or poor

99% of people who eat regular hotdogs have eaten it....

I would love to know what the shelf life of that stuff is.


Follow up: Best I can find is estimate of 4 yrs, 900 cal per can. Off a bunch of survival/gun forums.

I will eat hot dogs with impunity. \

I can even enjoy Underwood Devilled Ham. I am charmed that they continue to put it in the paper wrapper when it would probably be much cheaper to print the cans.

I don't think I could manage Treet. Even under duress.

I do not buy food in Big Lots, or in Dollar Stores. I am suspicious of it, even when it looks like real food.

When the Mrs and I were in Hawaii we saw Spam in lots of places, she even was offered it at the refinery she was working at in some kind of sushi item for a pot luck lunch.

Needless to say, Spam and things like this don't interest us now a days but in my child hood I did eat my share of "deviled meats" and Vienna sausages and I did survive.

So, what could you make on the upside with a few cans of this stuff? Some kind of meat souffle? How about a Treet Napoleon (see image) and substitute the Ahi tuna with some Treet slices. Treet Pate and substitut the foie gras with Treet and you have De Treet On Bruschetta or Treet and Peach flavored Ice Cream??? I may have to mess with this stuff after the holidays.

First I will need one of these!

They don't mention the fact that there's more to a chicken than bone and meat. Oh wait, they got it covered with, "edible tissue". Of course if you were eating a chicken, you wouldn't eat the stuff that attached the muscle(meat) to the bone, or attached the bone to bone joints. But when they're done pre-masticating, it is edible tissue... and it won't hurt you. ;)

I had a friend who went to a processing plant where they mechanically separated chicken. His description of it was "whatever squeezes through the holes."

I'm pretty sure I had it at a very young age at my grandmother's house.

And I'm still here.

If you are a lucky economically disadvantaged person, you get Treet and worse all the time in your commodities box. I tried some of it and its as vile as you might expect. I have two more cans pushed to the back of the cupboard to use in case of global warming, an attack on the people by Congress, or an encounter with a Nigerian child witch. :rolleyes:

You'l be throwing the unopened cans at them, then?

I still need someone to explain "Technically Rendered Animal Fat Not For Human Food Use," which is on the back of MOPAR trucks.

Human grade garbage.

If that's the good grade I wonder they putting in pet food.

Well, that explains overweight poor people: that shit can't be good for you. If I were a homeless hobo, I'd be a thin one because no way would I eat that crap. ;) I hope I never have to eat my words, so to speak.

I've eaten some pretty ropey food in my time, particularly when J and I were living somewhat below the breadline. It's amazing what you can stomach if you're hungry enough.

Most memorably, Kwik Save's 'No Frills' beefburgers. Ugh, they were fucking grim. But if you plastered them with tomato ketchup and tried not to think about the contents they went down easily.

I, too, have a can of this mysterious meat substance, and have been afraid to open it. While I've got a bit of a liking for fried Spam sammiches, something about the name Treet sets me off.

But look!

Less greasy, but otherwise it's the same thing as Spam. Hmmm. :rolleyes:
