There's a ton of online resources on that, The National Center for Home Food Preservation- Canning PotatoesHow to Make Homemade Canned PotatoesNo, but with one of these you could entertain yourself for hours. I'm gonna be canning tuna, albacore and yellowfin, soon. As well as sardines and anchovies. The Spanish, French, Italians, and Portuguese can sardines, anchovies, and tuna packed in olive oil in glass jars and if you ever get a chance try them do so. They're pricey but super premium. My home canned versions are every bit as good. Gonna do some Chinook salmon again too, some just canned, some that has been lightly smoked then canned.

Which can still be home cooked from raw ingredients faster and cheaper than buying the ultra processed pre packaged corporate stuff which is often made in China unfortunately.
takes me 2 secs, to toss pizza in oven- zero time, zero energy involved.
Some of us think that refueling should be done with the best ingredients, and see it as a sport to make the best food we'll enjoy the most. Especially using wild caught animal proteins.
ah..."some think" is exactly right- opinions, are subjective, making them neither right nor wrong just opinions.....

You are contradicting yourself,
No, there was a lot of time and energy involved since you had to buy that pizza......................
Unless I go to the little independent pizzeria for their lunch buffet deal I make my own pizzas from scratch, lot of variations on that too.
Why not can and use fresh product, each have different uses. I like the canned potatoes for the overnight forays, either in the woods or on the ocean. They serve well as the potatoes in the chorizo, egg, and potatoes we like to wrap up in a warm flour tortilla.
And, as we've learned, some are forced to use ultra processed dried potato-like flakes since fresh locally grown potatoes are no longer available because those big multinational agribusiness corporations have vacuumed up all the surrounding cropland to grow corn and soy to supply the massive government programs they created to benefit themselves and sell the excess to the ChiComs.

We were horribly late this spring with our garden but have been enjoying my early baby red Norland spuds for about 2 weeks now. The onions are ready and strawberries were really yielding with the early June rains and now we are having our best raspberry harvest in years. Raw fried early potatoes with home raised beef, home grown lettuce and onions, beans and carrots with raspberries with cream and maple syrup, not fancy but good.

no contradiction at all-
8 hours of sleep is whats best for me, but that doesn't always happen.
I prefer home cooked meals, and we have them more often than not, loris a very good cook- but to eat quick and easy when tired or occupied bothers me not

Eating is a waste of time for me; as is the end result. If I didn't have to eat to stay alive I wouldn't. I have other things I'd rather do.

I agree I come from a family of fast eaters and I am one of the fastest eaters in the bunch. I like slow cookers that cook while you are doing other things. It does not mean I don't enjoy the taste of food I just have not learned to spend a lot of time eating.

What if those things you'd rather do are centered around producing food ? Including what you do for income, and in that endeavor you get all of these really delicious bonuses.................

Some of the things I'd rather do than eat do result in food production; wild game, fish, etc. . I'd rather keep as much of my money in my pocket as possible although you can hardly call hunting and fishing "free". By products of highly enjoyable hobbies.

But with hunting and fishing you are producing food, and I've always figured that I should enjoy the preparation and consumption of the species I take as much as the taking of them.
For me, commercial fishing puts money in my pocket, as well as food on my plate, and funds more hunting and recreational/food fishing.
It has to do with cultural experiences as well, and most of the cultures I've been around put food and eating at the top of the list. And within those cultures the people I've been around most are the food producers themselves.

Skidway, do you know what make the difference between a fat person and a thin person?
One lives to eat and the other eats to live.
Although I enjoy a tasty meal, I don't eat as often as many, and I'm more on an eat to live person myself. lol
Cheers, Pam

I was looking at the potato links FWS. What with all that peeling, soaking, and boiling before they even get to the canner, I think I'll just stick to throwing a couple in the microwave for 4 minutes now and then. lol
One link says 20lbs for 7 quarts and the other says 10-14 lbs for 7 quarts.
Cheers, Pam

Well then here's the recipe for you, disciplinary loaf, what they feed to difficult prisoners in correctional institutions. It has all you need to survive. No muss, no fuss, you could make one big batch and eat off of it for months. Discipline Loaf Ingredients: 2-1/2 oz. nonfat dry milk 4-1/2 oz. dry potato flakes 4-1/2 oz. raw carrots, chopped or grated fine 1-1/2 oz. tomato juice or puree 4-1/2 oz. raw cabbage, chopped fine 7 oz. lean ground beef, turkey or re-hydrated, canned or frozen Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP) 2-1/2 fl. oz. oil 1-1/2 oz. whole wheat flour 1/4 tsp. salt 4 tsp. raw onion, chopped 1 egg 6 oz. dry red beans, pre-cooked before baking (or 16 oz. canned or cooked red kidney beans) 4 tsp. chili powder DIRECTIONS: Shape into a loaf and bake at 350-375 degrees for 50-70 minutes.

I would like to know what prison feeds ground beef, whole wheat flour, raw onion, cabbage etc? In the state of Missouri all eggs are powdered and meat is very rare indeed.
All about the budget and each .10 here and there adds up to a lot of money with the shear numbers incarcerated in state prisons.

They can use Midwestern style 'canned or frozen Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP)', in fact they could make a fish fillet shaped puck out of a soy based tofu like substance to replace all that cod and haddock being used at all those community fish fry's to protect the purity of the populus. Beer battered tofu,
