Dragnet got there first!

Ooohh Yuk! I've just thought of that episode of the Simpsons that featured a hot-dog - a rather disgusting one - and Homer still ate it!

I don't understand this American repulsion to things like corned beef and black pudding. This is the country who gave us hot dogs, chicken nuggets and cheese in a can!
this 'American repulsion'? you know the dietary preferences of 300 million people or just the one you saw on telly?

I've just remembered - it was actually a chilli-dog that Friday (Aykroyd) was eating and Tom Hanks was disgusted by it (hence the lips & arseholes comment). I loved that film! I think I can remember it line for line. I've got to go out and get a life!

I wondered if it was a class thing. She kept saying in a mystified tone, "meat from a can! Who eats meat from a can?" - and I thought, well, the US is famously the country of canning, which is why they have a notable rate of botulism and we don't. But perhaps she has never spent any time with central state agricultural communities and mixes in circles where food is always fresh and delicate.
It could be as they sell Canned Meat products in the Supermakets in the States just like here.

Isn't corned beef quite similar to meatloaf anyway?

when you think about it, traditional english cuisine like tripe, offal and whelks is pretty much the equivalent of a bush tucker trial.

Well I wouldn't have eaten what came out of that can! Maybe Australian corned beef is different than the stuff we get in from Argentina. That was pure slop in that tin! It looked like tinned witchety grub - not corned beef!

I think it had just gone soft, probably with the heat.

It'd probably just been out in the sun for so long that the fat content had melted................

But it was almost white coloured! There didn't seem to be any 'meaty' colour there! No wonder Charlie nor Ashley wanted it! A bit surprised that David and Eric tucked in the way they did!

Soft corned beef is horrible, I only like it when it's gone hard...

That wouldn't account for the paleness though! Sure - I've seen corned beef when its not been in the fridge for a while - but it still retains a reddish colour!

Don't be daft.

I hate corned beef & black pudding.

I'm also from Yorkshire, where corned beef appears to be a staple part of the diet and Black Pudding appears on a full english breakfast unless you remember to cancel it when you order.

No, but I do know a good number of Americans and am aware of what they eat and are repulsed by.

Really, cheese in a can I also hate hot dogs.
Yes, it is called Easy Cheese.... It is actually very expensive for some reason... Like $4 US dollars per can.. I love it..

I read an interview with Gwyneth Paltrow -- where she said she'd rather smoke crack than eat cheese from a tin..
