dented or otherwise damaged cans, what do you do?
This article in yesterday's paper caught my eye. Looks like mould to me. But. Forget the sensational headline for a minute and focus on the can. Notice how it's a little blackened around the bottom rim? I'm not sure it shows, but it looks like the can has been standing in wet conditions, the wrapper looks a little wrinkled too at top and bottom. Was it like this when it was bought? If yes, why buy it? If no, then how was it stored in the home environment? Use by date. Usually irrelevant, unless the can has been opened. We all know that once a can is opened the contents need to be used immediately, especially baby foods. She mentions somewhere in the story that the contents appeared "a bit runny". This happens when food is given to the baby directly from the can, (or jar) with saliva from the baby's mouth being transferred to the contents, which then begins to break down the molecular structure of the canned food. This isn't immedia...
Yes. But I prefer chips to fries. The hot ones. Very rarely have them, but ...
ReplyDeleteWhat ever happen to potato crisps or chips those are more Aussie than fries :-).
ReplyDeleteYah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteEC; I don't like hot chips as much as I did when I was little. The vegetable oils they fry in are just not as tasty as the animal fats they used to fry in. I still make my own now and again, but it's kind of a once a year thing now.
ReplyDeleteWindsmoke; potato crisps are still out there, just lost in amongst all the fancy new flavours, which are a little over-the-top if you ask me.
peskypixies; agreed!!!
Yeh love a sense of humour. How come you can't get proper chips any more? And what are you doing eating chips? naughty naughty
ReplyDeleteWhere do you find them? Worth it just for the packaging.
ReplyDeletedeath in a bag....yummie...pass it over here.
ReplyDeleteCold fries in a bag?? It sounds... gross. Then again, so does Vegemite. :)
ReplyDeleteAre they just potato chips that LOOK like fries? Or are they cold fries, all soggy in the bag for real?
Oui.
ReplyDeleteBaino; I haven't eaten them, just bought them to post the picture.
ReplyDeleteElisabeth; supermarkets, in the crisps aisle.
Delores; yummy and salty, crunchy too.
Happy Elf; these are a fry shaped version of potato chips. Crunchy, salty, yummy. Certainly not real fries all cold and soggy. ERK!
Andrew; oi oi.
River weren't they Smith's Chips in the 'old' days. How things have changed. Because of that there is no longer a place in my cupboard for them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the memories.
Cheryl; Smith's Chips are still available, but now they're Smith's Crisps and come in many new flavours as well as the original.
