Convenience is King!
Prone as I am to walking the aisles of Tesco wondering what delights the good people in the food industry have invented for me of late, I oft, stumble into the canned foods section to peruse the wares.
I have partaken in many edibles in this form in my time,
Canned Irish Stew - best eaten whilst in the bath drunk as a lord.
Canned Ravioli - best eaten luke warm on a slice of week old bread.
Canned Irish breakfast - best eaten - by someone else.
All of those were prone to my fancy for about a year - whilst I was unemployed and heavily reliant on substances of an illegal nature.
of course times have changed.
I got a job.
But now I'm thinking - Tinned food - there's bound to be refuse out there willing to try something new!
And so my little labradors - I have compiled a short list of things we are yet to see in cans (to my highly limited knowledge)
1: Thai Curry's - What could possibly go wrong here?
2: Lasagne - It'd be pretty much a winner
3: Chow mein - we all know they can come in cutesy little cartons but we want TINS!
4: McChicken sandwich meal with large fries - its a long shot...
5: Chicken Korma - Indian food was invented for cans.
Needless to say, this is a topic which will turn the Yaleys on their heads, and one which will provoke reaction from those back benchers who call themselves experts.
Well we shall see!
(any others would be appreciated)

A newspaper this week carried the story of a man who had kept of tin of "roast chicken" in jelly (the quotation marks are of the utmost importance) since the '50s.
He opened it recently and ate the contents, even though they, technically, should have gone to town on his innards, unleashing a firestorm of fury that would leave even the most iron-stomached among us clutching the white porcelain and praying to the Lord for deliverance from unimaginable digestive agony.
The result?
A refreshing, tasty, energising meal which "went down easily" he said.
Proof, if ever any were needed, that God approves of canned goods.
HOWEVER, they have one downfall....
opened tins cannot be stored in your fridge.
Proof, if ever any were needed, that the Devil is hard at work.
Yours in cannery,

I've yet to taste SPAM. I'm intrigued but not that intrigued. Lets not forget the sweet things either - mandarin segments, steam puddings, semolina. Tell you what though, they should make canned Creme Eggs that last through the summer when the little ovals of chocolatey chocolateness arent on sale any more
Cadbury's Creme Eggs in a can is either the world's GREATEST or world's worst idea ever.
I have yet to ajudicate.
