    If anyone else wants to invest the buck or two for a can,
    far be it from me to discourage its opening. Far be it
    from me to encourage such irresponsible behavior, either.
    I won't spend the money for the canned stuff, but maybe use the
    money to buy ingredients to do my usual version.
    As intimated, if anyone wants to, it would be maybe 50c worth of
    entertainment for a buck, and I wouldn't discourage anyone from it.
    Doubt anybody will take you up on the challenge.
    I might be contrarian enough to take up the challenge, and buy
    the can of Read's German Potato Salad, if you want to make the
    homemade version to test against... ;)

    OK, I'll do so. (memo to self--put recipe and misc stuff needed in
    camper)

    Done. ;) I'll either get it this week shopping or when we do the
    picnic shopping on the Friday...

    OK, thanks. I've got the other basics out in the camper. Besides the
