Potted Meat is evil. It is made from pig parts that are uh well, better left
unmentioned.

Okay, this is definitely NOT potted meat.
It also is not SPAM (or any of the varieties or knock-offs of SPAM) - way
too little fat & sodium!

OK, I hate finding and typing in my own label, but I still want to guess.
Cheese dip?

Maybe people need to re-read responses #293 & following...
I second valerie's rejection of Campbell's soup on the ground of
insufficient sodium.
Nothing wrong with handing off the trophy if you win, scott. But it's
not cheese anything.

(Unlike the previously-known "it's a can", there was a far more subtle
clue burried in the my plug for this cf. in agora....)

(Re resp:304 - This item is in two conferences. Which one were you
plugging?)
It's not something like canned tuna is it?

Seven servings per container.
Cooking cf., which i regard as this item's "home" conference.
Yes, but not exactly.
So what is this and what's the clue in agora???

(Historical note: Cooking is certainly an appropriate home for this item
now, but the very first edition of it started out in Enigma, posted by
yours truly.)

No carbo's, so it can't be ravioli.
Like Newton, lilmo's canned meat idea was a big advance *at the time*.
Yes, canned fish (i'd thought that #306/307 sort of settled that).
(Meat is defined both in ways that include and exclude fish, hence
my ambiguous "on the right track" response.)
I've never seen sardines or anchovies in a can big enough to hold 7
1/4 cup servings; the sodium content seems awefully low for them too.
You seem to have a great talent for getting very close, then making
a fast break for parts distant.....
This food has been mentioned a few times in this cf. (very few, if you're
thinking enigma), but i don't believe that it's ever been a mystery food.

His Snordship has it.
Yep, 6 characters long was a clue in that response (hoping to lure some
crossword puzzlers). Shrimp, etc. fit too, but i figured the size of
the can would rule most of 'em out.
Valerie: yep, i said "stumped a bunch of red-blooded American cooks
with this traditional, mainstream food". If you read a few pages on the
history of salmon fishing, you'd be able to spot a huge haul of clues in
that short phrase. References to gurus, etc. sound Indian...and both
Atlantic & Pacific salmon were staples of the American Indian diet (the
early colonists, too). I spewed loads of clues if you look, but they
were pretty much all small & subtle ones.
