I didn't mean "someone hand". It should have read "some on hand". I didn't
proofread my post..

I've bought Potted Meat, Spam, Corn Beef, Deviled Ham and canned Chicken
Chunks in many places, such as Chicago, Wisconsin, mid-central FL, several
cities in TX including El Paso as well as Las Cruces, NM where my DB lived,
and of course, all over MS and LA. I even bought some in the Los Angeles
area as part of earthquake supplies.

Not doubting buying the canned meat stuff all over, just the term "potted
meat". I've heard it called just canned meat, processed meat, tinned meat,
canned meat products, and certainly remember ads for Deviled Ham in cans
when I was very little, as well as for SPAM. Just never heard it called
"potted meat" - not in an ad, on the radio or tv, or in a magazine, or in
conversation - in the US.

Here in Houston, we keep someone hand in case of a hurricane. Corn Beef
mixed with Italian-style tomatoes makes a tasty dish, served over rice,
bread or w/crackers that my children ate heartily when youngsters. At least
one daughter serves it to her children; and keep all of them on hand as
hurricane preparedness in mid-FL.

I took potted meat on crackers or bread as lunch while in school in MS
during the 30s-40s, and my children did the same during the 50s-60s in SE
TX. Of course, not plain in either case, it was always mixed with pickle
relish, chopped celery, grated cheese,etc. When I am alone, I sometimes
make a salad of one of them with macaroni, grated cheese, diced celery &
relish, served with croutons and a fresh fruit for a easy tasty meal.

Maybe in the deeper south - such as Mississippi or Louisiana - or Texas, a
place unto itself the term is not uncommon.

As a little kid I remember my dad joking with my mom about SPAM - which I
think was more as an aftereffect of his time in the service. We never had
canned meat products in our house - might be a religious/cultural thing. I
still don't/won't use them. But, then again, the only processed meats I'll
do are of the kosher type. We do have plenty of canned tuna on hand, and
salmon, and soups, etc for use and/or emergenices. I grew up in hurricane
zones as well, and understand the value of having a hand can-opener (once
remending my grandmother that with all the stuff she had stockpiled, there
was only an electric can-opener - next day - there were hand ones in each
closet), and food that is non-perishable for a long time, and can be eaten
without cooking.

I think that must be a reginoal language idiom. In all the places I've
lived in tha states, never, ever heard canned, processed meat stuff referred
to as Potted Meat. But, I knew what was being referred to because of my
time living in the UK. So, perhaps us New York, DC, even Florida East
Coasters, don't use that phrase. Never heard it in NM, either.

Spam and macaroni salad = healthful meal?

Certainly, provided it is served with green salad or crudites on the side and
followed by fresh fruit, all of which I stock up on when power outages are
predicted.

Haven't you ever heard of pasta salad? This would appear to be another
variant.

Google is my friend. It was very difficult *wiping sweat from brow* --
I had to type in "potted meat" and press the little button. There were
other pages I could have told you about, like the "potted meat tribute
page." But I exercised restraint.

Google can be your friend, too. In the upper right corner of the
Firefox browser is a search box - where you can search terms on a list
of different sites.

Absolutely. But you can't regulate what goes into the husband when he's
not home.

When we first got married, I was puzzled how he could be gaining weight
on what I was feeding him. Then I found out. On his way to work, he
supplemented my healthy breakfast with a 600-calorie muffin slathered
with butter. He topped off the low-cal lunch I packed with a bucket of
the Colonel's finest. After a low-fat dinner, he'd run an errand by way
of either Dunkin Donuts or the ice cream shop.

It's not that I'm a bad cook, it's that I don't cook the way his mother
did (with lots of salt, lots of fried food, gravy on everything) and my
healthy meals made him feel "deprived".
