Camel in a can?

Hmmm.

Next they’ll be passing through the eyes of needles...

I remember whole cooked chickens in a can back in the early 1960s.

Potted Possum has always been one of my personal favorites.

Did it look like this?

What! ..No Haggis!

I’m so glad I keep kosher.

Though I guess I could eat a giraffe in the can.

Though I would not.

I remember reading a National Geographic article in about 1977-78 on rats. One of the things in the article I’ve always remembered is that there was a company set up in the Phillipines that processed and canned rat meat from the giant rats commonly found in the rice paddies. The product was canned as STAR meats (reverse the characters). I still laugh about that marketing ploy.

Canned chicken is likely a throwback to the days when you couldn’t get certain meats year round. It looks like it would be just fine for stews or soup, or out on the camp trail.

I’ve had the canned rattlesnake. Guess I’ll try the BBQ scorpions next.

A Whole Chicken

I remember these from decades ago. Never bought one, though.

[GeronL]

do not look up Chinese or Korean dog meat market

[CH3CN]

Hmm, that looks like the generic brand. The name brand is probably much better.
