Re: Every home should have some....
Do you think in Australia they need to can it?
We were brought up on squeezey tubes of cheese. I'm not sure if you can still get it.

I've seen plenty of Bega cheese in the SM fridges, but never in a can!! Mind you, I've never looked for cheese amongst the canned goods
Why would we need to can cheese in Australia? We do have good refrigeration, you know!!

That's a point, you need fridges for the nice cold F sters lager.
But seriously, I was thinking more of the production process, Rainbow.
Leaving cheeses to mature in "pantry" conditions over here.
But with Australia reaching such high temperatures sometimes, I was wondering if it is canned, rather than left out to ripen. In some sort of way.

Re: Every home should have some....
I know that tinned cheese and butter used to be staples in the tropics and on sailing boats, fridges not universal but mainly because even if people had domestic fridges the lorries, ferries and shops wouldn't have had fridges, so you bought canned and refrigerated when open, if possible
Probably still handy on boats or to keep on standby in remote places
I remeber sailing in the Greek Islands in the early eighties, and the only fresh dairy you could buy on the smaller islands was yogurt and sometimes feta style cheese which you bought from the taverna (which had a fridge) and not from the shop (which didn't)

We used to get what was called camambert in cans in the Bahamas. It bore absolutely no ressemblance to cheese, let alone Camembert.
You can still get Primula cheese in tubes. My guilty pleasure

The last time I looked at a can of fosters, on the label it said Australian for beer. Then in the fine print under Neath it read, brewed in Ontario, Canada. I was so pissed off. Never again.
A bit old but you get the idea

Re: Every home should have some....
Most Fosters is brewed in Britain and far more is drunk there than in Australia.
In fact I don't know if anyone drinks it here any more, or even sold here!!! Just Paul Hogan advertising it as being very Aussie - now far more wine is drunk over here than beer!

Fosters is awful stuff! It is brewed round the corner from where I work, the smell is not pleasant if the wind is blowing in this direction.
