Another of my favorites, Vienna Sausage.
Armadillo.
I have no idea what is in this, let alone what kinds of meat.
Ditto, I have no idea what is in it. Would I eat it? Sure.
Elk.

Not sure what is in these, but they look tasty. They look like cocktail weiners in BBQ sauce, a favorite of mine.
Possum.
You said you weren't sure what fish balls are...they're a common dish over in the orient, especially southern china. it's basically just ground fish meat squished into balls. they're quite yummy
ReplyDeleteFish balls aren't actually all that bad, and this is coming from someone who absolutely hates seafood. They're great in giant bowls of soup, such as Vietnamese pho.
ReplyDeleteFish Balls are soooo horrible. It seems the more rubbery they are the more desirable they become.
ReplyDeleteHaggis is minced (ground) bits other than meat of a sheep. That one seems to be picked in Alcohol. Exually as horrible as fish balls.
Are those ral ant eggs or just cashew nuts?
Love the "Pure Texas Armadillo, sun-dried and (ahem) road tenderized". Hey, I'd try it. And just think, if the apocalypse happens, all this is golden! Wonderful list. Thanks.
ReplyDeletejars are referred to as cans. As in home canning.
ReplyDeleteThe can with picture of hotdogs and a fish, in Arabic is written "Tuna Hotdogs"
ReplyDeletei ate those korean silk-worms - quite good. you can get the same can with silkworms, saying its high protein fish-food. :)
ReplyDeleteand surstromming ... guess why the opened can sits on a stone outside? it stinks. you would never even think something that stiks that way could still be eaten.
The writing on the tin of smokey bbq roasted scorpions is Thai.
ReplyDeleteThe Full Monty and All Day Breakfast are British. The full monty has beans, sausages, mini burgers, salami, potato and mushrooms. The All Day Breakfast is beans, sausages, bacon, mini scotch eggs and mushrooms.
ReplyDeleteThey're basically microwave meals in tins.
Shame there's no black pudding in tins.
This is the most incredible blog post in history. I am not kidding!
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure that these meats and i use the term losely make me want to go vegan..
ReplyDeleteBlech!
When my grandmother used to go to conventions, she would occasionally bring back tins labeled as an odd meat such as armadillo or buffalo. They were stuffed animals in a can. I can't help but wonder if one or two of these cans are like that.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the above poster. A lot of the times, crap like "Armadillo Meat" will be canned fruit. Very good collection of cans though, I enjoyed it!
ReplyDelete"I'm guessing it's beef, because there is a cow on the front."
ReplyDeleteIt is "Nozaki's corned beef" in Japanese.
Haggis is good stuff. Stahley's is pretty good for tinned. I haven't tried the Drambuie flavored, though. The best of all possible worlds. I saw tinned hamburgers in Scotland. Good post.
ReplyDeleteHaggis is awesome! It's minced organs with oatmeal. Tastes of liver a bit. I really like it, but can't find it in the US much. Canned may be the way to go.
ReplyDeleteThe 2 korean cans are actually "beef rib soup." Dunno if that counts as meat.
ReplyDeleteThe Swedish "Surströmming" is actually a kind of fermented herring (not jellied). The smell is vicious, pretty much like shit, and although I´m from Sweden I have never tasted the stuff. Gross.
ReplyDelete"Surströmming"Is Fermented Herring.
ReplyDeleteAged to perfection...And it smells or should i say It punch you in the face.
In the North of Sweden they have a festival every year The "Surströmmingsfestival" Where they eat the fish together with Onions and potatoes and lots and lots of Vodka "Snaps"
Bläää....
The writing on the "Smokey BBQ roasted scorpians" can is Thai. There's a lot of Thai stuff in this post, actually.
ReplyDeleteFor the Saucisses Party, these are actually in brine ("saumure" in French).
ReplyDeleteSo bring your own BBQ sauce !
As for the "Rendang daging sapi" beef dish, it's a traditionnal Indonesian/Malaysian dish (I only tried it in Indonesia though).
"daging sapi" means it's beef.
The rendang is actually one of my favourite asian food. You can find a lot of different ways to cook it, but it's gonna take a looong time before it's cooked to perfection.
When done properly, it's spicy and really delicious!
Not sure about the canned version though...
Anyways, try it ;)
Oh, and because of the many spices, be sure to prepare some rice on the side. Not only is it a good side dish, but it might save you and your mouth a handful of times !
This is stupid when you dont show whats inside!
ReplyDeletewhat's with the haggis soaked in drambuie?
ReplyDeleteI've had those silk worm pupae many times. Although not out of a can, but fresh. They are a relatively common street food in Korean. They are delicious, I think - but I haven't found anyone else whoa agrees with me!
ReplyDeleteDenny Beefsteak & Kidney pies are delicious!
ReplyDeleteAnd this one:
I have no idea, but it looks like pork.
Is actually corned beef according to my wife (she's Chinese)
This is the best FORN post ever :)
ReplyDeleteI remember in a deli in Philadelphia, reading the ingredients on "potted meat food product." My favourite ingredient was "partially de-fatted cooked pork fatty tissue." Delish.
ReplyDeleteHere in New Zealand we see a variety of lamb's tongues in tins on our shelves, my favourite being "whole peeled lamb's tongues," as if they were bananas...
The 'Goblin Meat Pudding' is simply a steak and gravy pie made with suet flour and steamed rather than baked. You can buy steak puddings in most fish and chip shops in the UK.
ReplyDeleteHaggis is a scottish invention for a poor man's sausage which contains all of the innards of sheep not useful for any other purpose except grinding up and mixing with oatmeal. Then the whole mess is stuffed into sheep's stomach lining and voila - haggis. If one is fortunate enough to have a french chef prepare this then it tastes like a great pate, otherwise it's a poor man's hearty meal (now you know why they invented scotch)
ReplyDeleteyou really did your homework. lol.
ReplyDeleteThe Yoders Turkey Chunks (and other varieties) are very popular among the survivalist crowd. I understand the canned bacon is particularly well liked, being fully cooked and rolled in wax paper.
ReplyDeleteWhich is not to say I have a case of the stuff in my basement. Okay, I do, but that's beside the point...
Baldinger's Traditional Chopped Chicken Livers is great stuff; I've eaten lots of it over the years. I had no idea how cholesterol laden pork brains are. Maybe I should convert to Judaism.
ReplyDeleteKrakus - Polish Ham together with all this junk's
ReplyDeleteI called 911 it is a crime.
I'd eat it all!!!
ReplyDeleteGive me give me!!!

ReplyDeleteSwedish hotdogs in Beer..They taste great!

ReplyDeleteLove: (a) Scandinavian jellied fish open outdoors on a rock. Hilarious! (b) the weaver ant eggs actually say "bizarre food" right on the jar. Truth in advertising. (c) Reindeer pate says "farm raised relative of Rudolph!" -- "C'mere Timmy, we're going to discuss why Santa's not bringing you a new bike this year."
ReplyDeleteThe Russian stuff is tushenka. It's sort of like spam with gravy.
When I was a kid my father had obtained several cans of the Celebrity Canned Bacon. It's really good. It's very salty, but easily as good as most fresh bacon I've had. It's very handy for camping, and opens with a key, so you don't even need an opener.
ReplyDeleteThe jellied eels are a British speciality, primarily from London/Thames estuary. The chopped up eels are boiled and the bones in the eel help create the jelly they are kept in. The picture shows them in a plastic container, which is the usual supermarket way of buying them. So they need to be kept in a fridge in this state and aren't really preserved like in tins or jars. I love jeelied eels, but you've got to be careful with the sharp bone in the middle.
ReplyDeleteAs others have said Haggis is a Scottish thing. Ground up offal (liver, heart, lungs, etc) mixed with oatmeal and blood filled inside an ox bung (intestine). Often whisky is added in there, usually at the end of cooking time. Good ones are tasty. It probably cans quite well, so the one in the picture might not be too bad.
Is that a whole whale in curry sauce? :)
lol @ "The Full Monty"
ReplyDeleteWhich came first, I wonder...the movie or the product?
Surstromming is a Swedish delicacy! Its actually aged herring. It smells like pure crap but tastes quite good :p
ReplyDeleteFish Balls is also something common in Sweden, its quite good actually, although the smell is worse then the Surstromming.
I think Turkey is best :)
ReplyDeleteeasily as good as most fresh bacon I've had. It's very handy for camping, and opens with a key, so you don't even need an opener.
ReplyDeleteangle fish care
I love this! Have you seen the Joey Canned Meat Treats on Facebook?? You guys should be friends.
ReplyDeleteEPIC post! [a few months late, but...]
ReplyDeleteI thought it was hilarious that some of the cans are labelled "edible"
Yeah, I make it a point not to eat things that need to clarify that they won't kill you if eaten.
ReplyDeleteHere in New Zealand we see a variety of lamb's tongues in tins on our shelves, my favourite being "whole peeled lamb's tongues," as if they were bananas...
ReplyDeleteTerm papers
These can has what we usually want to buy fresh. Actually I prefer to buy fresh not in a can.
ReplyDeleteCanned stuff ... i prefer fresh..
ReplyDeleteLove the "Pure Texas Armadillo, sun-dried and (ahem) road tenderized". Hey, I'd try it. And just think, if the apocalypse happens, all this is golden! Wonderful list. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThe fish balls you have shown are from Scandinavia and are made of ground up dried fish that are then made into balls and typically come in a white sauce in the can.
