Great story!
For some of the troops I help support, I decided they would probably like something a little different than those dry cheese crackers or stick-on-the-roof-of-your-mouth peanut butter ones (all prepackaged.)
So, I cleaned the store shelf of little cans of ham spread. Then came crackers - every kind you can think of. I just knew they would love it.
Then a friend reminded me - no pork products to the troops. Huh? This is ham! Not pork.
BINGO! I think I hit myself on the head at that point.
Anybody have any ideas what to do with a dining room table full of little cans of ham and boxes of crackers?
Sell ‘em, eat ‘em or throw a party. The next neighbourhood event sure won’t lack ham and crackers... LOL.
Loved the tuna story!
About your ham, you could donate it to your local food shelf. A lot of people are in need of good, shelf-stable food.
Have a theme fund-raiser around the food, and use the proceeds to send something to the troops.
That ain't right! Bad enough we keep the female troops mostly confined to bases, but cowing to Islamic dietary standards is going way over the line.
What about some Salmon. Fruit cocktail is always a favorite, they can eat the fruit and drink down the juices.
And dont ever forget PBJ sandwichs, which on the History Channel said that Peanutbutter and Jelly sandwichs was invented durning WW2 for aircrews as a easy snack while flying missons.
God Bless the USMC....

Your local rescue mission would love to have it.
I’ve sent prok products and haven’t had any sent back...
Re-label it “chicken” or “tuna” or whatever comes to mind. The troops will understand and appreciate your need to improvise.
