You can still buy them but they're kind of hard to find. I rather see no
need for them now.

I see canned hams all year, Armour Golden Star is a good one...
occasionally I'll buy a three pounder.

The last time I had a canned ham it was from Aldi's and it was indeed
quite small; nothing like the size of the canned hams of 30 years ago.

Winco has refrigerated ones. I think they are Dubuque. I did get a little
shelf stable one a few years back, perhaps at Big Lots? Husband didn't like
it.

I just looked at Walmart. They do sell a few in store. Not sure if
refrigerated or not. Also cans of chunks. I think the chunks are more common
now, but... Ick!

Canned hams are more available here at holiday time; easter, x-mas, a
lot of people stud them with cloves and coat with brown sugarto make
virginiaed ham. The Tops Market in town carries Armour Gold Star
canned hams all year, usually 3 pounders but at holiday times also 5
pounders... they are excellent quality, I think better than the
premium sliced deli hams, better than Boars's Head and its ilk.
I'd buy them more often but even the 3 pounder is a lot of ham as
there is no waste... once the can is opened they don't have a long
shelf life, perhaps one week in the fridge and they don't freeze well.
They used to be more available but a lot of people started to prefer
the bome-in hams as they think they are more classy for serving
guests, however they definitely have TIAD. Canned hams can easily be
gussied up for service, served hot or cold.

Hormel Black Label is a great canned ham too, US Navy served it:

Expert vacuum-packing seems to have taken their place for the most part.

Is canned bacon still around? It doesn't need to be refrigerated, and was a very
Important staple when we would go camping or checking into a cabin for a week's
fishing. It was really good. It came in a regular vertical can; the slices were layered
inside in a coiled fashion around the sides of the can.

Well, later they actually did use that version (among others). It
stores well. I'm sure we had regular fridgerated ones in the reefers as
well but the section I handled was the loading area for the 'doesnt
need to be fridgerated' stuff. Canned/boxed stuff.

Check that Plumrose site - they allegedly still sell the DAK tinned bacon.

They were Hormel. I recall black label. No, we didnt get 65lb cans
but i suspect you mean the 5-6lb cans.

This is a canned product. The quality may suffer if not kept cold but
it is unlikely it is unsafe to eat if stored a little higher and these
were climate controlled areas.

I've heard of Black Label canned ham but have never bought one. That

DUH. That's just the URL name. The actual link specifed 6-5 lb. canned
hams. Sold by the case. And yes, Hormel (Black Label) specifies
storing them in the cooler (aka refrigerator).

Whatever. Climate controlled to what temp? Tthe MFG specifically stated
it needs to be refrigerated. Buying canned ham for the crew of a ship?
I'd sure as heck store it in the walk-in cooler.

I haven't bought or eaten fish sticks in over 20 years. However, I
sometimes shop at AJ's, an upscale market in Phoenix, as I was looking
for Wakefield frozen king crab. Apparently it isn't produced any
longer. However, while I was looking through the frozen fish and
seafood section I noticed a brand of frozen fish sticks that I'd never
seen before. They were a bit larger than what I remember, and they
were breaded with panko bread crumbs. I baked some a few nights ago
and they were delicious. I can't remember the brand, but I will take
note of it the next time I shop there. I usually take note of
ingredients, and I did notice they were made of cod. Upon opening the
package it was very noticeable that they were perfectly cut sticks of
solid cod. Very nice when you have a yen for fish sticks. :-)

One yen is 0.008 dollar. Can you even get one fish stick for that?

If you like king crab and don't mind the price, you can order
Alaskan King Crab direct from the companies that buy off the
boats. Just google for them. They buy off the boats, process them
immediately then freeze. They ship you how ever much you want in
a well insulated box with dry ice. It's overnight delivery too.
Ii will be at your door 24 hours after they mail it.

I got a 3lb box once (birthday gift from a friend). The ultimate
crab meat, imo.

And this is why killfile babies annoy me. I spent these moments
to inform Wayne of this and he won't even see it unless someone
quotes me.

Casa troll person often writes valuable info but seems to be in
many killfiles. You killfile babies really do miss out of many
things said here.

I'm quoting you but it won't help. Did you know Wayne types all his

When someone says they want me dead, I sort of lose interest in that

It's been a long time since I have eaten them. I don't know what change

Thanks for that, Bruce but you're probably right. No doubt he's

People pick on me too but I still read on. Casa is not just some
troll that shows up for a while every year or so. If you read all
from Casa, this person reads RFC everyday and knows and remembers
all....and is most likely posting under another ID most of the
year.

I think Casa had a senior moment recently and revealed his true
identity. If true, I'm not surprised either. I suspected it years
ago.

Busted, Casa? email me sometime.

Here's an interesting thought. I'm not a big fish fan. I usually
only eat fresh caught fish from the ocean. I rarely bread it and
fry either, I like it broiled with minced onions and some lemon
juice.

Sounds so natural but I'll bet if a chemist took that fish and
analyzed it, you would certainly find many different chemicals
for an ingredient list. Certainly mercury - and the bigger the
fish, the more mercury content.

Not so big on fish but I absolutely love other seafood....shrimp,
crab, oysters, clams, scallops. With all those I like them
steamed or breaded & fried. YUM to all. Needless to say, all
would also have a scary ingredient (chemical) list if analyzed.

[Cindy Hamilton]

I think his point is that you could make it from scratch with a
shorter and more recognizable ingredient list. Frankly,
my "from scratch" list wouldn't be a lot shorter. I'd omit
the maltodextrin, disodium inosinate, disodium guanylate,
vital wheat gluten, and malted barley flour. Nothing wrong
with those last two, I just don't have them on hand. Maltodextrin
is produced enzymatically from starch, disodium inosinate can be
made by bacterial fermentation of sugars, and disodium guanylate
is produced from seaweed.

Really, nothing scary there. A bottle of bourbon probably has
more harmful stuff in it (besides the ethanol).

I have a couple of cans of Spam in the pantry. I think I tasted DAK

It's not something I'd stock for a storm.

Don't think of it as a fresh cured ham. Think of it as a formed meat
product made from ham with an up to 5 year storage potential. Sliced
thin, it works on crackers an such when the POWER IS OUT.

I didn't buy lunch at school. Mom packed a PB sandwich and a bag of

looked foward to a school cafeteria lunch.

When it comes to stocking for a storm I'm more interested in having
charcoal for the grill and ice to keep things cold when/if the power
goes out. Of course I have canned food but a DAK canned ham would not
be one of those things.

When I was a kid, I loved the cafeteria lunches which were a rare treat that
were only available in high school, it was always a choice between food with
my lunch money, or cigarettes. Cigarettes usually won. :)

Oh man...you prefered pbj sandwiches and chips to school lunches?
I'm with Carol on this one. School lunches were almost always
superior to any crappy bag lunches to me.
I know most people talk bad about memories of school lunches but
sorry, I always really liked them. Maybe I had better minimum
wage cooks than most.
>

I always have enough food for an extended storm (maybe even the
current Puerto Rico situation if it was here). During prime
hurricane season (which is not quite over with yet) I don't buy
more food but I do concentrate on eating freezer foods and
replacing them with large ice blocks in case of a long power
outage. If a storm is heading my way, I'll also fill up many
large containers with water before the storm. Also keep a bunch
of cash in small bills to use at stores that might open for a few
hours using generator power.

Boy Scout motto - be prepared.

[Cindy Hamilton]

Prolonged and widespread power outages are rare as hen's teeth
here. The worst in my recollection was the Great Northeast Blackout
of 2003, which lasted a couple of days for us. A few miles west,
the power didn't even blink. We ran our portable generator
a few hours a day for the refrigerators and all night long
for the CPAP.

Now we've got an automatic standby generator that runs on
natural gas. We don't stockpile food, but we do have a couple
of six-gallon gas cans (only one is full at the moment) and
a big wad of cash in the gun safe. Anything worse than 2003,
and we'd get outta Dodge.

I went to a *lot* of different schools, Gary. Dad was transferred every
couple of years. I was also a picky eater. So yes, I took a PB
sandwich and a bag of chips with a thermos filled with cold milk.
Sometimes she'd throw in a Hostess cupcake. LOL

I remember when I was seven and we lived in southern California, I
begged her to let me get tacos for lunch in the school cafeteria. She
warned me I wouldn't like them. She was right. The lunch ladies
wouldn't vary from their routine. I tried to get them to leave off the
shredded iceberg lettuce (might have been diced raw tomatoes, too).
They refused. Even back then I despised raw vegetables but lettuce in
particular. So, I got stubborn and wouldn't eat the tacos. The teacher
wouldn't let me leave the cafeteria unless I ate them. She wound up
calling my mother. Mom told her she knew something like this would
happen and BTW me skipping lunch that day wouldn't kill me.

Of course eating them wouldn't have killed me, either. But maybe I was
smart enough to realize since Mom was paying for it I should be able to
get them sans shredded lettuce. Heck, even at Taco Bell they'd make a
couple of plain tacos for me when we went there. Same thing at burger
places (including McD's) - no problem getting just a plain burger on a
bun. Would it have killed the cafeteria ladies to skip the shredded
lettuce? Nope.

> I'm with Carol on this one. School lunches were almost always

I couldn't rightly say but it probably varies depending on the school
cafeteria. I remember in junior/high school seeing what appeared to be
crappy cardboard looking slices of pizza and prefab hamburgers wrapped
in plastic in that cafeteria line. Didn't look very appealing to me.
