They call it the holy grail of ready-to-eat meals for soldiers: a pizza that can stay on the shelf for up to three years and still remain good to eat.

Sorry I will pass on this one...........give me a fresh one or nothing.

Too true, it might (just) remain nutritious but I hate to think what it would taste like.

It probably doesn't taste any worse than most of the home delivery Pizza we have, these days.

No Thanks...My Turkish pals can get a fresh made Pizza to me within 6 minutes of It coming out of the oven and I can have anything I like put on It.

Please tell me.......not pineapple.

No No No Never... Pepperoni, Garlic Sausage, Fried Kebab meat or a seafood, prawns, Tuna etc but no anchovies Yuk

Just hope there are no Italians offended by the sheer Englishness of that selection.

I don't see the problem. I remember buying 5 year old C-rations for snacks just cause they were cheap.

Just think, fresh pizza is normally served topped with soured milk.

Anyway, a novel topping for three year old pizza could be

Swede set to 'disarm' 25-year-old herring tin

A Swedish fermented herring expert has been called to help "disarm" a 25-year-old can of the odorous Swedish delicacy that managed to literally raise the roof of a cabin in northern Norway.

As much as I love herring, that is a bit much for me to swallow.



"If there's any fish left in the can, I'm going to eat it," Ruben Madsen of Sweden's Surströmming Academy told The Local.

Madsen is set to travel to a cabin in the Norwegian mountains next week to help "disarm" a recently discovered can of fermented herring dating from 1990.

Cabin owner Inge Haugen found the forgotten can after peeking under the eaves to find a swelling can of surströmming that had been expanding over the past two and half decades. He reckoned the bulging tin had raised the cabin's roof by about two centimetres.

The find left him concerned that the can might explode at any moment, prompting him to warn his neighbours. Norway's Armed Forces were also notified about the impending "stink bomb".

Surströmming, or fermented herring, is a traditional Swedish delicacy, but its odour is notoriously foul. In the beginning of autumn, it’s not uncommon for Swedes to gather to enjoy the smelly fish at what is called a surströmmingsskiva (fermented herring party).

When you say topped with soured milk, you mean, cheese ?

The Swedes can keep thier rotten herrings, I remember when my mother cooked smoked haddock, smelled the house out for days.
