On a dare I'm going to list the ingredients contained in potted meat at the very beginning of this article before getting into the story of it. It may gross you out or it may just make you hungry but here it is:
Libby's Potted Meat Food Product
Mechanically Separated Chicken (separated from what?..lol)
Pork Skin (fancy talk for pork rins I guess)
Partially Defatted cooked pork fatty tissue (at a bit of a loss on this one, how do you defat fat?)
Partially Defatted cooked beef fatty tissue (same question)
Vinegar (surprised by this one)
Less than 2% of salt, spices, sugar, flavorings, sodium erythorbate and sodium nitrate.
Ok that's what's in there and what you're putting on that cracker. Sounds disgusting but tastes oh so good..LOL. Now on to the tale of the potted meat.
If you have read my article on Cheese Whiz you met my best bud but I neglected to give his name, Why? I have no idea but it's Chris. Yup we were both Chris and were born within a month of each other. Later on, when in a more philosophical mood, I figured they named us both Chris so that they would only have to yell out one name when we got into trouble. Our mom's were good friends and we were introduced to each other early on in life. We were inseperable and could come up with very inventive ways of trying to give our parents gray hair's and heart attacks.
We would spend most of our time together at his house because of having little oversite. One weekend about 6 months after the Cheese Whiz incident things had calmed back down to their usual level and I was allowed to sleep over. Chris was almost giddy because he pictured a weekend full of rummy playing and bike riding. For me I was excited as well for I had revenge on my mind.
We started the night off with out usual game of rummy while listening to records. While I did win most of the hands he did get to do his Winner's dance a few times. He even tried to synch it up with the beat of the music playing but couldn't pull it off. We definatly weren't Fred Astire bit we did enjoy trying..LOL.
After a while we broke for snacks, mac n cheese with cheese whiz on top along with crackers slathered with potted meat. I've always heard that if you really knew what made up some of the foods you eat you wouldn't eat them. That may well be true for some but not for us. In fact it made the food funner as we'd make jokes about some of the stuff in the food while eating it. At one point his mom even brought down some pickles for us to munch on. Me, I love a good baby dill and can eat them by the jar. Unfortunatly these weren't dill at all...they were sweet pickles or "tweet pickles" as I've seen them reffered to by Stinkweed Pete and Tweetheart.
One bite was enough to set me to gagging and Chris to laughing so hard that he almost choked on his potted meat cracker. I tossed the partially chewed pickle at him which in turn led to him chasing me around the basement with the Cheese Whiz again. The only thing that saved me from a cheesy death was his mom. She had heard the comotion start up and came downstairs just before the cheese started to fly.
After she confiscated the cheese and soundly told us what would happen if he did THAT again she retreated upstairs and we decided that it was time to hit the weights. Ah, boys and their weight sets and all the macho posing that goes along with it. Being 12 and all we would lift a little weight and since we were so studly (in our minds at least) we'd do poses like what you see bodybuilders do. Actually we only attempted to do the poses because we just couldn't pull them off without laughing at each other.
It wasn't long before we got tired out by the weight lifting and hit the couches to requperate and listen to more music while snacking once again on potted meat crackers. By now it was starting to get late and since neither one of us really felt up to making any prank phone calls right then we decided to hit the sack. Translated, we grabbed our sleeping bags and tossed them onto the floor.
While he was distracted I hid a can of potted meat under my bag so his mom wouldn't see it when she came down to grab up any left over food. Best to keep temptation away from us as much as possible. So, we settled in and tried to get some sleep or at least he did, I was just waiting for him to start snoring. It wasn't long after we had settled in that his mom came down and grabbed up the food and left again not knowing I still had a can hidden. It was all I could do to keep a straight face. While Chris was starting to doze I kept checking the clock. I knew his dad would hit the hay around 1am and would let the dogs in before he went to bed. It was around 11pm so I knew I had plenty of time.
Soon enough Chris started snoring, he was always a heavy sleeper, and I just lay there waiting for him to get good and under before crawling out of my bag. I think I dozed off as well because the next thing I knew it was about quarter after 12. I quickly scooted out of the bag and grabbed the can from it's hiding place. Looking around I opened the pull top can as quietly as I could. Once I got the top off I just sat there for a second or two, waiting to see if someone would pop downstairs or if Chris would awaken. When neither one of those happened I decided it was time to strike.
I slow crawled over to Chris and put my finger in the potted meat. As soon as I got close enough I started covering his face with it. By the time I was done he was wearing a potted meat facial mask and still snoring up a storm. Trying to muffle my laughter I hurried back to my bag, got in and zipped up. I wanted to make sure I was in the bag real good before the dogs came in so they wouldn't jump on me much.
I lay there waiting but luckily I didn't have to wait long before I heard his dad get out of the recliner and head for the door. With mounting anticipation I clutched at the edges of the bag, biting my lips to keep from laughing out loud and waking Chris up prematurely. Sure enough the dogs came inside and headed straight for the basement. Once they got to the bottom of the stairs I could see them and saw them stop, sniffing the air. They walked ad sniffed for a few seconds before discovering that the enticing smell was coming from the sleeping bag Chris was in. As soon as they realized where the smell of meat was coming from they pounced on it.
Yep they jumped right on his head and began trying their level best to eat all the meat they could. Of course this woke Chris up and he was thrashing and flailing around trying in vain to get away from his attackers. The more he fought the more determined the dogs became until eventually he fought his was free of the bag. As he's trying to stand up the dogs are jumping at him and knocking him down. All the while I'm laughing like a banshee and trying not to pee my pants...it was way too funny.
Eventually Chris did manage to get onto his feet and started yelling at the dogs to get off of him. He ended up shooing them into the other room and closing the door on them. Once the attack was over it dawned on him that I'm laughing so hard I can hardly breathe all the while pointing at his face. It was then that he touched his face and found the potted meat I had put there. Oh he was fit to be tied at first but then he just couldn't help but laugh about it.
Things did eventually calm back down and with the dogs safely locked away in the other room we both settled back down to go to sleep. Just as I was drifting off Chris rolled over and whispered "you know I'm gonna get you back right?"

Great commentary!!!! I am sooo cracking up!!!
Speaking of potted meat, just today, one of my colleagues returned from South Africa and brought me two cans of potted meat. Hold on. . . I'm reading them right now. . . one of them is a Zebra pate and the other is something called Springbok pate. So the Zebra pate -- technically that's horse meat, right? The can says that it is 42% zebra meat, along with vegetable oil and water. I'm thinking about donating both to the canned food drive bin in the lobby. . . Blech.

Great story, frostyone! And great article.
Maybe partially de-fatted means that they rendered the fatty parts into fat, then further refined them so that it was more pure fat.
I don't know-- but I like potted meat. It was better than a K ration when we were camping!

Tom I have a jar I purchased by accident. I will be happy to send your way! I think they are all kinds of wrong;). IMHO that's the quickest way to ruin a potato salad. I've never had beef salad, is it like a sandwich spread?
Cute story by the way Frosty!

Beef salad is similar to tuna salad and chicken salad, just using beef instead. I can't have anything with tuna or chicken in it. Yes, I usually use it as a sandwich spread. I can't get enough of it.
I did get sick from eating too much potato salad once, though.

My cousin and I used to pickle sliced Jalapenos in a sweet pickle brine. A bit of sweet followed by a kick of hot.
Mmmm... those were some good peppers.

I have had a problem with the potted meat... my wife has stimulated it by gently massaging it to the point of over tenderizing it, and at times it feels too soft and mushy, not firm and strong. It might be due to age, and then again not the right stimulation... what is a person to do?

Yes.. the great shows are gone.. Here in the Boston area there is a television station that has some old shows.. RTV I Spy - Rockford Files - Simon & Simon - they are only on until around midnight during the week and 1am on weekends.. The original Battlestar Galactica, Midnight Monster Hop, Suspense Theatre.. McHale's Navy .. It Takes a Thief.. Banacek, and much more..

Funny, I had DISH for years (probably 10 from 1995 to 2005 or so), and went back to Cable.
They have a Triple play package here (Time Warner) Cable, Internet and Phone for around $99.00.
I get 15mb download (turbo) internet and about 300+ channels including HD in the mix as well. I just dropped all my pay channels as they were costing too much (about an extra $60 or so) but I don't miss em.

I live in a somewhat remote area and when it was first offered the prices were much higher...I'm a tightwad and I really don't watch a lot of TV. Now Dish is cheaper than cable sooo I finally made the switch.

That's impressive...I wouldn't know how to act if anything in this area were turbo.

MJV, that sounds like the same type of package I got but with the satellite instead of cable.
You have sattellite internet? I had a customer who tried that once, the latency was so bad they couldn't connect their VPN to the home office. They dropped it and went cellular dial-up, which ended up being faster.

Frosty - Thanks! I pay $160-175.00 a month.. somewhere around there.. that includes $55 for the Internet 4 IP#'s 4 computers.. scattered through the house.. so when my kids visit they have something to use... I've tried wireless.. and it isn't that great...and Security was my biggest concern with wireless... I have expanded basic with HD - and Comcast.
I wish there was an easier way to compare the stations I have with the stations I would get with Dish/Direct TV...
Do you find any problems - like in the winter (snow) or when it is raining and windy?
I was told that with Satellite it is like the old UHF when it is windy and the trees around the house would move or raining and windy.. the signal would be interrupted with wavy and distorted picture...
Just to keep this on topic.. I have a television 1954/55.. w/ rabbit ears.. and I find meatballs on the tips of the antenna.. work great.. especially when you have hungry guest.. shish-kabob ;)

I just cannot find something tasty, when it has been pre-chewed. I'm a hunter, and do all of my processing. There's just no comparison to that, and the meat you get at the grocery store or out of a can. But on the other hand, some people may find eating wild game disgusting. It's just a matter of acquired taste and what you prefer, I guess.

Me too, Kimmie
I love fresh game, especially if it's done up right. If it's too gamey I lose interest real quick.
I only hunt deer, duck, and sometimes dove. I don't hunt for sport, it's always for the meat. Although I do enjoy hunting, it can be a hassle. It requires a lot of preparation and is time consuming. The worst part is the dressing and processing, but it's well worth it to me.

There are places you can take the deer for dressing and such but you gotta really look around so you don't over pay
Those places are a big no-no for me. I make sure there is no hair or bloodshot in the meat, and trim the fat as much as possible before processing. Plus, you never know whose deer you are getting. I just like knowing that it is my deer, and that it was dressed in a sterile kitchen. I have some trust issues when it comes to my food.

i agree with dressing your own deer. when i first married my husband i told him that if he shot a deer he better walk out of the woods with it wrapped in white paper! lol. of course now, i do most of the processing since i am much more anal about getting rid of all the fat. we had teriyaki deer for dinner last night! yummy!

Great story, the timing was perfect, just this week a Bosnian student gave me a tin of Koksja pasteta, potted chicken, it took me back a little bit when I opened it, because it smelled like high grade cat food, but after two bites on crackers, I was hooked. Spam is cat food compared to this stuff, it is so smooth, it reminds me of chicken flavored butter. Having it smeared on your face would be disgusting though.
