I find all of this except for the olives revolting. The only canned
things I can eat without using as ingredients are canned fruit.

Oh, I do eat canned tuna out of the can sometimes, usually when I'm
pregnant.

Pretty much the same here. Sandwiches are good cold, as are salads.
Cheese and crackers, fruit (though not fridge cold, I don't like that).
If I were in a situation with no stove and no microwave and no fire,
this is the kind of thing I would eat. Not cold canned food. *shudder*

How is it that things you don't eat end up in your pantry? I ask
this as a general question. We somehow ended up with canned peas. We
don't eat canned peas. Ever. I'm sending it with the kids for their
chapel offering at school. I know other people eat them.

I've had things show up in my pantry stores that I know we won't eat or
some things we might not eat within a year. There tends to be two
sources for these things. The first being the kids or friends who will
bring along something and it doesn't get used but they don't want to
take it back with them. The kids are pretty good at not doing this much
but it still happens. DD is the queen of bringing me *different* things
to try especially sauces and spice mixes. That can add up! The second
way this happens is through home canning. Thank goodness it doesn't
happen a lot but it does never the less. It usually happens with
something that we will only use one or two jars but the recipe produces
four to six jars. There are a couple of these types of recipes that
stick out in my mind - corn relish and port wine jelly being two. I
always try a couple of new canning recipes each year and sometimes they
are not quite as expected. Unfortunately, you can't really donate home
canned goods to the food banks so I generally come up with a way to use
the food up anyway rather than waste it.

I think that we used to eat these.

But SO expensive!

I can eat canned corn (regular or cream style), green olives, cream of
mushroom or clam chowder soup (condensed or not), or pasta
(spaghettios with meatballs, for instance) cold out of the can, but I
can't eat most canned veggies at all -- spinach, green beans, etc.,
are just things I'd rather not have than have out of a can.

Let's see, what else can I eat straight out of the can?

Beets (regular or pickled)
Pickled cabbage
Campbell's vegetarian vegetable soup
water chestnuts

Your ideas are good, but I think we are talking about emergency
supplies. Even with a fridge, some of these things don't keep. With no
fridge, stuff in cans might be an option. Especially the olives.

I have my very own weather channel. It's called a "window". I can tell
whether it is raining or not. I have a thermometer outside and I can
see that also.

My weather channel didn't work very well yesterday. I got soaked, a few
times. It was 60F, so it wasn't a health crisis. The second time I was
walking through the hospital parking lot, so if I needed treatment for
hypothermia, I was right there.

I'm OK. So OK. I worked at my last job for 25 years. I didn't make a
fortune, but a computer programmer makes good money. Part of the reason
I stuck it out there was because I knew the retirement benefits were
fantastic. They are paying me *so* much for not working there. My net
pay, which wasn't minor, is now about 2/3 what it was. For not working.
We have no rent or mortgage. The vehicles are fairly new and paid off.
We have no other debts. The kids are all grown up. They don't need a
stay at home mom anymore. So my wife has agreed to go back to work.
She has two jobs. She has actually had the one job for more than a
decade, but it didn't pay. She works about 20 hours a week, and is paid
US$240 a month. The other job is 10 hours a week, and pays US$1000 a
month. She goes here there and everywhere, but mostly in town, and most
of her time is working at home, on the computer and the telephone. I
have lifetime health and dental coverage.

Add to the above list:

Canned ham
Smoked baby clams
Smoked oysters
Sardines
Kipper snacks

Those are items I tend to keep in my locker
for emergency low carb snacking. ;-)

Boston brown bread used to be one my parents
used when we were camping, but mom generally
used the campfire toaster and served it hot
with butter, so that one does not count.

This thread could easily expand into emergency eating with no
refrigeration and no power, and no way to really heat stuff.

How long does canned sterno keep? I just had to toss about 2 dozen cans
of canned sterno (it rattled hard as a rock) out of the storage shed a
couple of weeks ago when I was going thru stuff. I don't really know how
old it was, but probably close to 10 years old. I wonder if there is a
really good way to store sterno long term and keep it from evaporating?

Awesome! So you are officially retired then?

I've got 22 years yet before I can do that, or I can cut 5 years off of
that for early retirement.

If I'd get off my butt and put more into mutual funds, I might be able
to go earlier. :-)

Well done!

Well, that's good to hear, you seemed rather cryptic about your
separation from your job, I was kinda worried about you.
Congratulations, I burned out as a programmer myself, good thing
it pays well.

I understood the "emergency" to be when you didn't have time to heat
something up or access to heat (stuck at your desk, out on a call etc).

And yes, Sterno evaporates even through an unopened can.
We do have a small camping stove in the garage which we
could use for emergencies, but in 39 years we've never
had one that desperate.

I don't eat any of those things, but we keep kipper snacks around for

think I'm not kissing him until he brushes his teeth.

No way to really heat stuff wouldn't happen here because of my y2k preps
I have a few backups. If the electricity is off, I can cook on the bbq
that has also has a burner. If the gas is off, I have a 2 burner
campstove that runs on naptha fuel. If the campstove is out of fuel -
highly unlikely - , I have a nice firepit that runs on wood of which we
have plenty along with matches and firestarter. I've been tinkering
with solar as well and have a solar oven that doesn't require any fuel
other than the sun. We are installing either a corn burner or wood
stove in 2006. We heated with wood for many years and could easily cook
on the stove. So we can always heat food one way or another :) Barring
that, eating food cold isn't so bad especially if you are hungry.

My question would be so many people are dependant on commercially canned
foods but neglect to figure out how to open the cans without
electricity. Homecanned foods remove this problem as does a manual can
opener. My second question is why people think they are prepared for
emergencies when they only use a freezer to store food. IMO you have to
also dry and can food to be fully prepared. That way you aren't putting
all your eggs in one basket.

One can keep food warm over candles and during the y2k scare there was a
homemade stove that worked with candles. I never made one but if you
google there still may be plans out there for it. I think these types
of things are rather prevalent amongst the survivalists.

No, but even if I did, I would eat foods such as canned tuna or chicken
if I were in that much of a hurry.

I spent the first half of my life (approx.) working for my dad in his
carpentry/contracting business. We ate bag lunches all the time; and I
never felt the need to eat any food out of a can that was intended to be
heated. Same with all the times I went camping and backpacking.

You're not really getting the point. You said that there wasn't
anything in your life that was so important that it couldn't wait for
you to heat up soup. You also said something about if someone's job
requires that much time from someone, or doesn't give "proper" breaks
then it is a job to flee, I was pointing out that there are jobs that
don't allow such breaks at convenient times.

Sometimes it can take 8 hours to eat 1/2 of a can of tuna. ;-)
