The first name's Dinty….

And the second name’s Moore!

Just as the VW camper struck me in my tracks, so to did the sight of this can of Dinty Moore at my local grocery. Back in the scout days this was the highlight of campout dinners, one that was saved for the last night of camping as a high-level feast to celebrate the camping trip.

So I bought it, and as I hit camp with no food whatsoever, I realized that it was time to eat it. Unlike the old heat-it-over-the-sterno-can-until-edible, in the glory of my 21st century RV I microwaved it. Soon the steamy heat radiated off the heaping mass of beef stew, and quenched the hunger that came with a strenuous day of trailering and camping.

With sodium content high and my health in mind, it won’t be a regular culinary event. But I wanted to say that I do still know the name Dinty Moore, and it was good to get reacquainted with a fine canned beef stew.
