If You Have A Weak Stomach, Don’t Look

It's amazing what food sellers will put into a can these days. What's even more amazing is that people will buy it. I am reminded of a quotation from a children's movie, where one of the kids asks another, "What wouldn't you eat for a million dollars?" I think just about everything in this article from the Food Network would make that list. (And what's with the Russian Herring? Do they really have teeth like that? Were these grown in a body of water near Chernobyl?)

Its about time they put a cheeseburger and bacon in a can. The one that really grossed me out was the whole chicken in a can. The instructions actually encourage you to eat that jelly crap they pack it in (good for gravy or chicken soup?).

Canned smoked oysters are wonderful. Great for hangovers when you just can't cook anything. With toast, melted butter, it's all you need. Yogi, you're missing out.

I second the smoked oysters - absolutely delicious - and terrific in a really dirty martini.
