Min is LEGIONIt's probably better not to speculate too much. She/they might be listening.
Nor me.I happily chomped Winalot as a child. Who didn't?
It might be fit for consumption, but you don't want to think too hard about what goes into it.Nor me.
As an aside.....tinned pet food (dog/cat/wolf) by law has to be fit for human consumption.
This is because in the (unlikely) event that it is used in a survival situation (think of an EOTWS eg nuclear war, meteor strike, megatsunami etc) that if you find a can of what you consider to be food but the label has come off........
You can eat every part of an animal. Whether you'd want to is another matter. But then, in a survival situation, who cares?

Well, likewise! (I'm mostly chocolate flavour, with essence of cake).In a survival situation, if necessary I'd eat YOU.
Nor me.

Plus you can eat it straight from the can as (like all tinned foods) it has already been cooked.
I think the only exception being tinned fruits in syrup.
Don't mess with "dogbreath" Min - she has... Powers.

Most tinned fruit isnt cooked as in its raw state it is perfectly edible, in fact usually better (with most but not all fruits) than when cooked, the syrup used also has a preservative effect (along with the added preservatives of course).Why are they an exception? You can't eat them from the tin, or they're not cooked (I was sure they were)?
I'm immensely curious now!
On a side note, manderin segments have thier outer skin removed using acid, when the skin is dissolved the fruit is then washed with alkali to nutralize the acid
Anyone fancy a manderin segment?

Edited for spelling (thanks @Peripart)

I still eat them, i especially like a mandarin cheesecake. I mentioned before on this or another thread, there were a few saturday staff at a pet shop i worked in the went to agriculture college, they visited the pedigree factory and were invited to taste the products.I think I'm going to count this as one of those things I didn't need to know. I used to love tinned mandarins. Admittedly I haven't had one in probably 35 years, but I remember them being so good.
As an aside on the eating dog food front, it's true that it has to be hygienically produced. I had a friend who worked at the Pedigree factory in Peterborough one year and at Salvesen's (vegetable freezing people) in Lincolnshire another year, and apparently if anything went on the floor at the dog food place it was instantly binned. The same could not be said for Salvesen's!
Isn't it brought to a boil in the can, just enough to sterilise it before the can is sealed?Most tinned fruit isnt cooked as in its raw state it is perfectly edible, in fact usually better (with most but not all fruits) than when cooked, the syrup used also has a preservative effect (along with the added preservatives of course).
I was told (and I have no idea whether it's based on truth or just racist thinking) that it was because, usually, what's pictured ON the tin is what's IN the tin, and if you didn't speak the language, and you came from a culture that eats things like dogs and cats, and doesn't really keep pets, then you might think it was stewed dog for humans, rather than food for dogs.
Im not sure, i was under the impression that was things that are cooked rather than in a raw state, for example i know heinz beans are cooked in the sealed cans.Isn't it brought to a boil in the can, just enough to sterilise it before the can is sealed?

It appears canned fruits sre pasturized rather than cooked, this site is quite interesting:

Yep, they are pasteurised by bringing them up to a temperature just under 100 degrees C.Im not sure, i was under the impression that was things that are cooked rather than in a raw state, for example i know heinz beans are cooked in the sealed cans.

Teleported there? How odd.I've just had a strangeness! It seems to be all go in here since I started redecorating and moving the furniture!
I just went upstairs to find my fluffy trousers. As I ran up the stairs and got to the landing I heard a noise from the living room - it sounded like a tin plate falling on the floor, you know that kind of splatty sound they make? The dog, who usually jumps up at everything never made a sound, even though she was under her blanket on the sofa. When I got downstairs again, I found a piece of wood, provenance unknown, on the floor near the coffee table.
I have no idea where it came from, there's no loose bits of wood hanging around, and it wasn't on the coffee table to start with, as that's piled with all the clothes from the chest of drawers I'm moving. View attachment 35575
Here is the plank, in situ.
Not part of a draw or piece of the chest of draws youre moving?I've just had a strangeness! It seems to be all go in here since I started redecorating and moving the furniture!

Not as far as I can tell. I moved all the chests yesterday and they are all stable where they currently are, which is not where the plank is.Not part of a draw or piece of the chest of draws youre moving?
