Anyone for some bacon mints, toothpicks, floss, or soap? 

Heck, how about a bacon tux?

Kinda makes one yearn for the canned bacon in the old RP-4's, I think in menu 7 if memory serves correct.  In any event it was not only the most palatable menu, it was also the menu we seldom got.

That canned bacon was great.

This is giving me an idea, the hamburger shown in the picture is too complicated. You need to get stuff from the fridge, slice tomatoes, pickles, try to balance all this on the patty...
How about this: a complete hamburger topping in one squeeze; the bottle would contain the following: bacon, ketchup, relish, mustard, mayo, tomato, lettuce, pickles, cheese...

All you would need for a great burger is a bun, a patty and a squeeze bottle.  8)

Why stop there? Throw the bun and the patty in the tube as well. That way you don't have to stop to place stuff on a bun. Instead you can just squeeze your burger straight into your mouth. Perfect for the active person on the go!

Since the downward spiral is well underway, why not just have dehydrated burgers including the bun and all the fixings. Just add water and, voila, a culinary delight.

And if that's not enough, resurrect those old ration memories with canned bacon.

This thread has spun way out of control; however, it's been harmless.  Anymore examples of food in tins that should not be in tins?

OK, who here remembers Gluhwein from your days in Germany?  Miss that distinctive flavour as you busted down the Alps?  Well, wait no more!  It's back: this time in powdered form!

From the people who brought you "burger in a can", here it is:
Quote
Bergsteigende Gourmands müssen nie mehr auf ein Glas Rotwein auf dem Berggipfel verzichten. Trekking-Mahlzeiten präsentiert den neuen Rotwein in Pulverform. Das Getränkepulver im praktischen Portionsbeutel weist wie ein leichter Wein aus der Flasche einen Alkoholgehalt von 8,2% auf. Für Expeditionen in Schnee und Kälte wurde zudem der passende Glühwein in Pulverform entwickelt. Für den besonderen Augenblick im abendlichen Camp.

*ahem*
Translation:
Mountain climbing gourmets no longer have to go without Gluhwein the next time you find yourself on the mountain top.  "Trekking-Mahlzeiten" presents the newest (WTF?) red wine in powdered form! The drinking crystals in the practical sized pouch exhibits much like a light bottled wine, complete with an Alcohol content of 8.2%.  This pallatable Gluhwein was developed explicity for expeditions in the snow and cold.  For those special moments in your evening camp.

Unusual Canned Foods From Around The World
http://www.relaxinghub.com/2009/06/unusual-canned-foods-from-around-world.html
Link includes, but not limited to, canned:
-Armadillo Meat
-Creamed Possum
-Buzzard Gizzards
-Pork Brain
-Beef Flavoured Bamboo Worms
-Brown Curry Mole Crickets
-Roasted Scorpions
-Giant Bug Chili Paste
and various other 'interesting' canned foods.

How about some canned silk worms... see 2nd photo http://mlmcored.wordpress.com/2009/06/16/strange-canned-foods-ii/
and for "Bird Nest Drink", see the 4th photo.  Also on this same link is, 'Roasted Crickets with Eggs'.


I guess it all depends on what you are use to, but even still... oh my yikes....  :-X


This one doesn't look completely terrible: canned bacon.  Not saying I would eat it, just saying that, when compared to that which is listed above, this at least looks like a reasonable possibility, not that I would buy it: http://gizmodo.com/5012656/ .

I heard about squeezable bacon a few months ago, but this thread has been more entertaining than the first time I read about this product.

Now, from the alternative media, how bacon is BAAAAAAAAAAAD!!!!!!!!! (no this is NOT parody/satire....)
Quote
Among my fondest childhood memories is savoring a strip of perfectly cooked bacon that had just been dragged through a puddle of maple syrup. It was an illicit pleasure; varnishing the fatty, salty, smoky bacon with sweet arboreal sap felt taboo. How could such simple ingredients produce such riotous flavors?

That was then. Today, you don't need to tax yourself applying syrup to bacon -- McDonald's does it for you with the McGriddle. It conveniently takes an egg, American cheese and pork and nestles it between pancakelike biscuits suffused with genuine fake-maple-syrup flavor.

The McGriddle is just one moment in an era of extreme food combinations -- a moment in which bacon plays a starring role, from high cuisine to low....

Syrup on back bacon or peameal.  If it's just regular strips of bacon, I like them crispy and by themselves.  As a matter of fact, I had bacon and eggs last night for supper and a toasted tomato and bacon sandwich the night before.  Bet my arteries are hardening now.   :nod:

I'm sorry, but am I the only one who thinks the bacon in a bottle looks like....um, not bacon?  Maybe it was just the colour in the picture!
As for the haggis, where can I get some??  I got hooked on that stuff last year at the Scottish Irish festival here in town.
