Recently had discussion online with daughter's partner's mum about things we used to consume years ago which came in tins & wondered how many ladies remember these.

Corned beef - still in tins & I still buy it.
Bacon Grill - mum used to serve with fried eggs & fried day old pancakes.
A&B Roll - don't remember liking it much.
Cremola Foam - lemon. Thought it was such a treat.

A&B roll was spicy ham & beef. Probably didn't like as it was spicy.

Ooh I'm remembering another one, tinned cream! Oh how I hated that stuff. My MIL thought she was giving us a treat. Jelly, tinned fruit & huge dollop of tinned cream. I suffered in silence!

Please tell me you didn't consume dog food CLKD.

You used to get a whole chicken in a tin! Beat that!

Bramble
ps. Still get Creamola foam in tins - I love it! Pure unadulterated sugar!

[Joyce]

Whole chicken in a tin, never heard of that one.

I won't be rushing to buy Cremola Foam bramble. Just looked it up. Says it was popular in Scotland! Why? 

[CLKD]

Would we really know what goes into the cans  - probably horse meat 

Tuna
Mackeral
Pilchards
coconut milk
soup
biscuits of course

I loved Condensed and Ideal milk 

Camping foods come in packets or tins, one pulls a widget, boils water in and hey presto, 8 mins. later a meal for 1

[Joyce]

Don't think I'd make a good camper!   

Condensed milk, yummy. I used to love when my mum made toffee & I could scrape the tin! 

[CLKD]

Oh yes.  It's the basis of banoffee pie 

there was tinned ham which came out with jelly round the edges 

Coco powder
Coffee
Powdered milk
Corn flour
Bisto!

[littleminnie]

Not in a tin but Vesta Curry.

[Joyce]

I remember that ham. Came in a strange shaped tin. Can't remember the name of it,  though think it may have been Old Oak Ham. Mum always had as a standby.

[CLKD]

I think you are right on the name, the tin wasn't quite square was it 

We lived in an area not from from Campbells Soups and Smedleys canners ……..
