Classic tinned motorhome food ? (1 Viewer)

[DavidG58]

We always keep tinned chilli, for those days when there is nothing left in the fridge

It would appear we have had plenty in the fridge for a while

Smells fine, don’t think I will mention it to Bev

NEV will be OK with that ,but I don't think BEV would try it.

 

[Lenny HB]

We keep backups in the freezer but with your luck the freezer would break.

Also nearly always have eggs on board so OK for an omelette or souffle.

If it's tinned, it will be fine for at least another decade or two.

We were given thousands of MRE's (British Army: Meals Ready to Eat) in the 2010's.
The food had been packed in 1973 and had a use by date of 1997, but was still perfectly edible 15 years after the 'eat by' date.

It took an entire Scout Group over 3 years to eat them all.
(Food that would have been packed before many of their parents were even born!)

In the 1980's my mother attended a banquet were they were severed oxtail soup as a starter.

It was in big catering tins and had gone down to Antarctica with Scott in 1907 and had been bought back by the British Antarctica Survey for the dinner.
(After the main meal it was followed by 1907 brandy and cigars, the brandy was fine, but the cigars had not lasted nearly as well, smelt like a garden bonfire apparently !)

Tinned or canned - which one applies to beer as a classic essential

Add a few fresh Chillies. It'll be fine David.

However, if the following morning proves somewhat troublesome, just blame the fresh chillies.

 

[dash300]

This is also surprisingly good. Always carried a few on the boat to slice up and grill and do the same now.
Get it in most supermarkets.

 

[jockaneezer]

Saw a Ray Mears program where he ate some tinned South African pemmican that was 60 years old and it was fine. As long as the tin hasn't "blown" you will be ok.

Lidl tinned herring, lovely.

[mitzimad]

tinned food is like wine it gets better with age got to be at least ten years out before we even sniff it

 

[Dorwyn]

Most tinned food I've ever tasted, especially meat, is produced cheaply and is of a very low quality. Taste is secondary and because of its high temperature cooking method it is well overcooked. Dog food is my overall impression. Not that I've ever tasted that. I know many people have their favourites, but I would welcome suggestions regarding anything remotely edible for our travel lockers. Mind you, can't promise I'll ever get around to tasting it, like most everything else in that locker, which has already travelled many thousands of miles. Last tin used was a quite pleasant Tesco chicken curry! Can't imagine its sell by date!

Corned beef, Bacon grill, tuna.

Wha?

 

[Gina M]

Use by dates are rubbish, I once ate 10 day out of date smoked salmon I found at the back of my fridge, ok, I didn't eat it raw I pan fried it and it was lovely, last year and I am still alive, if it smells ok and looks okay don't chuck it

 

[WillH]

My wife is a retired Home Economics teacher and just laughs at best before dates. We eat homemade chutneys and bramble jelly 4 or five years old, no preservatives in them.

 

[Gina M]

Best before dates I always ignore and use by dates, just use your nose and taste buds if it stinks and tastes off chuck out, if not enjoy

Pedigree chum.

 

[scotjimland]

Wha?

corn dog.. never heard of it ?

same as corned beef but has bite

 

[scotjimland]

best before dates.

'best before' and 'use by' are not the same..

I wouldn't eat anything with an expired 'use by date', be it a can or packet.

pasta, for example, has a 'use by' date because it contains egg ..

food poisoning is no laughing matter .. it could ruin a holiday ..
why I never eat salad or cold meats in a restaurant or food from a 'help yourself cold buffet bar " I've seen people handle stuff with their hands then put it back, yuk

There are an estimated 2.4 million cases who suffer from an FBD ( food borne disease ) in the UK; approximately 16,300 receive hospital treatment with over 180reported deaths.

It's your choice.. better safe than ill.. food is relative cheap.. just chuck it

 

[L' Hobo]

Always carry a packet of Flahavan's Irish Organic Porridge from Tesco's. ( like solid Guinness! )

Can be used in so many ways, morning, noon & night!
(Sorry, it's not tinned! )

 

[ManTheVan]

Lidl tinned herring, lovely.

Or sardines in tomato sauce. Terrific supper on toast.
