    I have a tin of dog food (not for my own personal consumption). Out of curiosity I've just had a look at the 'ingredients'. Contains 'Meat derivatives'. What exactly does that mean? Meat derived from what?

    It's supposed to be 'Superchunks with Chicken'. The ingredients say that 4% of the meat is chicken. Where does the other 96% come from?

    It is the bits that humans wont eat-probably swan or rat-why have you got this tin-times hard?-are you going hoeing as well?image

    It's a useful standby.

    In case of nuclear attack, or civil unrest.

    I wouldn't be much good at surviving on berries and stuff found in hedgrows, especially if it's Winter.

    I ate goat once . image Didn't know what it was at the time but I'm sure I've eaten much worse - like the little flies that you swallow when walking and talking, and the spiders that creep into your mouth while you're asleep. image

    Or if my Broadband goes down, and I am unable to submit my Tesco order.

    You need to be prepared for these contingencies.

    A few years ago-a customer had in the back of a cupboard a chicken in a tin-wasn't this couple- but it was the same product

    Isn't that a lovely story - a couple were given a tin of chicken - as a wedding present. And they kept it, lovingly, for 50 years.

    Corned beef is supposed to keep well.

    If you slept well after watching Saw , think you'll manage tonight. image

    It appears to be untrue anyway.
