CANNED BACON ?????

Postby Ken D » Wed Dec 06, 2006 4:01 pm

Greetings and felicitations. Several of old cronies this side of the pond, are doing the nostalgia thing, remembering when we could get canned bacon from Tulip, as emergency rations for home, or in the field. Or as a salt hit over the campfire for breakfast on fishing/hunting trips.
It went away from our market some time back.
There are rumours that your TESCO carries it. One fellow even posted that he saw some in Bermuda. Several unconfirmed rumours are out there RE: sightings in Alaska state.
Is this stuff still out there somewhere? Thanks. Best, KD
PS: I think I spotted some on a Polish web site, but the logistics of requesting a food store here, to order from there, is probably a non-starter.

Hi, Dave......Sketchy details. here is an image from a USA food site..... I imagine the tin over there would look much the same.
I will now be be guilty of posters to various threads on this food item:
Goll-EE, I saw some of that stuff in a store in some state somewhere...I liked it. I think it's still up in Alaska.
I used to get it in a store in California. I saw it on a shelf once at the K-mart. Gee, I loved that stuff on a campfire. ...etc. etc. etc. :lol: :lol: :lol:
The Tulip brand we used to get here, was in the same sort of tin as the image. Raw, salty, fatty, but fun !!! Best, KD

They still sell Plumrose Bacon Grill 170g �0.85 online

I know they used to sell it in the Co-op cos I used to use it as fishing bait for carp and tench.. Must have a look out for it.

Hi Ken D, here in Barnsley our local Costcutter stocks bacon in a tin although its packaged in a flat tin, much the same as say, tinned pilchards.

I'll buy a tin, photograph it, scan it and upload the image for you if you wish?

If he was do you think he'd admit it?

Hi, Mr. Thing !!!! Please do....even though we caused you folks to take away our pink paper*, I think we are still on speaking terms !!
A food importer over here may be able to aquire this product. Sure hope so !!
The biiiiig question: is it uncooked.
*In the 70's our prime minister (Pierre Elliot Trudeau) "brought home" the British North America Act, in preparation for own constitution.
Thanks a ton.........best, KD
