Whole Chicken in a Can Taste Test

Yeah, but does it really look any worse than canned ham?

Whole Chicken in a Can Taste Test

"Other Excellent Uses

Creamed chicken and mushrooms, chicken ala king, fricassee or serve cold just as chicken comes from the can."

Ye gods.

I believe this chicken has had too much to drink. I mean who walks around with a can on their head?

YUMMY, the gelatinous GLOP-GLAZE was the selling point for me and the pale pastey almost blue hue the cooking gave the chicken was the perfect compliment to the GLOP-GLAZE. Thanks for the blog I'll be on the lookout for it next time I go shopping and have the craving for such a Gastronomical Gourmet Offering or is it simply gastronomically offensive. Excuse me while I hurl !

First I must apologize to 1stmakearoux. I ADORE Spam. Now to this obscenity in a can. I have only seen it in the midwest and I remember my Grandmother in Plymouth, Michigan using it often for [tasteless] chicken salads and sandwiches. It was very cheap at that time - about sixty years ago and it indeed looked gross. The only good part of the chicken in a can was the chicken soup Grandma made with the gelled broth. Now that was actually tasty. Thanks, winkyjo, for the visual of "cow in a can."

It reminds me of that scene from "The Bodysnatchers". As they were coming out of their cocoons.

I have actually eaten that stuff numerous times and it really is not that bad. Straight out of the can it is rather flavorless, but it can be incorporated in to a recipe for cooked chicken fairly easily. The gel that forms around it is just from the bones and will form around a fresh chicken that has been chilled as well.

If you guys are this squeamish about canned chicken you would never make it as a really poor person.

This brings back fond memories of the can I bought and passed around to my daughter and her friends. We would pantry hide it, but never had the nerve to open it. I wonder where it is now...

Seriously, how long til SLop uses this in a episode? I bet it'd be "super simple" to put it into one of her recipes.

@maered - "wet dog and death." Still laughing at that one!

I don't think even my cats would eat that. Or the dogs, for that matter.

i just can't believe you would even sample that!

Wow - I forgot all about Sweet Sue. My folks used to buy a can to pack along in our camping trips. This was back in the late 50's early 60's. Then mom would pick the chicken and add broth and noodles and we'd have a soupy/noodle dinner. I remember it tasting okay - not objectionable, but not as good as when she used a fresh chicken. We also had canned bacon (really! - strips of bacon wrapped up in a spam sized can) canned hams and the usual tuna and chicken in cans. These were all cooked in the little stove of the kind of camper that fit on the back of a pickup truck.

Dang! I'm a pretty happy carnivore but that picture alone makes me feel like I should seriously reconsider.

I am completely laughing at all the comments especially the Matrix reference. Thank you for making my Friday morning.

BTW, yuck!

Those of us who suffer from a rare medical disorder that restricts us to eating ONLY canned foods are very grateful to Sweet Sue for bringing chicken into our lives.

I can't believe that there would be demand for that type of product. It looks horrendous!

@akwardcabbage - i agree. what a waste of a chickens life.

they should have designed the package to look like a "garbage" can.

OMG, it looks like a chicken emerging from a Matrix cocoon! "Neo, hand me the salt n pepper".

Quick, take me back to the picture of the Tony Luke roast pork sandwich!

I wonder if it is worthwhile for making a stock at least... better than premade stock hopefully.

Probably not.

You know, I can almost smell what that smells like, because that picture was so traumatizing I'm now hallucinating. I imagine it smells a combination of wet dog and death.
