Really ought to give them a try. I was astounded. Many of the dishes
were decent, or even better. None was unpalatable.

Actually, they aren't all that cheap. And they don't taste like they
are. I was surprised to find how well-designed the whole meals are and
how good the individual components are.

I wish I had a garage full of them. When the [censored] hits the fan, sodium
content will be the lesast of our worries. Having food at ALL will be.

(yes, Im one of those people who believe the [censored] WILL hit the
fan....Things arent getting "better" out there....) The Good Ship
America is floundering.

The Dylan song comes to mind...i(f I remember it right)
"Oh, the time will come up
when the wind will stop
and the breeze will cease to be breathin'
like the stillness in the wind
Before the hurricane begins
..the Hour that the Ship comes in.

And the words that are used
for to get the ships confused
will not be understood
as they're spoken
For the Chains of the Sea
wll have busted in the night...
And be burried
at the bottom of the Ocean.

And the waves will pound
and the bells will sound
and the sand on the shoreline
wil be quakin'
And the Ship's Wise Men
will remind us, once again

I have a few large cans of freeze dried meats and eggs that I purchased
from Nitro-Pak. Shelf life is over 10 years, and I've heard they can last
over 25 years without spoilage but taste may be off. I believe they are an
excellent alternative to fresh food in case of a disaster. They are
pre-cooked and can be reconstituted with cold water if necessary.

http://www.nitro-pak.com/index.php/cPath/147_58_85

Pemmican is also a good choice, if you have lots of time for the
preparation. It also has a very long shelf life if made correctly and sealed
from moisture. I have made some of my own, but it's hard to keep enough
jerky around because it gets eaten to quickly. :o)
Since our good lives are so dependant on our infrastructure, we are quite
vulnerable if something were to happen. It makes good sense to be somewhat
prepared with extra supplies of basic needs. Stocking up was a way of life
for the settlers. Canning food could get you by in a bad crop year or could
be used for barter. Today, I like the convenience of just in time inventory
that our society provides, but I also like to have a little insurance, just
in case.

No, incompetent, illiterate [censored].

The statement was in contrast to the men who *did* whine. That the women
*didn't* because they weren't caught up in the stuff they *thought* they
knew. That they were objective, in contrast to the men. But noting that
information would have disrupted your fixation, huh...?

If you want to come after me, and you seem to want to, it would be good
if you at least read the whole thing first. Or had a bright 3rd grader
tell you what it actually means.

I note your shifting addresses. To evade killfiles?

So what are you contributing to the group? Right. Can't stop yourself,

You are right.
The prices are assinine! $5.00 to $7.00 per meal.
One more good reason to pass!

They don't have a content label on the ones for sale on the 'net, at
least on the one site I checked.

I actually went and bought some Spam yesterday. Never occurred to me
but the stuff is perfectly low carb and will keep until the next Ice
Age.

Cooking tip #1:

Take the can of Spam and cut it into thin slices. Toss them in a pan with
half a stick of butter, on medium high heat, and fry until crispy.

Enjoy.

Eww.. but I think my DH would like it that way... I dont care for spam
canned or emailed😉
