Do you remember potted meat? The meat pressed into the little cans that once opened could be easily spread on bread. I took my lunch to school a lot and to change it around from over and over peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and baloney and cheese sandwiches, my Mom would fix me a potted meat sandwich. It was cheap and I thought tasty at the time. But, not too long ago I read where it has tripe in it and it is rather salty. I am leery of organ meat. Do you like potted meat?

No, I've never liked potted meat, although my mother would get it from time to time. I also couldn't stand those little Vienna sausages, which were just potted squeezed into a sausage tube.

Vienna sausages are just nauseating. I can't even look at the can at the store.

I seem to remember it was something people nearly everywhere had at some time. My Mum made meat sandwiches from the leftover weekend roast in the 1950s.

Here in India we don't take canned meat. The Indians love fresh meat from the butcher.

I have never really eaten much potted meat, even as a kid. It never looks appetizing to me, and really don't like paté, especially not on a sandwich. I just won't eat it. That would be something for the cats. lol

Like you I ate it as a child. My mama would also make my sister and I a sandwich with it. She put mayonnaise on it too. I thought it tasted good. I haven’t had it in years.

I used to eat potted meat sandwiches, too. I don't have a problem with organ meat but those little cans don't seem worth the price when I can eat a ham sandwich for a little more money.

I have never had any. What I enjoyed was this deviled ham spread but the last time I tried it again I wondered how in the world I could have eaten anything so salty,

No though I was amazed to find canned corned beef to still be tasty. That canned corned beef has to be heart attack material, with all its fat. But tasty.

I tried this one time. I hated it, and have no desire to ever have it. Likewise with those oh, so terrible Vienna sausage things in a can. They are so, so gross. In that slimy liquid...just a big no from me. I will eat some canned meats and fish. Tuna, salmon, clams, little shrimps, even corned beef hash once in a blue moon. I know the hash isn't good for me, but maybe once a year is a good treat. I don't even like chopped, pressed lunchmeats. Just too processed and they usually just make me feel sick, so it's a bit of the real thing or get out the peanut butter!
