    Corned beef. She says imported corned beef tastes better than the stuff she normally gets. Surely corned beef is corned beef? It all seems very strange to me!

    Well i guess like here in the uk people can tell the difference between tescos own and sainsbury alcarte version some people think they can taste the difference.

    part of its due to better beef used and what have you and part is just in the mind.

    But trust me a 12 pack of corned beef will go down a storm as will coffe and other similar goods

    Also for most they can be stored most of our familes houses have a mini store/disply of longlife goods tins/pasta etc.

    I agree and our lucky me pancit canton is a lot nicer compare to other noodles

    We do have baked beans in the Phils. minus the pork. Can't remember the make but I'm sure we do as I use them when cooking Chicken Afritada to enhance the taste.

    It beggars belief....

    How can the humble baked bean enhance the flavour of any food...???

    I will go as far as having skinheads on rafts, but that only happens once in a decade, when I check the best by date in the cupboard....

    Sounds really interesting tell her to try Argentina if she wants a good one, surely it isn't that expensive back there.
