anyone fancy a WHOLE CHICKEN IN A CAN for tea tonight? American MNers, would you CARE TO EXPLAIN??!!

[AitchTwoOh]

good god!

Priddy much, yup

In fact, I think they add some salt, boil it in fat and then bottle the whole lot, fat and all.

mmmm, that's what a confit is, is it? i always assumed it was some kind of duck/jam hybrid.

so FRENCH MNERS, explain yourselves. duck jam fgs. etc.

some weird shit on that cheeseburger link btw. fooking kids' supermarket. chiz moan.

When I've been in a nuclear bunker for several months with only tinned food to eat.... that would be the LAST THING I'd eat! And even then it would be about a month after I'd eaten the last of anything else, so I'd be sooooo hungry and not notice how revolting it is

duck in a can

I bet if I took lingering close up shots of that it would look laaaaaaaarvely

bleeargh. The pork brains look truly disgusting and the chicken only slightly less so.

I'm sorry but THAT cheeseburger did not come out of THAT can. Not without some serious cosmetic surgery anyway.

why are you defending this so staunchly, tyv?

ARE YOU SWEET SUE?!

wtf is vulva cake?

Although I can't think I would EVER have use for a canned chicken, I actually didn't think it looked that bad- for a boiled chicken.

Most of those juices around it were just that- the gelatinous stuff that leaks out of any chicken during roasting- it's delicious in gravy, and stock is like that if you make it yourself.

That said, it did look revolting being birthed from the can in that way. And I agree that it does look rather like confit de canard, including the texture.

YES YES YES - for too long have I been hiding my chicken loving soul on mn.

I now come out and reveal myself in all my grease-stained glory.

I AM SUE.

meet duchesse, sue, she's a big fan of your products...

confit de canard is essentially duck cooked in its own juices, with a little bit of extra duck fat to kick start it. Most of what leaches out of a duck is in fact fat, unlike with a chicken. Duck oil is, however, supposed to very good for a person- a French person the other day pointed out that the place in France where the most preserved duck is eaten is also the place with the lowest rate of heart disease. Allegedly you can re-use duck fat many times.

click on the profile. Franny thought it looked like a vulva

BLERGH!

Oh no, that's duck in a jar. Different thing altogether.

Not sure if that is more or less disgusting than Spam. Somehow I think it's more, although can't articulate why.

lol at birthed out of a can.

i think a glass jar makes a big difference too, funnily enough. it's making a virtue out of its revoltingness.

'birthed out of a can'

i think i had duck in jelly at a french wedding once. was revolting.

You do all realise that is EXACTLY what is in chicken soup, chicken burgers, chicken stock cubes, chicken pies, chicken nuggets, chicken curry.

Ever eaten any of those .. or fed them to your DCS?

Its at times like these I relish being veggie

that is truely rank!! DH wont even look at it LOL
