Working in the city means I’ve got quite a few food options, from concourse shops to street vendors, or bringing my own bag lunch. But even in the heart of NYC I’d have to search pretty hard to find anything like these offered selections:
Well, maybe some sushi joints would have some similar options, but still…
Since places are gearing up already for the Christmas cheer (we haven’t even hit Halloween yet, people, take down the inflatable Santa Claus already!), I figured this canned good was the most appropriate:
And I love the “home-style goodness” label on this one. Yes. That’s just the way mom used to make ’em.
I see that smile.
Canned whole chicken… I didn’t know that anybody was crazy enough to make such a product. I don’t think we can buy that in Denmark, and even if we could I probably wouldn’t. I’m not really a canned food fan myself, and a canned whole chicken is definitely out of my league. I’m amazed that such a product even exists, and that some people actually buys it (well, I don’t know that for a fact, but at least the manufacturer believes that somebody will).
It probably appeals to niche demographics, like mothers who want to take a break from cooking dinner, or people who can’t cook but want to impress their friends with their apparent culinary skill.
Hello to Denmark, by the way. So are there any foodstuffs out there that you wouldn’t readily find in the US?
Did you photoshop that canned chicken? Cause that’s seriously weird. 🙂

I’m afraid not, Mir. I don’t have the leet photoshopping skills for that kind of thing, I’m afraid.
I never,ever served you that chicken.
What I want to know is does it come fully stuffed, like the picture suggests?
Amazing.
I bet when you open the can it all explodes out of the can a la that magic trick can of peanuts.
The article says it comes without giblets, so I bet you have to provide your own stuffing. But I’m sure you can find some canned stuffing somewhere on the same grocery shelf.
