as an aside, I’ve never seen a canned pickle product.
What? Lots and lots of pickles are canned (all the ones at the store, except for some of the refrigerated ones). They just do it in glass jars instead of metal.
Edit: I don’t know why I’m being downvoted for stating a fact. Shelf-stable pickles (that aren’t lacto-fermented) like this…
…are, in fact, considered “canned.” If you don’t believe me, call up Vlasic yourself and ask them if “canning” accurately describes their manufacturing process. The number is right there on the jar in the picture: 1-800-421-3265.
Edit 2: Just to be even more clear, pickles like this:
Are not canned. The difference isn’t the container (which has exactly the same kind of “lug” or “twist-off” lid as the Vlasic jar), but the fact that this one isn’t pasteurized and has a warning label telling you to keep it refrigerated.
Nope. When something is heat-sterilized and preserved in a sealed container via water bath or pressure, it’s considered “canned” regardless of what type of container it is. That’s why things like this…
Mayhaps in english. Maybe he is not form an english speaking country. I myself am not and canning here is exclusively for metal cans and jarring has a separate word.
I looked up the ingredients, and apparently it’s literally only chicken, water, and salt. So it could be worse I guess. Might be useful to have around if SHTF.
It looks disgusting cuz it’s canned and cold lol. Whenever I cook with real chicken or even beef and there’s broth leftover, it will turn into slight gelatin due to the collagen in the bones! There is flavor and protein in there. It’ll just liquidify when you heat it up and it’s some seasonings and a pinch of flour away from being gravy too.
Wild how cooking can get when you start to understand ingredients more
Emmymade on YouTube did an “Apocalypse Dinner” featuring these whole canned things, the chicken, brown bread, and cheese being the subjects of the video.
She’s pretty fun and tries out some odd stuff occasionally, but this particular episode stuck in my mind as I’d never seen one of these prepared and eaten before. She also has Apocalypse Breakfast, Hamburger In A Can, among others.
