    That's enough to make anyone happy that Christmas comes only once a year

    My only question before I order is whether the cans are the kinds that can be fully opened on both ends allowing for the contents to be pushed out whole. I would hate to have to scoop out the contents thus destroying the beautiful symmetry of the packaging. Then again, maybe if the consumer were to heat the intact can in hot water, opening just the top would allow the complete & intact contents to slide out with layers complete.

    Your thoughts about preparation cause me to think back to eating meals out of a can---an OD Green can. If I was lucky I could find out a way to heat it up---most of the time I just ate it cold

    Cold scrambled eggs and ham out of a can was one hell of a way to start the day---we even had canned bread to go with it

    It didn't take me long to understand why I always saw GI's on news clips throwing candy to the kids along the road--it was inedible

    Added in edit: Thinking back to that experience I recalled the trading that went on---especially for cigarettes. We got a five pack in our rations. They were of various brands. I was lucky, I smoked Lucky Strikes, Pall Mall or Camels----most guys didn't want them so I could make a deal---on occasion I could even do a two for one

    That reminds me of a really fine movie — King Rat — featuring bartering in a WWII Japanese prisoner of war camp. George Seagel should have been considered for an Academy Award for his portrayal of the title character imho. The movie was adapted from James Clavell’s first book. My mind wanders with advancing age...sorry.

    Based on your post, I watched King Rat last night. It left me with a lot of questions and I'm still processing it. I think I need to read the book!

    There's a big lump in the middle, looks like it has teeth in it...I'd remove that before it goes in the oven...You wouldn't want to scare any of your dinner guests......Ben
