We also have that. I think it would make more sense for us to buy that as I quite often look in the fridge and find milk from a month ago

.

The last time I went to the office, in October, I went to the kitchen to dispose of my workmates stuff in the fridge. We had been unable to get to the office since mid March. Put it in a bin outside and sent email to tell them not to expect to find it on their next visit. So far only one other of them has visited the office since then.

So, still working from home? We're more or less back to normal.

Hell ya it has meat, always did. It's like ham in a can, sorta. Fried up crispy it's like bacon, sorta.
Ingredients:
pork with ham meat added, salt, water, potato starch, sugar, and sodium nitrite

How it works here by us is I walk over the milk fridges and proceed to unpack half the fridge to get to the stack at the back. Usually, that has the fresher date.
But, sometimes, even that does not work. Then, I find a staff member and ask them to check the fridges in the storage part of the supermarket. They then bring out the fresh milk. There can sometimes be a week difference in what's on the shelf and what's in the back.

It's been a while, eh Tim?
Aldi is everywhere now.
We still have plenty of IGA (Independent Grocers - but have the appearance of a chain)
Foodland and Foodworks still struggle on.

For sales, Coles and Woolworths outstrip the rest by a long way; for satisfaction not so much - they are at the very bottom of the pile.

Sure, it has meat in it.

MSM, mechanically separated meat. All the stuff left on the carcass is removed mechanically by machines designed to pick the bones clean.

Mmmmmmm . . . . . . . . tasty.

Well, sort of.

Add enough gelatin, salt and other seasonings and cardboard would taste good.

It was an Airbus A320, so no great loss there.

You're right Bob #1 and Racer. My dad and I used to work at a meat packers. My dad, much of his working life, me, a couple of summers.

Spam is not bad, not bad at all in taste.
