Nothing that odd anymore
As one of those Student types though (many years ago now) my housemate and I used to do lots of various stews.

It seems to be something particular to my uni (and I could be wrong but noone else I have spoken to had this) that the students union had tins of EU labeled food that you could get for free, mixed veg, stewing steak etc.

It looked fucking horrible but with a bit of prep you could rattle up decent pies and stews

My gran used to go and collect hers
and then make meat pies and give them to her neighbours as she didn't want to eat that shit herself.

Nice to know
That I am not mad and that these tins used to exist.

My brother used to live out of skips in his 20s.
Pot luck unlabelled tins were par for the course: is it soup? Rice pudding? Dog food? ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT...

No, find a drug dealer, make him eat it, ask him, then chop his head off.
