Hey, we used to keep canned chicken out at the cabin, and trust me, it's pretty fucking delicious in a soup when you've been out in the bush all day. Why? Why do we keep anything in cans? Because some of us live in places where fresh food is not available all year round.

Could you cook it by setting the tin in the embers of your camp fire?

The resemblance of that...thing...to a thing being birthed reminds me of an episode of the old Julia Child cooking show that was on PBS decades ago, when I was but a wee little Muravyets. I don't think I could ever find this clip on youtube. Julia was preparing a chicken, a fresh one -- a REAL one -- and she was demonstrating how to wash the chicken before cooking it. And at the end, while it was draining on a towel, she sat it up to show the camera various parts of it she wanted to draw to the audience's attention for how she was planning to take it apart. And as she sits it up on its butt and is holding it up by its wings (by its "underarms"), she actually laughed and said in that Julia Child voice:

"It looks rather like a dead baby, doesn't it?"

Lol, maybe she didn't say "dead", but then, it WAS headless, so... maybe I just heard "dead" as she was playing with her (obviously dead) chicken "baby" preparatory to butchering it with a cleaver.

I miss that show.

I once had to taste cheap chicken meat in a can, on a hiking trip. It wasn't whole chicken, and it looked delicious on the package. At least, more delicious than the few remaining alternatives.
It tasted like if someone has ingested some chicken meat and vomited it out. Not even like super-bland chicken, though not outright disgusting, it was just so bad that even I preferred to go next 4 days without food (short of chewing up some grass) over eating that.

This chicken suddenly doesn't seem so bad.


Lol...don't ever let homemade chicken soup get cold then...
^this.
Foods with a lot of fat-water emulsion tend to look unfamiliar when cold. I mean, unfamiliar to someone who doesn't cook his own food and has to put it in the fridge, and doesn't deal much with canned foods.

Many of these actually look just like what's advertised, except without increased color saturation trick.
Others don't.
But most just do the same trick, more flour, less everything else.
