What is B&M bread? Does it last forever? :D

B&M brown bread comes in a can, made with molasses and comes with or without raisins
There is an expiration date on the can but I figure it’s good for ten years at least.

For white rice I go to the Asian market and get a 10 lb bag. When I get home I split it into 1 gallon food saver bags and vacuum seal them. I put the bags into a freezer for 1 week to kill any bug eggs.

We also freeze bags of flour for a week for the same reason.

Thank you!

First I’ve heard of it.

Is the Asian market 10# bag cheaper than Sam’s or Walmart’s 10# bag?

I like to toast it in a frying pan and smother it in butter.
It also goes great buried in baked beans.
Eating it raw from the can...not so good.

No but Sams and Walmart are usually California or Texas rice.

I prefer Thai Jasmine rice for the flavor. The Asian markets usually have the crop year on the bag so you know you’re getting the freshest stuff.

I’m not even Asian but I’m a rice snob.

Rice snob.... ;-)

We don’t even eat rice, typically.

But....we DO have some nice stores of TX/CA rice, that I wouldn’t hesitate to cook up.

Good list.

But what will young people do?

Most of them live on fast food and don’t know how to cook or bake.

Thanks for reminding me of that bread.

Haven’t had it in ages.

We inherited some stuff from my uncle (like 40 years ago). He had sugar stored in glass containers and bars of soap all over the place. The soap was pre-WWII labeled (that would made it than like 50 years old). The sugar was from that time probably too. Both were OK.
Just to be safe, we used the sugar boiled. Took us quite a while to consume it all, good as new.

That’s amazing. We had some old spices, of my grandmothers, in old tins.....still looked and smelled great.

I would love to see those WWII era soap bars! Talk about a walk back in time.

I’m guessing they are about to get really busy.
They almost got shut down a few years back because the railroad didn’t want to maintain or deal with the line that went to their cannery.
I guess they sorted it out.

Are you meaning dehydrate the ham, into jerky?

Will have to try that.

Do you do yours in an oven? A dehydrator?

SPAM gives more calories, cheaper, than any food I can think of.

And it keeps for at least 30 years.

Stay away from coconut oil. Saffolla oil is better. It is higher in healthy monounsaturates than any leading oil.
Lower in saturated fats than soybean, corn, sunflower and olive oil, Saffola is also an excellent source of the natural antioxidant Vitamin E. It has a smoke point of 510 Β°F.

Diced spam in a pot of beans can make a difference from bland to tasty
