Campbell’s Kangaroo Tail Soup!
B&M’s canned brown bread is good. The family has been buying it since I was a kid.
A real old New England treat.
I never tried it, but they do have the best canned baked beans.
Yum.
B&M Bread....Good with their beans, good toasted and with a smear of butter and Philadelphia Cream Cheese.
Surströmming
We had some last year. Unfortunately, I waited too long to try it & it molded. How does it taste?
It’s great smothered in Irish butter.
Canned conch, known as scungilli, is available at our local Italian deli. I like it, even though it’s expensive.
It’s great. It’s a deep, rich, molasses bread.
Wait, what? :-))
I was the only one who ate every can of fruit cake I could get hold of and when I had gotten all the ones I could from people just wanting to get rid of them, then I would trade my peaches for more.
Yup...it’s worth a try for anyone who never had it.
I don’t know if you can get it outside the northeast?
Many, many moons ago I was working the early, early shift at the Safeway Grocery Store. There were hardly any customers in the store yet. As I walked by the dog food section, something just appeared out of wack. This older Asian woman was putting ALL of the canned dog food into her cart. This was back when they sold 46 ounce cans of dog food.
I finally realized what was wrong. When you see a can of corn, what appears on the label? Yes, corn. What appears on a can of beans? Yes, beans.
Well, what is on the label of the dog food? The head of a dog! This lady thought, hoped, she was buying dog. She did not know much English, so I attempted to translate the can’s ingredients. When she finally figured out what I was trying to communicate, she was horrified at what she almost purchased.
Canned mushrooms are a billion dollar business.
Someone is eating them.
"Fermented shark contains a large amount of ammonia and has a strong smell, similar to that of many cleaning products. It is often served in tiny cubes on toothpicks. Those new to it may gag involuntarily at the first attempt to eat it because of the high ammonia content.[2] First-timers are sometimes advised to pinch their nose while taking the first bite, as the odor is much stronger than the taste. It is often eaten with a shot of the local spirit, a type of akvavit called brennivín.[3]
Hákarl comes in two varieties: chewy and reddish glerhákarl ([ˈklɛːrˌhauːˌkʰa(r)tl̥], lit. "glassy shark") from the belly, and white and soft skyrhákarl ([ˈscɪːr-], lit. "skyr shark") from the body. "
Good night!
