I use the Louis Kemp all the time. Actual crab is prohibitively expensive here, even canned (blech). I think the last time I looked at canned, it was 8 ounces for $7 or $8. The fake stuff goes on sale 5/$5 (8 ounce) pretty regularly. People don’t like it because it’s cool to be down on something if you live somewhere that the real thing it replaces is easy to come by. Or because they think it makes them cool some other way. Like the people who refuse to eat canned soup, or who constantly go out of their way to say rude things about fast food restaurants and the people who, *gasp*, dare to eat there. [;)]
 
As for the canned asparagus…I won’t eat it, but I also won’t tell you that you shouldn’t. [:D]
