watch out for these illegally imported vienna style sausages from jamaica.... they were shipped to alabama, florida,
georgia, maryland, and texas .. .. so far there are no reports of them causing illness.... but they are not eligible for
import into the united states... . the bulletin gives the reasons why...

Weird that Grace foods imported into the U.S. are a product of Jamaica, while the ones imported into Canada are labeled a product of the U.S.

Anyway, come to Canada. We still have canned mini-hot dogs.
 
I'm still upset with Denmark that they refuse to offer worldwide shipping options for their canned cheeseburgers.

it;s very weird.... .and i;ve never seen grace foods products sold in hawaii.... .. all the things like vienna sausages are imported by libbys.. ...

one of the issues noted about the grace products is most of them were labelled as being produced entirely in the usa... . but inspectors saw something unusual and alterted investigators... and the investigators discovered they had actually come from jamaica....

i get a lot of these usda bulletins in my email.. .. i;m always looking for things that might affect hawaii.. ... most of the u.s. mainland alerts are about foods that might have slipped past the inspectors without being stamped approved.... .. and the mistake was discoverd several months after the food was already delivered to markets...... .. but otherwise nothing unusual was noted....... . but for some reason this alert looked a little more suspicious ....

i don;t think denmark even puts those things in their most basic
MREs...... nor in their humanitary aid packages to air drop into
areas suffering a famine.......

have you ever actually tried one of those?.....i;m curious as to
what it compares to.... .

Not Danish cheeseburgers in a can, but German. This YouTuber tries all sorts of odd packaged foods:

I have not, but I’m sure it's just as delicious as the $6 cheeseburgers you can grab out of the hot oven at 7-Eleven.

i never ate those... ..but i have tried the much cheaper pastrami sandwich at 7-11.... and also gone in and bought ready made sandwiches at 7-11 for a few of the homeless guys we minister to on saturday mornings ....... ... but only after... and only if... we run out of mcdonalds sausage biscuits we buy in bulk before we go out..... . i usually buy the pastrami sandwiches at 7-11 coz i have tried those before i know they are safe.... and for some reason it;s the sandwich the homeless guys request the most........

however..... we discovered several years ago that some of these homeless guy don;t eat the food we bring to them..... they save it and use it to barter with other homeless people for something else.... ... they do that with cans of spam all the time too.... .. it;s why stores in vulnerable areas lock up the spam behind plexiglass so they can;t steal it... ....we don;t take things like spam ot other canned goods out there coz for one thing - a bunch of canned goods in a backpack are too heavy.... ... but a backpack full of sausage biscuits is relatively light.... and they stay fresh and edible for a long time.....

I stopped giving money to homeless people a while ago because I felt like I was enabling self-destructive behavior, but you have to hand it to them; they can get very creative with limited resources.

In my state they figured out that they can buy cases of soda with their food stamps card and sell it to local vendors for cash at a discounted price.

You might actually enjoy her channel, then. She tries a lot of military rations that people send her from around the world.

i know what you mean... ..and i have heard a lot of people say giving to the homeless enables laziness ....and that it is nothing but a waste of time and resources to give to people who might be lying to us about their needs and who might be capable of working... or who might act in a dishonest way with what we give them... .. there is no doubt in my mind that occasionally we have given people food and other things they didn;t need.... .

but i believe scripture commands us to give to those who ask of us and appear or claim to be in need.....not to turn any away..... and to give to them freely without expecting anything in return.... .in other words - to give without reservation..

there is no command in any of that to be sure the person we give to really needs it.... that they are going to use what we give them wisely, and that they won;t misuse it.... .... if they ask of us it puts a responsibility on us to give... .... ... the responsibility to use what we give them honestly and wisely is on them.... ..

hebrews even says some of these "strangers" asking of us .. or needing our help.... might be angels we are unaware of.....
