... In general I've little against stuff in tins. I'm not a great eater of the contents, but I do have a couple of things - just in case, a couple of tins of vegetables, a couple of fruits, a couple of fishy products, even a couple of "finished" meals - like cassoulet or Choucroute. Like the adverts used to say, "it's not because it's already done that you don't have to do anything" - in fact, a little creativity and "adjusting" works miracles, just a little touch of sugar or a little wine or sherry vinegar....and it's a different thing!That said, these things are going just a little bit too far for me!
I recall many years ago getting an issue of "compo" (Composite) rations in the Army, and imagine - a couple of the tins were marked "WWII stock"!
I understand that some of the tins issued in WWI are still perfectly edible. Imagine corned beef from a cow that died almost a century ago....puts another meaning to "best by" dates!
Here are some more "wonders"......By the way, if you look at the prices - well, you won't be in a hurry to order....!
