Canned with preservatives, do you think this would be a bigger seller on the African market?

Nah...I don't think so. Africans pride themselves on cooking for the family. I don't think canned soup would be very appealing. Even if it is delicious pepper soup with goat meat!

Maybe Campbells could do something with it. *shrug*
