Canned sardines, smoked mussels & oysters. Tinned tuna and salmon into curry on toast.
Heidi-cat gets 1/3 tin of tuna for a 5PM daily treat.
Foil pouch cat food? Maybe your cat doesn't like kangaroo meat. Neither do I.
I like canned soups with 1/2 the extra added liquid and lots of other bits added.
Fruit juices now all come in tetrapaks, I like the big cans.

Having killed several wall mounted tin openers in the kitchen I took the opportunity to get a NoS Bonzer catering can opener from a army surplus stall and fitted that to the counter top. Works a treat and after about 10 years of hammer I've still to open the spares pack that came with it.

Out in the sticks I use a SAK or one on a Leatherman. Only time I've chopped myself is when my minds wandered while opening a Bully can.
As it happens I sort of collect tin openers, they are often mixed in with the tools on carboots and rarely cost more than a quid or two. Herself has bought me one from ebay ( nthe fish shaped one)for a present and a couple ive got from antique shops for about a fiver. Normally they are in pretty poor nick so i do them up to be usable.
Theres plenty of types to find yet. I'm especially keen to get some of th early ones especially a Timmins leaver knife and a Yates patent.
A awful lot of tripe is written and repeated on the internet but I stumbled on this excellent potted history.

New to me is the concept of can middens
http://www.bedore.org/Cans.html
Which are diagnostic with regards to how they were opened back in the day on the frontiers or by expeditions.where cans were first used on a large scale.
I'll get my coat.
