I liked the cans themselves better quite a few years back when they were three piece. A lid (end) on each end of the can. You used a can opener on both ends and just pushed the sauce out onto a plate. Now they’re two piece cans where you take the end off and also poke a hole in the bottom before running a butter knife around the sides to hopefully get it to slide out in one piece. Which mostly never happens. I guess that I could dig out the compressor and air gun to pressurize the can from the bottom and shoot it out in one piece, but that’s a lot of trouble. Could be fun, though……
I see I’m not the only one who laments the change in can design years ago, and the resulting difficulty of removing the “sauce” cleanly, now that both ends cannot be opened.
Standing alone, It’s a small thing really, and perhaps petty of me to complain about, but it still pisses me off because it is typical of the “new and improved” (that really isn’t) BS that is emblematic of how things are done in this hopelessly screwed up country. Adding that to a million and one other insults large and small really takes a toll on one’s outlook.
Damn tootin’ on the merits of jellied cranberry sauce, nonetheless.
I never got hooked on the stuff, in the homemade form or the canned. It just never had an appeal. But I always laughed about that can of jelly sitting in the middle of the table.
I love canned sauce. I open one end, and stab the other end with a sharp object (steak knife?). Then I turn it and jiggle the can up and down, makes a little slurpy sound as the pressure releases and slides out for your nomming pleasure. At least it does for me…
Well, that certainly took on a quasi-pornographic twist.
And you wonder why we like that cranberry sauce so much?
How many ER visits are caused by injuries resulting from stabbing the end of the can with a steak knife???
It is a fact of life that things we used to do routinely cannot be done anymore due to the “progress” we have made in society.
Younger generations won’t ever know how to open a beer can without a pop top.
Work with younger guys, every task requires an expensive specialized tool to accomplish. Nobody wants to understand the old ways.
In my teenage years, Ocean Spray canned cranberry sauce and Stove Top stuffing from the box was a holiday food favorite. Always looked forward to eating it.
All I ask if you insist on using Cranberry jelly is at least at least shop for/demand Cranberry Bog Dolphin free jelly this and every holiday season!
