you can get almost anything in a tin can but I cannot find canned mashed potato anywhere.
for potato lovers everywhere who want a quick gourmet meal in seconds to go with their canned meat and vegetables or hotdogs and spaghetti.
cooked and creamed to perfection in the factory with dollops
of real butter and full cream milk and whisked until it has the frothy consistency of angels breath. no hard little lumps in this heavenly blend.
there is no reason why there should not be a whole range of different mashes mash with onion, mash with cheese or mash with chives.
mash like mother used to make (in a hurry).
Who needs a can when you've got one of these?

You could slop in onto your plate in a can shaped pile.
Dunno why thats a good thing, but it does have a certain appeal.

How do you get 10 halfbakers in a phone booth?
Tell them there's a tin of mash in there! |
|
|
How do you get them out again?
Run past with a can opener! |
|
|
Odd thing, no cans of mashed potatoes. |
|
|
Best guess is that they simply can't be stored that way without spoiling. Instant (dehydrated) potato flakes didn't come along until the 1960's. |
|
|
Re: [phoenix]' link, those do/did come in a can, I have a #10 can that I use for mixing paint in. No idea where it came from. |
|
|
i'm sure i've seen cottage pie in a can, so if the mash stays fresh in that, then it should be fine on its own.
Would be airtight and watertight, so can't see the problem.
Just talking about this is getting me hungry. |

[see link. --admin]
These are in the refridgerated section by the eggs.I havent tried the mashed ones yet but I'm a fan of the hashbrowns. |
|
|
oh no thank you, not instant mash! the only good thing about that was the adverts. |
|
|
Have to agree with [jblack] about the Michael's potatoes .... one of life's simple pleasures. On with my search for _really_ large sweet pickles. |
|
|
do you have the means to do that? |
|
|
Mashes potatoes come in MREs. Not sure if they're canned or foil-packed. |
|
|
waugs, I am not understanding that. |
|
|
He's saying it might be baked, but it's definitely mashes. |
|
|
Actually, waugs, I think they're instant potatoes. That way they retain the long shelf life and all you have to do is add water. |
|
|
Or canned potato skins. + |
|
|
Sure, you could have mashed potatoes
in a can, but then you'd have to eat
them. considering that things in cans
are kinda gross already, I wouldn't
touch canned mashed potatoes. |

Just rang my dad, who is a university professor in a food science and technology department to ask him about whether you can can mashed potato. |
|
|
He thinks that probably with the heat involved in canning you would start to get separation of the starch and water in the mash which would be detrimental to the product. Maybe this is why you can get lots of dried mash products (like Smash). He also wondered if it was just not economical for manufacturers. |
|
|
They have a pilot canning plant so he's going to ask the man who runs it about canning mashed potato. |
|
|
Hurrah for dads that know stuff. |
|
|
[hazel]. can I suggest that one of the first cans of the production line is despatched bleedin' fast to London, marked for the attention of [po]. Twas her idea and I think she needs a can. |
|
|
wow my first ready-baked idea, thanks hazel. |
|
|
No promises! It's just that Dad wondered if they'd already tried it... |
|
|
You can get packet mash (called smash). Simply add 800ml of bowling water to a packet (serves approx. 10 people) and stir till rich and creamy. A sound yummy doesnt it? But dont let the instructions deceive you, this smash as they call it is a recipe for disaster and tastes nothing like the real thing. |
|
|
Po's canned mash will revolutionise the world of quick mash. |
|
|
yeah mash has a tendency to go...well weird if stord for any amount of time. it can start to seperate and go mental. but dont talk about smash, this is a potato debate and smash is herecy to real potato lovers...grrr |
|
|
canned potato cakes..? dont what my mum would think of that. |
|
|
//Maybe I'll post another one in a few weeks to see if there's any change.//are you expecting something to incubate in there or something? |
|
|
It lives i tell you it lives. |
|
|
ooh, a canned mash webcam - please! |
|
|
Or canned mash blog, now there is an idea written in the big brother style, |
|
|
you had it in a jar, I knew that was a mistake. |
