tins

[Dadaist]

Tinned food is great.

Yesterday I was effusing to Mrs Dadaist about the excellent selection of tinned meat at the Musselburgh Lidl and not getting much back - I think the jelly that comes with tinned ham must be a love/hate thing.

What is the weirdest thing you have seen/eaten tinned?

What's the oldest use by date you have discovered on a tin in the back of the cupboard?

When we visited Durban, tinned apricot jam was the thing. It was like a paste and was gorgeous - I've never tasted the like since.

What was the name of that tinned meat you had to grill in slices? There was a key on the side of the tin.

Fray Bentos has tested my love of tins over the years but never broken it even when I've cut myself badly. Those things are like landmines but the payoff is just too good. How clever is it to get a pie in a tin!!

I remember my gran bringing round a tin of sausage rolls when I had whooping cough.

Please share your canned memories.

I can remember, many moons ago, having beefburgers from a tin. The brand name was Goblin and, after a quick Google, I could only find their current range. I was hoping to find some pics of the packaging from the 60s/70s.



Yum!!


There was something called "Bacon Grill" that came in a tin and you sliced and , well, grilled. I seem to recall that was made by Plumrose.
I still like tinned corned beef but have to remove the really big blobs of fat.

It was Bacon Grill - thanks ecm.

Wow - those sponge puddings. Especially the treacle one.

All that anticipation during cooking with the added wonder of whether the tin was going to explode.

Licking the treacle off the lid whilst trying not to cut yourself.

Have never had tinned burgers.

We used to be given this with tinned peaches
Last thing I remember eating before coming down with the jaundice.
Still couldn't eat it to this day, took a right scunner.
