Now it's my turn - Can't find our tin opener, what to do?

[Raikiri]

44 Magnum ought to make short work of it.

If you're feeling rather hungry
There's a product you'll remember
Eat it hot or cold on Sunday
Or you can put it in a blender
Corned beef
With chips or with salad It's corned beef
Even Buckingham Palace eats corned beef
Hey! Why don't you try corned beef hash

Genuinely didn't think of that.

Glad to help - it looks like we're in a minority of those who enjoy the sweet flavour of tinned meats.

You got to be joking me.

A fork.??? just wind the nub around a prong a bit then open as normal....

also how could you not think of anything of this i thought you were a radio/tinker/normal man

A fork is likely too big to rotate in an effective way without pulling off the bit you've wound on.

 

[ttaskmaster]

Don't you, or anybody within shouting range, have a Swiss Army™ knife, a P-38 or P-51?

That's just pathetic....

Man up and get gnawing away with your teeth!!!!!!

You're right of course.

I can do .44 or .357 but unfortunately, the meat might be inedible afterwards.

(yes, the .357 has my name on it. My logic is that if I've got the bullet with my name on it, nobody else has)

You got to be joking me.

Seriously didn't think of it. First thought was a tin opener and then when I couldn't find one, minor panic set in

also how could you not think of anything of this i thought you were a radio/tinker/normal man

I know, right. See above. With hindsight, I've got plenty of tools I could have used and I think that either one or both of my Leathermans might even have a tin opener.

I could even have mixed some thermite but that might have been overkill.

Ordinary tin opener usually works on the fat end.

 

[pp111]

pliers?

That works too.

Most inappropriate device I have ever used on a food product was a toaster. When I was a kid it seemed logical to me to just pop some fish fingers in there. That was the end of that toaster.

Drop it of a high roof on to concrete.

 

[Deleted User 298457]

Put it in the microwave.

Mole Grips. Secateurs.

What's the thread title?

 

[cheesyboy]

Corned beef thickly sliced
English Mustard
Sliced pickled gherkins
Sliced cherry tomatoes
In seeded bread

Just about my favourite sandwich.

Sir. I have personally feasted on keyless corned beef with the fork method

 

[Feek]

In seeded bread

Always seedy home baked bread.
