All can recipies?

I think there is a cookbook, although it might actually ask you to brown some beef or chicken. I
think it's called something like "Soup, a Can, a Man". I saw it once at Bed Bath and Beyond with a
way overpriced can opener and it didn't even offer any cans of anything to go with it!

If you search with words "instant" or "quick" soups, pasta, stews, for instance, the internet will
take you to sites that have recipes that list tin after tin (can after can) of ingredients - which
is what you appear to want.

You can always make vegetarian chili, substituting some of that pre cooked Taco meat they sell in
the frozen food aisles of the supermarket if you have to add meat. Start with a big can of tomato
sauce and add a regular sized can of diced tomatoes (including the liquid in the can), a large can
of kidney beans (liquid drained), and a small can of diced green chile peppers. Add a small can of
tomato paste, stir, and let it simmer a couple hours, stirring occasionally; you can also make this
in a crock pot. If it is too thin, add more tomato paste until the chili reaches the right
thickness. If it is too thick, add water. If you like it spicier, you can always get a jar of
jalapeno slices, and add as many as you like.

Pretend the foam tray with plastic wrap is a "can" of raw meat.

Then follow remaining instructions.

come the next BIG depression, a box of canned goods will be worth as fortune!! count on it...and
learn to use it as FRESH foods will be very RARE indeed. This one will make France circa 1875/8
look like a lush picnic! It IS right around the corner as BANKS are even NOW "scrambling" to meet
it. Wells Fargo ( Gov't) is always broke and any business using same for savings or retirement
money are already in the RED!!( sic: one big Hospital in Texas) Check it out!! B-0b1

So, what do YOU make from various cans? Cans, to the best of my knowledge are not ingredients except
in a recycling bin.

You're probably thinking of, "A Man, a Can, a Plan" by David Joachim. But even those recipes have
components that must be cooked, such as noodles or chicken parts.

Nope, but there is a book out there that has "Brand Name Recipes" so that you just buy/add
the packet.

Not quite cans only..... but close.

Hehe. I was thinking of that too. Sat it Linen 'n' Things up here. That was a couple of years
ago though.

Hello Blair - what I didn't describe was the backround for this question. I'm waiting for a winter
storm to knock the power out for two weeks and I'm planning on not having power . I can eat out of
the freezer, but after a week I"m pretty sure it's assumed ambient temperture, hence requirement for
an 'all canned' menu' - Mike

You may want to lay in some dehydrated food for some variety. Jerky, dried fruit, or some of the
packaged, dehyrated foods used for hiking and camping.

There are some canned "tv dinner" types of meals available also.

The biggest problem that you are going to run into eating lots of canned goods is the darned salt
content! It's just not healthy. :-P But, our local grocery store carries some basic veggies in a "no
salt added" variety, (string beans, spinach, corn and peas) and, oh my, the flavor and texture is OH
so much better than the full salt varieties!

I sometimes eat out of cans at work for convenience when I don't want to spend the money on the
cafeteria.

I'd recommend also then laying in more canned soups and stews, and maybe some chili.

Oh, and tuna. <G> If you can get some commercial packages of dressing and/or mayo, you can make tuna
salad safely since you will lose refrigeration.

Ever thought about buying a generator??? There were tons of cheap ones on the market right after the
first of the year in 2000. <G>

I wonder how practical it would be to have fuel on hand to run a generator for two weeks.

That was a riot. Good for the stores to say 'no returns'.

If I were in a known situation, it would make a lot of sense.

You would only need enough power to run a refrigerator and, maybe, one heater if you were unable to
stock up on firewood?

A radio would be good too, but batteries take up less space. <G>

The worst I did was to stock up on cat food, and batteries. ;-) "just in case" <G>

That's not cooking, it's rearranging pre-prepared [censored].
