OT: Spam and canned meats.

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. Emily 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. ellice |

Yepper! Which is why home cooking is better. You can regulate what goes into the meal. 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". -- Karen C - California www.CFSfacts.org where we give you the facts and dispel the myths Myths, with research cites: http://www.aacfs.org/images/pdfs/myths.pdf Finished 6/5/07 -- Hinzeit "Best Friends" (thank you, Cheryl!)
