Home again.

Was this the same Rose's that makes Rose's Lime Juice, wh. is actually sweetened lime juice? for cocktails?

Mashed potato sandwiches = chip butty!

sweet green seedless grapes & camembert!

Yep. There was always potted meat in our pantry when I was a kid. Vile stuff..lol

I have seen cans of something called potted meat next to the Spam(TM) in the grocery store.

Oh, you have a good point. Maybe that's it. Thanks.

Does the product "Shippams Paste" ever appear in American shops?

Personally, I've never heard the term in the US. I've heard "canned meat".

Not that I have ever seen... Potted meat appears under various brand names, marked either as "potted meat" or "potted meat product", but I have never seen "shippams paste" on the shelves.

We will see things such as potted meat, vienna sausages, SPAM (in various flavours), dried beef (in glass jars), devilled ham, devilled turkey, devilled chicken, tinned ham, tinned chicken, tinned turkey, preserved sauages, liver pate, and pickled pigs feet in the "shelf stored" meats area. ("shelf stored" fish products are in another area.)

Potted meat is much more palatable than SPAM, imho.

Clearly someone who knew kids made sure there were holes in crackers. ;-))

Erm... I *still* do that with butter on Saltines! ;o)

I honestly don't know! Good question though. If you have/had an address for them, I could write and ask them.

That's been my experience, too. But I guess it's a big country.

And I'm a Gemini, too! ;)

So, which would you prefer? A potted meat sandwich, or something like this -

The only place I have ever seen Shippam's Meat Paste is the local "International Market", which carries foods from all over the world (at a prell of a hice, I might say), I have never bought it there, if I want potted meat I make my own. I go there for things like English biscuits and English chocolates, bulk couscous or bulghur, bulk spices and dried fruits - much cheaper than the regular grocery store.

For the uninitiated. If you want to make something similar, you may take the ends of a piece of ham, grind it up and add mayonnaise to make sandwich spread. The Brits do not add ground pickles as we do over here. I have also on occasion made potted meat from the ends of a pot roast or similar.

I could go for that myself, Juno, except that I'll take the potato salad, and a crisp dill pickle, please. ;-)
