Will you?
Mystery meat in a tin.
We could have a competition - Gross, tinned meat recipes - spam, potted meat, Vienna sausage. I am sure there are others out there equally disgusting.
That would actually be kind of fun. Transform something gross into a delectable dish.
Seriously - The awesome chefs on this forum would be up to the task.
I remember an episode of a cooking show - maybe Master Chef, where the challenge ingredient was tinned Vienna Sausage .
Unless you set up a challenge I will pass.

I remember an episode of Monty Python … "Spam, Spam, Spam " etc etc

I haven't seen a tin of spam for at least 20 years. When we were kids, we used to fry it in bacon fat for breakfast .. I don't think I could cope with that now...

I've mentioned on another thread about corned beef in a can. No thanks, and I don't buy spam, I have two half legs of ham in the freezer.

Vienna Sausage

What is Vienna Sausage?

What is Vienna Sausage?

Ah, another childhood memory. They are small sausages in a small tin can. They are similar in texture to bologna, and not terribly far off in taste.

SPAM also makes pretty good sliders. Grill or fry them, add some cheese, cut them in half and put them on some slider rolls.

Wait a minute, tomorrow is March 8, so it would already be over??

Regardless, I'll pass.

On another note, Vienna sausage was all oldest DGD would eat for a while when she was younger. I gagged inside every time I opened a can for her. I blame her mother, our DD.

I love Vienna sausages. Around here, everyone calls them "Vie-eener wieners."

My wife's second favorite sandwich is a potted meat sandwich. Every Christmas, one of her stocking stuffers will be a couple of little single-serving cans of potted meat.

My favorite dish with SPAM was the fried rice I used to get at the Plattsburgh (NY) AFB bowling alley. Best fried rice I've ever had, by a long way.

"Made With Chicken, Beef and Pork Added in Chicken Broth" Translation: Mystery Meat in a gelatinous mess. Potted Meat is worse. If I had to choose I would go with Spam. The more I think about it I think tinned mystery meat would be a good challenge.

I'm losing the plot. You are quite right. I'll amend the top post!

I don't think its available here.

That's okay, you have Marmite, which can go toe-to-toe with any nasty stuff in a can that we have here.

We have Vegemite, NOT marmite here, and it's in a jar.
