Speaking of canned meats

Sqwetrz got me curious and I started googling around for canned
meats. I found this website that looks very interesting. They say
their meats are not the jellied pressed bits, but the whole real
meats. Lots of interesting stuff in there...and if you are
interested in having some
emergency rations stored there are a lot of things in there that would
be quite suitable. The shelf life on these is quite long.

Passing through customs in Sydney, Australia, they x-rayed my canvas
duffle bag. The agent saw nothing wrong with my 20 or so tins of Crown
Prince kipper snacks. He instead pointed to my rain boots. I said they
were brand new, never been worn. The concern, naturally was agricultural
contamination. I was waved on without any fuss. He didn't even open it
up to inspect them. I instantly felt almost more at home than at home in
America.

At the supermarkets there, they had a shelf full of tins of kipper
snacks. DOH!!! How was I supposed to know? I was expecting the plane to
land on dirt.

I had a friend who wanted a little vacation too, and he went to an
island. After a little while at Paris Island he went off to another
little vacation in a place called Lebanon. Bit of bad luck and someone
blew him out of his bed while he slept.. BTW, he took his "vacation" so
you could take yours and feel "at home" where ever your little heard
decides it wants' to... RIP Marine Sgt Steve... you played hard, and I
know you never wavered!

Nothing personal Andy, just sometimes snarks like that in a non-
political group, bring me nostalgic...

I visited Australia in '96; I wasn't expecting dirt landing strips but was
surprised how "at-home" it seemed. The first thing I saw exiting the
concourse was Burger King. On a drive from Brisbane to Coolum, I was struck
by how familiar it all seemed, though distorted as might occur in a dream.
The highways were much like any US Interstate, except the lanes were
opposite of my "normal" and the cars all looked familiar but oddly different
- for example a Chevy Nova as small pickup truck.

Upon arrival at the Hyatt Resort in Coolum, I showered and turned on the TV
to catch a bit of local flavor; the first show I saw was Oprah, sponsored by
Domino's pizza - I seem to recall pizza and wings combo as the promotional
items, or some combination not available at US Dominos at the time.
Throughout the trip, I was struck by how much I felt at home there and how
nice/courteous/thoughtful the people were; sort of like we Americans once
were. The only thing that was disturbing was, my inability to remember to
look left first, when crossing the street - my failing, not Australia's.
Overall, it was a delightful 11 days, 7 in Coolum, 4 in Sydney. Oh, and I
loved the names of some of the places we visited - Maroochydore, Mooloolaba,
etc.

The wrong way roads were a pain to get used to. That, combined with the
long road trains were a fright. They were cool to watch when I wasn't
driving!!!

Best,

It's very good cheese. My wife grew up close to there. Note that the
canning does not make it shelf stable. It must be refrigerated:

"Why is the cheese in a can?

The WSU Creamery produces NATURAL cheese. In other words, it is NOT
processed. In the 1930's, the Creamery became interested in different
ways to store cheese. Cans seemed the best option as plastic packaging
materials had not been invented and wax packaging sometimes cracked,
leading to contamination."

Ah, kipper snacks. I've just been stocking up on canned earthquake
supplies (after the 'quake!) and there's a little stack of kippered
herrings (Canadian I think), along with the asparagus and smoked
oysters. The house might fall down, but I'm going to eat well.

You're supposed to look left first when crossing streets in the U.S.

"Look left, right, then left again". That's how I've always done it
and it's worked all but two times.

True; I was thinking about them driving on the left and ended up typing the
wrong direction for looking.
