This is NOT an optical illusion

The scale is accurate.

Since this is what kept me alive at a certain point in my life, my daughter KatieL found this in a store and thought I should have it... maybe for emergencies?

Yes, it's an 8 pound can of Dinty Moore Stew.

HMMmm I wonder if it's available in 55 gallon drums?

It's so versatile, Click  Here  for other suprising uses.

  3. I must admit I'm usually a snob in the kitchen, and like everything made from scratch, by hand, no gadgets etc etc. But there's something very comforting about a can of stew... and that sure looks like a Can of Stew! I'll look forward to trying it out before too long. :)

  4. I would only eat it in a dire emergency. Although my husband claims to have lived off of it when he was a bachelor.

    Apparently it's like crack to this guy...

  7. NOTE: Nobody ever said it was "good". (The eco-Chef's best friend = Catsup).

    Shanlou - After a year or so I discovered it was better after heating it.

    Mouse - Kitchen? what kitchen.. all I need is a microwave and a freezer.

    Swaggie - Hmm, it sorta had that effect on me too except I couldn't find a pink hat. DMS kept me alive too when I was single... when I couldn't get a sweet young thing who felt sorry for me to cook for me. ("WHAT? you're going to eat THAT? Hey, com'on over and have a real meal" ~:<)... one happy Chicken.

    rankyca - the Eco-Chef's secret weapon = Catsup

    Freedom - I have NO doubt... I don't think I ever recall saying it was "good"...

  10. Mouse - Yes catsup replaces boring flavors and replaces it with tomatoey flavor.

    Lisa - I remember when you pleaded to have some for dessert. (But you turned out OK after all).

    • Blueberry Ketchup
    • Cherry Ketchup
    • Cranberry Ketchup
    • Mango Banana Ketchup
    • Mango Ketchup

  14. *Big* can!

    Guess there's enough to feed the chickens and doves, as well as the humans at your compound?! (lol)

  15. LOL, Bert, you are a funny chicken.....

    .... ps ... do you peck it open and pop it on the fire... in the tin ??

    only time I've ever really done canned stew, is when we used to go on missions in the bush for a few days, *NAM* style!!!

    happy day !!

  17. My son will be a resident assistant this coming school term. He has to be at school early to greet the international students and help teach them to navigate the campus and surrounding town. One of his first stops is going to be Sam's...where he intends to amaze them with the massive jars of pickles, bags of sugar, etc. I can just hear him feeding them a line of BS about how these products are created for stockpiling homemade nuclear bunkers, etc.

    I dont know WHERE he gets his warped sense of humor from (whistling innocently)
