Spam, try a bunch of their variations. Good toasted on bread, in ramen, in scrambled eggs, etc.

One of my O/O was running with me and we shut down at a WV weigh station in a snowstorm, I brought him a plate of that and he was in awe. His dinner was going to be vienna sausages. Cold out of the can. And what is a lunch box cooker? I'll absolutely be trying SPAM.....DAK, I'd have to lose a bet. Thanks  Lunch box cooker that can be bought in most truckstops I used one of those on a field deployment. It works surprisingly well.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Vienna sausages are pretty damn great Especially when the can is cold and the juice has turned to jelly. Put that stuff on a cracker and eat it like an oyster. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:  Just dump it out of the can, cut it into 1/4" to 1/2" slices and fry it in butter until golden brown or even crispier. So good. For variety add brown sugar and pineapple and eat like it was ham. |

dont know that it really counts as meat
but I used to throw a couple cans of this and a pack of crackers in a backpack when I would go camping for a few days as a backup plan if I didnt catch or kill anything.

They are all ok in my book but I am easy to please.
I did try something last week with canned chicken breast. I bought Chicken Alfredo Hamburger helper and made it with the canned chicken for my son and me. It was really good, surprisingly good. I have always considered canned meat as a filler or stretcher for mixing with other ingredients. |

It’s really good with some taco seasoning on it as well. My wife thought it was gross but my kids liked it. I need to try the latest selection of spam and see what other canned meats the grocery store has to add variety to my stash. |

LOL at inflation
 Thanks Brandon!You guys mentioned Keystone meats in an earlier post so I went online to look at it, best price was at WalMart, the beef was $7.74 for 28 oz can, while I was looking at the screen it refreshed, and the new price is $8.97

Quote HistoryQuoted: The wife will not buy it but fried spam is one of my favorite foods. Crispy fried slices of spam on white bread with mayo and salt and pepper. I think I like it because my Maw-Maw would fix it for me as a kid. You add salt to Spam? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/125740/costco_chicken_JPG-2271431.JPG Canned chicken breast from costco is good. The Sams Club version isn't bad if you are mixing it with something.. It is a little bland since it is only chicken, water, and salt...nothing else.

Dak ham, I wasn't impressed with.
Polar fish: best deals I've found is on Amazon. The salmon is excellent. Surprisingly good. Libby's corned beef is the best ime. It is best if you heat it up and drain the grease. Our favorite dish is the beef, can or jar of kraut, some thousand island, and Swiss cheese. Mix together and bake. Reuben dip. We use rye toast, but works with whatever ya got. It's very good. Kirkland stuff is good. Kroger brand is, too. With canned meats, you're kind of resigned to using it for other dishes. Salads. Casseroles. Dips. Mixed in with stuff like the Knorr noodles or rice packs. One of the beefs is in a gravy. Along with instant mashed potatoes, canned peas and carrots, it makes a passable shepherds pie pantry dish. Don't overlook making your own jerky (if beef ever goes back down) and storing in mylar with oxygen absorbers. Make sure you get the jerky way dry, not like the chewy stuff you buy. It'll keep very well. |

Quoted: 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! Werling and sons. Excellent taste and seletion. |

No love for canned octopus? It was surprisingly good.
Corn beef hash and deviled ham is good to go. Canned chicken can be made I to passable eating. None of it is high art but it beats being hungry. |

I need to try the latest selection of spam and see what other canned meats the grocery store has to add variety to my stash. I make quesadillas with canned chicken about once a week. It's not the greatest thing in the world, but it's pretty hard to beat for a five minute meal. Costco sells (or used to sell) shredded pork in a can. Toss in a little BBQ sauce and it makes a pretty good sandwich. Quoted: Werling and sons. Excellent taste and seletion. Yup. I can't find Keystone products, and couldn't order them either. I bought a mixed case from Werling and Sons and so far I like everything enough to buy it again. The last time I drove north to see family in Ohio I took a 40 minute side trip so I could buy direct from their store. Prices were pretty damn reasonable since no shipping is involved, so I picked up a couple of flats of beef, pork, and bacon. IIRC, bacon is not available on the website; I was pretty surprised to see it on the shelf. |

Was awesome.  Nice ! Will try that. Here's one from me; Thai chicken curry; Buy some Mae Ploy Thai masman/panang/green/yellow curry Paste One can of dollar tree coconut milk Add 1/2 chopped (or dried chopped) onion Add a good squidge of curry paste Add a sweetener packet or a little sugar Heat and stir until paste is dissolved Add a drained can of chicken (Costco's is best), or like half a pound of chopped chicken Simmer until cooked Add a teaspoon of flour to thicken Serve with jasmine rice |
