Nakup! I’m a fan of de-lata but eversince I heard the story of my friend’s nightmarish find of a used band-aid in a can of lychees (that brand with the yellow can and drawing of red lychees) and another friend’s chika from her friend from China that Ma-Ling luncheon meat has daga…. I’m staying as far away as I can from these China made canned surprises….

Our best canned dinner-in-a-pinch is Ma-Ling luncheon meat mixed with pork & beans and a lot of garlic! It’s just too bad the Ma-Ling we’re getting nowadays is mostly flour…there was a variant with a red label that had bits of ham mixed in – now *that* was pretty good with pork & beans too :)

keeping canned goods in my pantry is always a priority with me, not only does it make for a quick dinner but its also good for emergency purposes i.e. biglaang bisita or calamities (God forbid). di ba dapat kasama yang mga easy-to-open canned goods sa “emergency preparedness kit” mo sa bahay along with your first aid kit and essentials? i remember in the 80′s when we had bagyo nitang in the visayas and we lived by the canned goods for a while dahil wala kang mabili sa market. wala naman tayong complain kasi nga masarap ang corned beef &/or pork and beans lalo na pag mainit ang kanin. yummy!

Corned beef, pork and beans and Royco chicken noodle soup were staples when we go for lunch picnics in summer on the riverbank in our town in Abra decades ago. The contents of the Royco packet was poured on to a boiling caldero of water, the corned beef and native onions were sauteed in a pan and the pork and beans was spooned straight from the can and into our platesful of steaming boiled rice. After a dip in the water, we go to the nearby cornfields to gather corn and we either boil or grill these for merienda. Those were carefree summer days!
To artisanal chocolatier, kaya nga ‘pork and beans’ kasi, iisang slice lang ng pork at maraming beans. Kung dalawang slices ng pork plus the beans, di ‘porks and beans’ and tawag natin!
