That was my birthday dinner!

This is the only fish Ducky will eat; two piece fish and fries. He does no other seafood. The day we got married, his parents took us out to eat at Red Lobster and he ordered a steak!

Yeah, I have a secret fondness for spam, especially fried over a camp fire.

And I love Libby’s canned corned beef hash. The only problem is that I need to have someone to share it with, because if no one else is around, I will eat most of a can and then feel ill.

I like canned beans, but I think they are real food, and often quite good, not “foods that are good if you don’t confuse them with good food”.
