You might remember a previous blog about a not-so-delicious product we tried here called "The Big BBQ." Through a reader comment, I became aware of another product in the same misguided line of food products: "The Full Monty." The next time we were at the store, it found its way into the cart.
Where "The Big BBQ" just had lots of varieties of chopped and formed meat lumps, the Full Monty has just a bit less meat variety and the addition of potatoes. The potatoes were the highlight; the meat is still disgusting.
Once, when the wife and I were in Japan staying at a traditional sleep-on-a-bamboo-floor hotel, we had some intensely Japanese food. One of the items on our plates was a whole grilled fish about the size of, say, a Heath bar. At the direction of the serving lady (she made a vicious chomping
motion with her teeth with an imaginary fish held to her mouth), you were supposed to eat the whole fish, head and all. I bit into that head with a bit of reservation, black juice squirted out from it, and I proceeded to chew and swallow what was undoubtedly the nastiest thing I had ever eaten. The hot dogs in The Fully Monty were on par with this memory.
This is the end of my experimentation with the Hunger Break products. Who eats this stuff, I don't know.

- Guy: I do this...[strips down pants and underwear]
- Gaz: [coughs smoke, then long pause] Gentlemen, the lunchbox has landed.

I think the question should be this: Why do you keep buying this rubbish? Would you actually eat the many varieties of shite in a can if you were in the States?
Nice work. I have been anxiously waiting for this review. Who would have thought that canned hotdogs would be bad?
Indeed, who would have thought. There is a can of hot dogs without the beans that I have been eye-balling -- maybe there is hope there.
If it is on the shelf it is because someone is buying it. I commend you in your quest in the realm of why one would subject oneself to such putrescence in search of sustenance. Is it convenience? Is it utter economics? It is brilliant marketing? Is it inspired photography? Is it “good?” These are the questions you seek to answer…..
I wish that I could find someone who could put a decent burrito in a can. Maybe the Germans could accomplish that feat. I think they manufacture that hamburger in a can thing for camping, why not a burrito?
