I’ll call your canned hamburger…
and raise you canned bacon.
Having seen the canned hamburger over on Gut Check I was left wanting to get a look at what it would look like cracked fresh from the can instead of all gussied up with lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheese.
Having now seen canned bacon fresh from a can, I am terrified of what that might look like and have promptly discarded the thought from my mind.
while Anthony Bourdain said, “if you want to make people happy, give them bacon,” I really don’t think this is what he had in mind.
This will make no one happy, and the most frightening thing isn’t even that someone unwound a can of 20 year old canned bacon–it’s that they opened it to attempt to develop it all over again so they can prop it up next to their other hot sellers: Red Feather Canned Australian Cheddar Cheese and Red Feather New Zealand Canned Creamery Butter.
But then again, now that we have a source for canned hamburger, canned bacon, and canned cheese; and I’m pretty sure I’ve seen canned onions before; and there’s certainly canned tomato; all we need now is some canned lettuce and we can make an entirely can-sourced bacon cheeseburger.
Hooray!
Go check out the pictures if you dare.

canned food….at a distant period in our history it was a necessity….I still choose to ‘can’ some fruits just to have them off season…but canned bacon….oh no. I was served canned potatoes at a dinner the other night. foul. Embarrassingly enough, my mother still enjoys canned asparagus. oh, I don’t think I could ever jump on this bandwagon. Although, some of the most amazing Feta cheese I’ve ever had came out of a can. http://www.yvd.com.au/product/showproduct.asp?productID=4&id=1
