Chicken in a Can.

[alphafemale]

Not sure about now?

But when I worked Grocery Stock some people were buying these regularly as they did not collect dust.

Maybe animal feed?

A deli chicken is about the same price or even less for human consumption.

The splooge ooze.

eeewww.

8. Yeah. That's the thing.

Even in the store they were more than a regular chicken.

I'm thinking maybe someone was feeding them to snakes or something.

Because we had to restock regularly.

4. Before refrigerators it was a miracle food.

Same with Spam.

A whole chicken without the bother of killing one youself.

Imagine that!

10. But we have had refrigerators in nearly every home for over one hundred years. nt

15. Not always, not even in my own life.

I guess I'm outside your "we."

16. Nearly all as in 97.8%

And I doubt people without a fridge would have the funds to pay $10 for gelatinous chicken in a can.

18. Refrigerators in nearly every home for over one hundred years?

A hundred years ago, iceboxes were fairly common in urban settings, and the ice man delivered your ice from the city ice plant. Refrigerators really didn't make an appearance until the late twenties and early thirties, and they were expensive.

20. I haven't always had a fridge.

I had about a 6 month spell with no electricity; I cooked on a single burner coleman gas stove.

5. All the nastiest textures with ten times the sodium!!!

It doesn't get any better than that, I gotta tell ya!

One time when my daughter was in Girl Scouts, her leader did some kind of food/cooking thing where the girls had to take in food they had made for a pot luck. She took in a fresh spinach salad with strawberries and almonds with a sweet vinaigrette. Very basic, and one of her favorite ways to eat spinach to this day.

One of the other girls took in a can of chicken and dumplings and opened the can, dumped it in a bowl, and microwaved it. The kids were all freaked out about that salad but thought the dumplings were just great. When the troop leader asked my kid what her opinion was, she said she thought the salt levels in the chicken were too high, and the textures were off.

We'd been watching Top Chef and my kid must have been modeling Padma that day.

11. I once knew an immigrant who tried to do a dinner like that for her American husband

She hadn't been here long when she decided to impress her husband by making an American dinner. But when she got the product home from the store and opened it, she scooped the contents out looking for the chicken pictured on the label but all she found was a bunch of white stuff.

Of course, what she thought was a chicken dinner was a can of...
