Forbidden Foods

Some of my favorite foods are canned meat. All of them are bad for you. I have known this for all my life. I used to keep them stocked. I never keep them stocked now, but buy them as the craving hits me.

Breakfast this morning was centered around Corned Beef Hash. I just warmed up a single serve can and dropped an egg on top. I bet I have not had this breakfast in 2 years! Guess I will be satisfied for another 2 years. Good stuff!

Canned Sausage. This is a flavor you just do not get in any other way. I have never been able to make a patty out of it. My normal means of consumption is to steam up a pot of swamp seed, that’s rice for you who don’t know. Pile of it on my plate with the canned sausage ladled over it. Good stuff!

Potted Meat. I normally eat this on crackers. It makes an awesome sandwich as well. I try not to think what it is likely made from. Meat by products I am sure, stuff that has been rejected by the dog food factory. But it sure is tasty! I have not had this in I don’t know how long. Just might have to buy a tin or two this weekend.

Vienna Sausage. I eat these more often than any of the others. I usually have a tin or two in the cupboard. It’s the perfect snack, at least for us old folks who find bagged jerky too tough on the teeth. Probably made from compressed potted meat. It’s best to eat them right out of the can. Then drink the juice to wash it all down. They are almost the perfect backpacking meal. You can eat them plain, BBQ’ed, any number of ways. The empty tin makes the perfect spirit burner too! If you want a more substantial meal, vienna sausages make great fish bait too. Tear off a small piece to catch a bream, a whole sausage will catch you a catfish, or just dump the whole can in a crawfish trap, don’t forget to pour the juice in the water, it will help draw your quarry in, wether it be bream, catfish, crawfish, or all 3! Vienna Sausages, the perfect beginning to a meal of Louisiana Lobsters!
