lol, Same over here Jim.
our favourite is coated in breadcrumbs and frie then served with bubble and squeak(fried potatoes and brussels sprouts or cabbage) with a couple of eggs on the side. although my Dad lost his liking for it during the war after the family spent quite some time eating it as it was the only thing available. He said even SPAM lost it's appeal after daily consumption.

I guess I understand as I like a fried ballogna sandwich every once in a while. I know it's not good for you, but it really does taste good to me.spam is one food that i grew up with,i can eat it as is out of the can,fried,as a sandwich,or not.in with beans.in other words.it's one of the basic food groups for us country folk

I'll take scrapple over spam any day!! I am not a big fan of the stuff myself, but did have a few cans years ago. Chopped up in a pot of beans is tolerable. Just camouflage and if your hungry enough you could probably eat anything

My wife turned some tomatoes into canned spaghetti sauce, a couple of weeks ago. She sometimes makes short-term canned sauces and jams from fruits and vegetables in her bread machine, too.

Just need to think outside the box! Chicken and beef stew make great potpies, just add in a thickening agent. Fruit butters and sauces make good moist breads and cakes. Awesome thing about canned goods is that they are versatile and convenient and you can use the jar for other things.

Canned up 14 quarts of Chicken & Corn Chowder yesterday and smoked 40 lbs of chicken to vacuum seal for the freezer. Was hoping to get more soups made but it was not happening. . . wiring had to get fixed on septic tank and then a trip a couple towns over to get something for hunny. Did get enough broth and chicken boiled up to have a head start for todays canning. I am breaking the laws of the 'higher power canning gods' and canning Chicken Noodle Soup I am using yolk free noodles and cooking about 1/2 way (5 min) in the soup before ladling into my jars.

But you are doing what you eat and that is what it is all about! For me it is a lifestyle; food to eat when it is off season and I am not able to grow it. I do try to preserve enough for a couple years incase I have a bad season. The meals are for those night that I am too busy or tired to cook. Around here, you never know what may happen to come up and to have a heat and serve meal is a great option to have on hand. For instance tonight, I was just finishing up cooking for dinner when I got a phone call from hunny saying that he needed my help because the hotwire went down. He really just needs my ears cause I can hear better than him. So spent the last hour and a half walking fence lines trying to find the short. Our fences have two chargers, so two different issues tonight. Hunny goes back to work tomorrow and I honestly don't want to have to deal with Charlie jumping a fence to get to Betsey now that she has had her calf. Even though she is not in heat, she still gives off a scent that he likes! Tonight it didn't effect dinner prep, but it has in the past and we like to eat around 6 most days.

I agree with danilgrl, we are all doing what we can to help our families stay safe and fed.
I'd like to be doing more, but circumstances being what they are, it's not doable at this time. So I am living vicariously through everyones posts on here. Next year, I hope to be back in the kitchen with a vegeance and canning for England!

Sharing a very good pickle recipe
Lyn's Sweet & Spicy Pickles (Makes @ 7 quarts)
Step 1:
8 lbs. cucumbers, sliced and soaked in pickling lime overnight (I use Mrs. Wages.
1 cup lime to 1 gallon water til cucumbers are covered)
Step 2:
Important - Rinse cucumbers several times until the water runs clean/clear.
Step 3:
Drain cucumbers - let dry for 30 minutes.
Step 4:
Bring the following ingredients to a boil, then add cucumbers and cook 30 minutes or until the cucumbers turn clear (time will vary depending on the thickness of the cucumber - I have made cucumber 'chunks' or spears that require a little more processing time. Caution - do not confuse the tablespoon ingredients with the tsp. ones!
15 cups sugar
3 quarts white vinegar
5 Tbsp. salt
5 Tbsp. onion flakes
5 Tbsp. parsley
5 tsp. red pepper
5 tsp. garlic powder
5 tsp. turmeric
5 tsp. mustard seed
5 tsp. crushed red pepper
5 tsp. celery seed
Pack cucumbers and syrup into sterilized jars leaving about 1/2" head space. Seal & process for 10 minutes (pints) or 15 minutes (quarts).
It is well worth the time and effort!!

I wish I could try it! I ended up getting about 15 cucumbers this year. They usually like heat, but not as much as we got this summer. I didn't make a single pickel this year. Although I did pickle some green beans, with a little kick to em.
