Canned Hot

Another adventure in canned meat!

This time it's the All-American hot dog UK-style, now with "best ever quality." It's the "UK's favorite hot dog!"

These things were far superior to the meat found in the Fully Monty and Big BBQ disasters-in-a-can that I tried earlier. They were just a tiny bit soggy, but not bad. I tried them under the 'top grill' in the oven and one out of the nuclear oven, too. They were better off the grill.


My biggest complaint is that these things were tiny (see comparison to leftover Halloween candy bar, below.) It would take four to fill a good American hot dog bug -- I'm not even sure what is the point of a hot dog in this form factor -- I didn't see tiny little buns anywhere in the grocery.

Still, it was surely a passable lunch when smothered in quasi-Chicago style with ketchup, American yellow mustard, a bit of mayo, some chopped Dwarf Apache (Seebach!) peppers, and a nice slathering of the now famous Wisconsin's best squirty cheese. Nice.

On deck are a larger version of this same company's dog, a steak and kidney pie-in-a-can, and attempt from Heinz to use sexual imagery to sell baked beans.

Cheers!
