned beef was the only corned beef I knew. I
sort of liked it, though I now know it is nothing like the real thing. I
would eat it again.

Yes. Palm is like the remembered canned corned beef. All other
brands are not the same as your childhood canned corned beef. Palm
costs more, about $3.75 per can. It is available at WalMart but not
with the other canned corned beef. It's in a section of imported
canned foods.

You have to wonder what the heck is in those other cans. Meat by products? Pet food? Greasy grimy gopher guts? Beats me.

Why yes, I have. It's easy. Get two bathroom scales - one for each foot.

My husband likes it sliced in a sandwich.

One can, however, is way too much for just him, and I don't care for
it at all.

I would eat it, sliced, on yummy dark pumpernickel bread with a
light smear of mustard and sliced tomatoes. Kosher dill pickles
on the side completed this sandwich for me.

Most canned meats smell a lot like canned dog food to me, including
Spam. Nearly 60 years ago we fed our dog Ken-L-Ration canned dog food.
That smell memory is something I've never forgotten, and smells the
same as most canned meats.

I've seen things that people made using canned meat and they look
disgusting. Nowadays I wouldn't consider feeding any pet a canned meat
product meant for humans.

Well really it is down to them and maybe not everyone feels the same
as you.

I have always cooked fresh food for my dogs, but that is my choice.

What do you feed your cats?

Funny you should mention Ken-L-Ration as that hits home with me. Back
about 50 years ago (give or take a few years), we had a collie dog. He
had dried food but each evening I would feed him a can of Ken-L-Ration.
I was the one that took care of our dog.

Anyway, Randy absolutely loved the canned food. I fed it to him each
evening and I always thought it smelled so good. No wonder he likes it.
One time, since it smelled so good, I decided to taste it myself.
ARRGGHH! It did NOT taste good at all plus Randy seemed upset that I was
tasting HIS food. oh well.

I was very surprised that something that smelled so good could be such a
bad taste.

I never said nor implied that everyone feels the same as me, nor do I
expect them to. I categorically do not like commercially canned
meats, but apparently many other people do. I don't particularly
like dehydrated foods, but I know that you probably do since you do
dehydrate foods. You have mentioned that you don't like cinnamon and
perhaps some other spices, and I don't think I've ever had a spice I
didn't like. We all have our likes and dislikes, and far be it from
me to dictate what someone else should eat.

For the most part our cats are on prescription foods from the vet,
both dry and canned. However, they get their fair share of fresh
cooked meats, especially chicken and the occasional turkey breast.
Their nutritional needs are far more complex than that or dogs, and
while they like some vegetables, they are almost exclusively
carnivores.

Popie, our one female, likes pizza and spaghetti with meat sauce.
It's a treat for her. The others won't touch it.

I think you meant to let it sit overnight before adding more seasoning,
right?

Just think of too salty canned meat as a charming throwback to an simpler, more innocent, time. Well except for the parts about warfare bringing about the need and the advent of canning. I see it as an interesting historical relic. Nobody has to eat canned meat but people still do. Mostly, I think, because it's like time travel in a can.

My cat just attacked my pork belly. My daughter informed me that the cat was clawing and gnashing at a pork belly I bought today. I guess I shouldn't have left it on the floor. She said I had to throw it away but I'm having none of that. That meat looks fine! I saw no obvious marks so I believe this meat to be salvageable. When I'm done with it, it'll be epic - maybe.

What a lot of folks don't realize is that in combat zones, Spam and canned meats are your special little buddies that help you survive. People can turn up their noses on the humble Spam but I got nothing but respect for the product.

That's a good question. My daughter asked me the same question. It occurs to me that people don't put their groceries on the floor - but I do. I put the bags in front of the refrigerator and then empty the bags. I might be the one that's daft but I've never claimed to be otherwise. This time I got distracted by a pork roast in the slow cooker. Well, that's my excuse and I'm sticking with it.

What a lot of folks don't realize is that in combat zones, Spam and canned
meats are your special little buddies that help you survive. People can turn
up their noses on the humble Spam but I got nothing but respect for the
product.

I used to like canned corned beef but these days it is far too salty. Has
it changed or is it just another example of my changing tastes?

I used to like Vienna Sausage but haven't had any in many years.
I never liked canned corned beef but I still enjoy SPAM, but only the
original flavor.

The "low sodium" Spam is pretty good. It's not really low sodium but
just lower than the original. All other varities that I've tried are not
so great. I'll stick to the occasional original or the "low sodium"

Someone here just mentioned those tiny cans of Underwood deviled ham
too. I think it was Wayne. I bought one a few months ago and made a
couple of sandwiches. Good stuff...old memories....not bad for an
occasionally culinary reunion. With mayo on white bread and tomato
slice, it was a good snack. :-D

> My cat won't touch most human food, except roast beef sandwich slices.

My cats eats canned tuna (in water, of course) and canned chicken, vienna sausages smashed up, sliced lunch meat diced up very, very thin, and as a rare treat, canned whipped cream. I keep a can around just for them; they come running whenever they hear the whipped cream squirting out of the can. They don't care for Cool Whip or real whipped cream, just the canned stuff. I had a cat that used to eat green beans, and another that would eat a little bit of Underwood Deviled Ham.

For the occasional treat....like Christmas or birthday,etc. I would make
the deluxe meal for Mr.Kitty and he loved that so much.

- one small handful of his favorite dry food
- one can of tuna in water, meat and water
- one hardboiled egg chopped up.

All mixed together, he so loved that meal.

The texture is wrong with the low sodium, has an awful mouth feel
(slimey), and difficult to make thin slices that don't fall apart....
I don't mind that little extra salt so I'll stay with the original.

I tried Underwood Deviled Ham a few times but it always disappointed,
the texture is all wrong, reminds me of Gerbers or Beechnut junior
meats... and doesn't smell at all appetizing. For a better ham spread
I send a small canned ham through my grinder using a small hole plate,
then mix the finely ground ham with Hellman's Sandwich Spread and
whatever seasoning you like... a few grinds of black pepper and shakes
of Tobasco devils it up. Good on crackers or makes a wonderful ham n'
Swiss on seeded Jewish rye with lettuce and tomato.
This is my favorite cracker:

I once got a can of corned beef that had gelatin in it like viennna sausage does.

Same with my dog and Redi-Whip, if she hears the can, and she always does,
she comes running.

I never cared for Vienna Sausage, dh likes them, but he hates Spam with I
very much like, can't beat the original IMO too.

I like canned corned beef as well. Spam is ok but it never fails
every time I buy the stuff and make a sandwich there is *always*
a piece of gristle in it. Biting into that just makes my hair
stand on end.

I loved Vienna sausages as a kid, they were a treat for sure but
like you, I haven't eaten any in y-e-a-r-s. I can't find any
that don't have chicken in them. Have they always had chicken
in the sausages or did I just not take the time to read the
can contents as a kid?

That's normal with canned corned beef.
