I checked my camper to see what my favorite canned stuff was, and unfortunately I am unable to tell you because all the labels were missing. The only
thing I remember for sure is Mountain Dew. Sorry.

Beer stuffed chicken
Barry, the concept is that the beer steams while the chicken is roasting, which makes for a very moist and flavorful bird. Plus, it's just cool to
start off dinner by pulling a beer can out of chicken's patooty.
I should have mentioned that the coals should be banked out to the sides of the kettle before you put the chicken on, or you're gonna have one crispy
critter. It also helps to place the chicken on a pie tin or something similar to catch the fat, which will otherwise drip down into the kettle and
can catch fire. (If my grandfather were still alive, he'd keep the chicken fat for later use.)
By the way, what is a "kipper snack" made out of, anyway?
I like Packoderm's list, especially the corned beef hash, but my wife flatly refuses to let me cook that stuff. Says it smells like cat food.
Everyone once in a while when she's not around, I'll make some for breakfast for me and the kids. The cat likes it too.

DanO---------
-----Oh, and your question about "Kippers"---------little filets of Kipper, naturally, and that is somehow associated with Ronald Reagan I hear
Actually it is "herring", and REALLY good with Triscuits, or Wheat Thins, and makes an excellent trail lunch. It totally fills you up, taste good, and
is good for you (so I am told) (sardines, also)---------but nobody will stay within 20 feet of you for at least an hour. That sometimes is an added
advantage.
Kippers--------I love em!!!!

Aaah, yes, my grandfather used to make a big deal out of sitting down with some kippered herring and red onion for a snack. You're right, he stunk
like a cannery afterwards. To each his own.

Open up a can of this raisin/molasses bread after a couple of weeks of camping food and you'll think you've gone to heaven.

Hmmmm. Does that go into a sandwich, or in a blender? I think I'll stick with gorp and an apple as my trail snack.

my list). What's yours?
10. Garbanzo beans
9. Black olives
8. Green beans
7. Albacore in water
6. Whole tomatoes
5. Dennison's chili, no beans
4. Menudo
3. Herdez salsa ranchera
2. Red chile sauce
1. Pinto beans |
Could you please hurry and ask what we would take to accompany the caned foods, because my smoked oysters would give theire lives for a bag of
saltines

You guys are GROSS !
Other than olives and Herdez, almost everything we eat in Baja is fresh.
Fruit, veggies, eggs, fish, shrimp, scallops, clams.......
Then there are the fresh tortillas, bakery goods, tacos, empinadas,.......
And my favorite chicken en mole for $4 US at my favorite little restaurant....
I am SO wanting to be there now !!

Lets see... various comments....
Runner... I've taken the TJ's canned Asahi before as an Intl cerveza to give away - only to receive blank stares. I thought it was an excellent idea
on my part, but learned my lesson, so never again. Good beer though.
Ferna... all that hot sauce in MX and you're using Tabasco from the U.S.? 
I usually try to stay light, but canned goods would ideally include:
- Albacore in water
- Trader Joe's Vegetarian Black Bean Chili ($.99/can)
- Caracol (I think from the Bahia Asuncion Coop)
I believe that I was given the Caracol by a panguero at San Ignacio Lagoon (??? - now I'll have to remember), and dared to open it - among travel
companions - one night when other goods were thin while camped in La Purisima. We were all absolutely delighted (at how good it was - not that we
wouldn't starve).

I always have a couple of cans of soup. Preferably Progresso but any will do for a quick, one pot meal. With Saltines, of course!
