I always think tuna smells like Kit e Kat

Plumrose Bacon Grill is about 98p from Home Bargains.

1/2 tin will do me and the wife a nice butty each so two meals each for less than a quid (not counting the bread)

It also has a use by date of Sep 2014 so add a few years onto that and Bob's your Dad. Well mine's called Bob anyway.

It does in brine (bleurgh) but it smells MUCH better in oil.

Look it up on youtube - plenty of videos on there showing how it's 'recovered' that'll put you off your food for the forseeable future!

Haven't seen the video but I don't have much problem with recovered 'bits of meat' simply because a quick n dirty look at history shows they did the same thing (without machinery) to avoid wasting any part of an edible beast that was, um...edible.
I grew up in an area that ate sheep's heid, potted tongue and various other bits most folks would go 'yeuch' at, and it all tasted fine when you were hungry.

Plus, we still eat haggis.

Stick with yer M&S tins, Lil - much safer, palatable - and less nausea enducing!

I love that bacon grill- Yep! It's MRM ( mechanically recovered meat)I am in the trade ,I know all about it,I've worked in those places.It IS edible.I love tinned meat, even though I can have anything I want. If it's in the pantry it's there .
If we were REALLY hungry,REALLY ,REALLY hungry would we have this conversation?

If it was a choice between eating bacon grill/ a.n.other mechanically recovered delicacy or literally starving to death then no, of course we wouldn't be having this conversation. But we're not, so we are!

I don't store anything like that to be honest. I di buy some corned beef last year - but that was a result of a mild panic! I know that it would literally be the last thing I ate out of my cupboard. And I did check out where it had come from and everything first, and bought the best product that I could find. That's just me. I like to be comfortable with what I'm eating.
