The butter is great, and so is the cheese.

Looking at that page, I've never seen a whole canned chicken before. I gotta wonder what that's going to look like after 10 years. :-)

I have one in the pantry, they sell them at some of the grocery stores here. I haven't opened it yet. Next time the wife is outta town, I'll check it out and post a review.

Hey guys,
Take advantage of the offer to get some of that cheese and butter from Red Feather...it's sooooooo good. I would get a tin or two but I'm short of funds right now.

For those of you who might not know I did a review of both the Red Feather cheese and butter back in Feb-Mar and submittedit to our webmaster. Not sure where it is right now but sombody finds it can they post a link to it. Thanks

The butter is from New Zealand and the cheese is from Australia, there should be some way to get it...

IIRC, dairy products might be one of those things that can be tricky to import into a country. I'd recommend trying to find an in-country company who already has the stuff imported - might save a lot of hassle.

The Red Feather butter is commonly available in the Asian groceries on the West Coast as well, and if you watch for the sales, it can easily be had for much less than on web sites. Canned cheese is the Kraft brand from Australia, the one the web sites claim to be discontinued or moved to Saudi Arabia, and available in number of different Asian markets, it's usually found in the Filipino foods sections. Again, for much less than the prices found on web sites. Some of the Asian markets also carry canned butters from Europe. The upside to these canned butters is that they usually taste better/richer than the refrigerated domestically produced butters.

The part that I find irritating are the web sites that claim to be "exclusive" distributors of these products.
