This is like a 12v mini oven. It takes a while to cook raw meat, but I've made roasts, eggs and sausage, etc in it. In my beginning trucking days, it would take about 6 hours or so to cook a Jennie-O frozen turkey roast. Pop the frozen brick in and 6 hours later, better than truckstop food. The gelatinous goop on a DAK is nasty and needs to be melted off. I've eaten spam cooked and not cooked. I much prefer fried Spam. My parents would make spam salad. Grate spam on a grater, mix in mayo and chopped pickle or relish, put on bread like tuna.

I like the usual... kipper snacks, corned beef hash and an occasional Spam sammich.

Hate to admit it but... I like Underwood deviled ham. On potato bread with a slice of swiss is not bad for a quick meal

I generally just dice/cube up some potatoes, cook them for a while in cast iron with butter, then add in corned beef and cook some more. So basically a corned beef hash.  Served with some over easy eggs on top.

Hormel spam may be an acquired taste but can be good.
Dinty moore beef stew is usually good.
Underwood deviled chicken salad is decent, the ham less so.
Canned smoked oysters in oil are usually very good.

Canned seafood can be surprisingly good.  It really depends on how it is canned.  Spain seems to have that down, and much of their canned seafood is amazing.

Referring to store-bought here.  In my experience, canned meat is pretty gnarly.  Rarely tastes like that type of meat and never good.  Canned tuna....ok.  Canned chicken...tastes like canned tuna.  Canned beef....tasted more like nasty chicken.  Once tried a DAK ham and almost puked.  Wife and I both agreed we'd tuck any others away for the apocalypse.  Years back another ARF.comer said we'd suck that gel on top of the ham up like it was ambrosia if we had nothing else to eat.

Anyway, are there any canned meats out there that people actually enjoy, crave, and eat on a regular or semi-regular basis??

Thanks!

IMO, the best canned meats come from polish grocery stores. It’s something they do a lot better than we do.

Canned meats are terrible but they serve a purpose.    You could dig up a can of spam and bag of dried beans from a hole in the ground, and a few hours later eat something that will probably be amazing for the situation you are in.

Keystone meats are legit. The beef is the best.  5 or 6 year shelf life too.  They're good for a mid to long term pantry item.

The foil pouch Starkist "Select" tuna in EVOO is where it's at as far as tuna goes.  As far as canned I can eat salmon, smoked oysters or corned beef, everything else is too salty for my liking.

Dak or Hostess Ham. Slice it in half, bake in oven. Pour teriyaki glaze over it the last ten minutes. Just got through eating leftovers of it for lunch.

For me it's sardines and corned beef, I love corned beef sandwiches. While I might eat spam in a pinch, not a big fan. I know there's a lot of nitrates in CB butsince I don't eat it a lot I'm not worried. Oh yeah, Yoders canned bacon isn't half bad either, great on camping trips.

My SO got into Meateater a while ago because of Joe Rogan. I don’t hunt but she wanted to try different meats to see if she would be interested in liking them enough to try hunting and got canned elk,deer,moose and bear.

   Anyway,according to her canned deer and moose is preferable to canned bear which is allegedly greasy and too gamey. My at work lunches were more almonds and bananas. She’s obviously going to outlast me when SHTF

Corned beef. There are several brands some are better than others.
Vienna sausage
Potted meat and Deviled ham mixed with cream cheese makes an awesome sandwich spread and great with saltiness.

Chicken. We buy Sam's Club in the big cans.
Tuna and salmon.

Squid, Kipper, mackerel, sardines, oysters though they give me heartburn.

DAK ham is great for ham salads.  If you want to fry, just slice is like spam.  I dont recommending baking it whole, I never found it to be that good in that fashion.

25% reduced sodium SPAM
Genovo canned tuna
Kirkland canned chicken (for congee, porridge, soup, or some chicken salad)

All available at Costco.

Oh, and go get Japanese Kewpie Mayonnaise.  Makes all that stuff taste better.

The problem with a lot of prepared foods is the sodium levels. That would narrow the list down a lot for me. Certain smoked sardines or mackerels are good, but I'm sure I'd get sick of it.

Spam tastes best when you haul it 10 miles in to the back country, slice and cook it on a flat rock next to an open fire.

Sucks to have to carry the can back, but often the sacrifice is worth it.

I used one of those on a field deployment. It works surprisingly well. Last time I used one of those aluminum mini loaf pans and heated up hot dogs with it. Didn't take long at all.

We live a good distance from any grocery, so I keep shelf stable things on hand. Here are some good ones that even my wife loves:

"Merry Kitchen" brand corned beef hash. Fry it up crisp, then serve with an over easy egg.

"Hereford" brand tinned roast beef. Can be used many ways, but I often cook rice and serve the warmed beef chunks over that.

"Hereford" brand canned ham. Yes, it's a chopped, pressed ham product, but it has a long shelf life and is uniformly good. I open one and get three meals for the two of us. Scrambled eggs with ham chunks, fried ham and cheese sandwiches, and fried ham slices with canned green beans and potatoes.

The Hereford products are from Argentina. I always keep some in stock if I can get them.

Personally for me, I am not a fan of canned anything. I find that it contains way too much sodium, in the form of MSG and salt. But I do use that stuff in my emergency preps. Canned food is vermin proof. Vermin can gnaw through the plasticized aluminum in MREs.
