That’s a great Maine company!

It certainly likes it from the company story on its webpages:

The BEACH CLIFF Story - Proudly Made in the USA

The BEACH CLIFF brand has been part of the canned sardine and herring industry in Maine for many years.

The Maine sardine industry had its real beginning as a result of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870. At that time, the U.S. supply of the very popular oil-fried canned French sardine became increasingly difficult and expensive to obtain. A few enterprising American businessmen recognized a plentiful source of raw material in eastern Maine and began to can a Maine sardine that was recognized as an equally flavorful canned fish - rivaling the imported French variety. Once the first cannery opened in Maine in 1873, others soon appeared and an important coastal industry was born.

In 1927 Cal Stinson Sr., an experienced entrepreneur in the Maine fishing industry, knowing the superior source of protein in sardines and herring, and aware of the growing market demand for this quality seafood, founded the original Stinson Seafood plant in Prospect Harbor, Maine. Over the years, Stinson grew through its commitment to quality and innovation to become the largest packer of canned sardines and herring not only in Maine, but also in the entire USA. BEACH CLIFF grew along with Stinson to become America’s favorite brand of sardines and Fish Steaks.

In 2000, the BEACH CLIFF brand and its packing facilities in Prospect Harbor and Bath, Maine were acquired by the world’s largest sardine company, Connors Bros. Income Fund. The Maine tradition of quality continues in BEACH CLIFF. BEACH CLIFF is the largest brand of sardines and Fish Steaks in the USA today.

I agree with your thoughts on heat and canned food. In 1967 we were eating C rations packed in 1944, and stored out in the tropical sun. Tasted as good as you would expect C’s to taste. Proper canning seems to survive most anything.

Of course I can see you being real popular no matter what meal you chose to partake of.

You sweet talker, you! {blush}

I see our TNR friend Beauchamp has now been quite thoroughly discredited.

I've got a twenty that says when he gets back to the States his 'fiance' is nowhere to be found.

I hadn't thought of that angle. I like it. It would serve the lad right and could perhaps teach him a valuable lesson in his overall growing experience, should he choose to pay attention.

I have to confess a liking for sardines with ordinary Saltine crackers. Here in Vermont you can get them for .99 cents a tin.

They come in spring water, mustard sauce, tomato sauce, and my fav?...Kippers ( smoked sardines).

Here is the site:

I hope you can order some of these, they are absolutely super!

I hadn't thought of that angle.

The scummy little dog has served his purpose. She'll drop him like a hot rock.

It'll go something like this:

"Oh Scott, I don't know what it is, but you've changed somehow. I just don't think I can spend time with someone who's a trained killer and participated in that illegal and immoral war over there."

Or it will be the classic kiss of death:

"It's not you, it's me. But I still want to be friends!"

13 days left, eh? You're a real short-timer now.

Wherever you're going have fun.

13 days left, eh? You're a real short-timer now.

Yes! It can't come soon enough! Only a little over a week before I start making my way out of this country.

Wherever you're going have fun.

Just a short break to London and other parts of England to cool out, see some shows and hang out with my sister who lives there.

I speak the language and all.

Err...that would be both languages spoken in the UK these days.

Masala'ama! :)

Can’t help ya, but I commend your efforts to keep your soldier’s spirits up!

How about sending him some Fish Jerky and a bottle of Louisiana Hot Sauce?

Smoked Salmon jerky is awesome. :)

Thank you H.G.

Remind me, next time we have a recipe thread, to ask if anyone has a good receipt for homemade Caesar Dressing. I am supposed to consume flax seed oil, and I’m also supposed to avoid soybean oil, so am hoping to make the Caesar Dressing myself with the preferred kind of oil.

Thanks again,
Joya

I hope you’ll let us know how it turns out - how your soldier likes the fish and sauce, how the platoon likes it, etc.
