I'd forgotten about the corned beef can opener. There are tears in my eyes as my entire youth comes flooding back. Whatever next? Spam tins?
The uncertainty of it ending up as a deliciously economic repast, or a trip to A&E, adds a certain frisson to those romantic dinners.

All this talk of lethal food packaging from years ago makes me think I might have a feasible PTSD claim.

No. No . No.
Awful pastry even if the beef was top notch (it isn’t ) full of salt and hydrogenated stuff
Learn to make pastry ( with butter it won’t kill you) and a meat filling . It’s less aggro for better healthier food

The wails of disappointment from the kitchen when it was discovered that the key was missing from the corned beef tin and the armour plated can was going to have to be attacked with a tin opener are a fond childhood memory
But how would you get it into a tin?

They've done away with the key and are now ring pull.

Yebbut.......cooking is the last thing on your mind when you have a Fray Bentos in your sordid "Young Ones" kitchen. Going to the pubs, clubs, and meeting girls is far more important than sensible nutrition at that stage of your life. Long may it remain so.

Bake it in it. Re-use the tin(Unless someone is feeling peckish).

Only some -lots still have the dreaded key...
It diminishes the whole experience if the potentially dangerous mechanical element is removed.
