Good thread DanO... It is most interesting to see a common thread umong us Baja nuts... DINTY MOORE BEEF STEW!
THAT is what is in my camping box as emergency back up food. I love eating at the local places if I am near civilization... more than years before.
Spam is great for breakfast, lunch, dinner.... Haven't you guys ever been to Hawaii? 
Freeze dried back packing meals (beef stroganoff, chicken & rice, etc.) are great meals... just add boiling water and wait a few minutes! They are
lighter than canned food as well.
Canned beer for the back roads (Tecate, XX, Pacifico) because EVERY time I take bottles and then drive my Tacoma where it will take me in Baja (bad
roads, etc.) I get smashed bottles. Cans will also get punctured, but no broken glass in the ice chest.

Shiny cans were a problem when we pre-ran the races.
We strapped a cooler down tight in the front of the pickup bed, after a particularly wild day of pre-running all labels would be floating and all
painted cans would be polished to a bright aluminum finish.
That always made dinner drinks interesting...
(of course, back in those pre-historic times, many of the cans were still the old steel/tin combo, so the paint did not stick as well as it does
today- come on, admit it, some of you remember when cans were not aluminum)

Liverwurst
Liverwurst and deviled ham.
Liverwurst on a bodillo (I think that's what it's called), yummmm. With a gaseosa. Followed by a couple of good belches. A fine meal, indeed. No
dishes to wash. No pots to clean. This one's a throwback from my earlier sierra backpacking days.

You guys are amateurs. Dinty Moore beef stew is what I pack and will eat if I'm starving and have absolutely nothing left to eat.
If I can't get something FRESH (tortillas to go with the cheese and salsa I brought; fish; fruit), then I get into my canned goods:
smoked oysters
marinated artichoke hearts
marinated asparagus
stuffed olives
salmon in a pouch, mixed with mayonnaise and lemon or dill with crackers
spaghetti with a good jar sauce
stove top stuffing with canned turkey and turkey gravy on top
On a trip last month, I had pre-cooked rice (in a pouch), canned turkey and 1/2 a packet of gravy all stirred and heated together - it was great.
Nuts of all kinds
Summer sausage with crackers
Laughing Cow cheese (no refrigeration)
That will do for a few days until I can get some smoked fish, fresh fish, fish tacos, etc.
PS: beer isn't canned goods.

This has indeed been educational. Until now, I had no idea you could get cheese in a can. Sharks, what exactly does "Natural Cougar Gold" taste
like?

Like cheese.
Pretty good actually. I was amazed when a customer mentioned it. I ordered some and was happy with it. Seems they now offer new flavors.

I should have described it mo betta. My fav used to be Bandon 10yr white old
cheddar. Out of this world....melts creamy on the tongue! Too bad Tillimook bought them out. Their aged wh cheddar is darn good tho. I'll have to try
the new flavors. Refrigerate after opening.

I'm with Diver.....
Now that vacuum sealers have become so inexpensive, my stock of canned goods has dropped WAY off. Only thing left is cans of Herdez Salsa Verde and
Casera, the mandatory kippers/'dines/oysters, garbanzo beans and some Progresso soups as emergency meals. Oh yeah, and baked beans; we are fans of
Bush's (not the first family ). I still make a fair amount of fresh salsa as I
have one of those salsa makers that I also bring.
Canned beef stew????.................EEWWWWWWW!!!!!!!! BARF OUT!!!! But everyone's tastes are different.
Almost every trip I bring down frozen and/or vacuum sealed steak, chicken, asparagus, sausages, lettuces (rare to find good leafys in Mexico) and, of
course, pesto. Lots and lots of pesto on spinach linguini. Most stuff keeps for a few weeks, even if only cool.
Fresh foods are so much easier with the vacuum sealer these days. They can go into the fridge or the ice chest without too much worry of damage or
intrusion. Since I'm NEVER withouth cold beer, I always have cold storage.
Just noticed that Walmart is carrying Foodsaver products.
Cant remember who mentioned the Beaver brand horseradish...it's good, but look for the Tule Lake brand. It's kept in the refrigerated section, usually
around the Claussen pickles and kraut.

I know, I know, we all bring and obtain fresh food. I mean, I brought buffalo shanks and made osso buco the last time down, fer cryin' out loud.
Locally obtained items included fresh tortillas at the the tortilleria in Maneadero, pink cookies at the panaderia in San Vicente (so the kids could
crumble 2/3 of them into the back seats of the truck), oysters right out of the water at the farm in San Quintin, fresh yellowtail and live langostas
from my panguero buddies, nopales out of my neighbor's yard (he wasn't home and probably won't notice any missing), and smoked pork chuletas and that
weird yogurty drink in tiny plastic bottles from Comercial Mexicana.
Then, there's Costco in Ensenada, where I got the world's largest bag of spinach from the world's largest walk-in refrigerator, and a bottle of
Corralejo Reposado (for 175 pesos -- WOW, do you have any idea how much that stuff costs in the States?), while telling my wife that we were just
there for food and definitely were not going to buy a kayak.
But we've all got a can stash somewhere, because of the cold war or our parents or the fire captain who gave earthquake safety courses at grade
school: disaster preparedness means you need cans of stuff with a shelf life half that of processed uranium. Heck, I've got a can of peaches that
has stayed with me through three different houses. Those puppies are older than my eight-year old. Will I eat them? Not sure. Will I throw them
out? Not on your life. I might need them someday.

Bruce-
The cans of B & M raisin brownbread is found near the baked beans in most stores and not near the muffins and sweetbreads which is what it more
closely resembles. It's available in most grocery stores up here.
It's moist and just sweet enough that it really needs no topping, but would be really good topped with butter or cream cheese. We usually have it for
breakfast or with afternoon coffee.
When you're not near a town and have no access to fresh stuff, it's amazing that something so good can come out of a can.
