Red Feather canned butter 120z. / can from NZ is very good. We order ours as well as canned cheese and canned meats from (internet-grocer.com).

50 years ago Plumrose Corp. (Denmark) sold raw canned bacon. I have made an exhaustive internet and phone search for that kind of product and it does not exist anymore anywhere by anybody. We have an Engel MT35 portable freezer on our 25' sailboat. We pre-wrap 4 slices of Plumrose uncooked bacon per meal for 2 people and store months worth in the freezer. We have it with pancakes or crepes on Sundays and as BLT when we can find fresh lettuce and tomatoes. Plumrose bacon does not render away like cheaper bacon does, its worth the price at $5/lb.

And yes, even the 40+' boat crews get jealous when we show up to cook them Sunday breakfast with real, fresh bacon.

Also, if you're having a 'spam sandwich' who needs butter!
