    When I was young and hitchhiking around the country a can of corned beef and a can of potatoes fried up was a great meal.

    Still is.

    Heck, growing up in the 50's I thought chickens were just necks and backs. Brother & I would snitch apples from our neighbor and Mom would make dumplin's. Ketchup samiches and corn on bread were a staple. Wabbits & squirrel were our main source of meat. A box of .22 shorts lasted half a season (and half an unseason!).

    I remember most of those cans of corned beef came from Argentina. That was a long time ago and I haven't checked to see if they are still from there.


    Back in the late 60's\early 70's I would open up a tin of it (using a key to open) and make sandwiches with mustard. I had to scrape the white grease off the sides.

    I used to think those tiny cans of Underwood Deviled Ham were such a treat. VERY high in salt, though. Crackers and a can of Vienna sausages made up a lot of hunting lunches. Tree stand or duck blind cafeteria food, it was.

    I have several cases of canned corned beef. I watch for it on sale online and in the stores.

    Excellent food.

    As a confession, Having worked in a Grocery store for the last two years (before retiring,) - I bought Ton's of dented canned goods at cost, from the "Closeout" bin.

    I have apprx. 30 Milk crates of cherry picked Canned goods. Yes, cans of Corned Beef, etc. Amongst them. I'm pretty well set.
