Christmas dinner in a can! It's advertised for gamers who don't want to get up or spend time cooking. There's also a vegan version... don't ask... it involves cauliflower, parsnips, and something called nut roast.

Why, one has to ask, is that third from the bottom layer identified as Brussel sprouts with stufffing OR broccoli with stuffing - don't they know what they put in the can?

Very true. And it is not.

Bubble

A lot of people should exercise more self control, its not that hard. 😠

Most places are word of mouth. But nicely.

Bubble

Thats right, I always give positive and negative feedback, in a very friendly way. 😱

Still you did have to let them know. If they want people to come back.

Bubble

Jolene I mentioned it to them at the end, it was a small diner and they've been struggling so didn't ask for a refund.
If it was a big posh restaurant I'd of asked for a 5 course meal on the house !😋

I hope that you sent it back and said something, Bubble.

Bubble

Mpp the ingredients have optional names as they all taste the same.
Still, if you slice off the christmas pudd and eat the rest together its better than a kick up the a*se with a heavy boot.

We were out last week and I ordered corned beef hash, one of my favourites.
The cook must have been having a flight of fancy because it bore no resemblance to the traditional corned beef hash and was cold to boot.

Thats two boots so I'm finished. 👢👢

Ms_Maddy

Haloumi is delish! I wouldn’t waste it on a pig.

Surreal_Heidi

I really like corned beef hash.

@KittyCounselor - I'm with you 100%. Like you, I don't eat mammals and mammal products... so this stuff is really unpleasant.

KittyCounselor

@togocat - Looks like your cat can't even stand the thought of that horrible food. I swear I'd eat some of the stuff I feed my cats before I'd eat that swill.

togocat

The person(s) who invented this should be sentenced to live on a diet of nothing but Christmas Tinners. For life.

Whatever you have to tell yourself...

KittyCounselor

Thank You @morepiecesplz, for giving us JM to feast on, which I do all day every day. I have to stare at him to get this weird-ass food out of my mind.

@Ketutar - good catch, comparing this to a trifle. "Fake meat" has its place. The bacon isn't bacon-tasting but makes a good sandwich, and veggie burgers can be tasty. Accept them for what they are, don't try to substitute and say they're the same.

@Surreal-Heidi - I've heard of turducken but haven't had it (or know anyone who has). Doesn't sound bad, but must be a lot of work...

Surreal_Heidi

I'd prefer a turducken. That's a deboned hen shoved inside a deboned duck shoved inside a deboned turkey. Yummy meats!!!

Ketutar

If I HAD TO eat one of those, I'd take the vegan version... though I'd rather not eat fake meat. It doesn't taste like real meat, just nasty. And, yes, I'd rather have chocolate cake sucking all those juices than mince pies and christmas pudding, or toblerone, yule log and gingerbread pancakes soaking in those juices...
Sounds like Rachel's Shepherd's Trifle.

bookish

I initially assumed this was a joke. Loved reading all the comments. [No brussel sprouts for me. Loved the idea of regifting. And totally agree about it being a sin to ruin Tobler.]
This had me thinking of a friend who had some type of food phobia where none of the food on her plate could touch each other.
Thanks for the fun. :)

KittyCounselor

You'd eat lamb hearts and lamb liver but not Brussel's Sprouts? I hate Brussel's Sprouts, but I also don't eat any mammals, so much of this conversation is nauseating. I need to lose some weight so I should read this every day as a great diet aid.

morepiecesplz

Sounds like you're a vet, chief_clerk... I bet you could handle this.

chief_clerk

Thinking I'll go back to MREs

Surreal_Heidi

mpp.... my criteria is what I would eat if I was literally starving to death. Most of the other ingredients I could choke down, but NEVER Brussel's Sprouts.

mauismom

what a great present to give for Christmas! just like the legendary fruitcake. i bet it would re-gift for years.

morepiecesplz

Brussel sprouts are the deal-breaker? Mince pies crammed in with scrambled eggs and gravy are okay? I'm rsvping a 'no' to dinner at your house. You haven't invited me yet, just wanted to be sure you knew I wasn't showing... ever...

Surreal_Heidi

I was able to get hold of some that has lamb hearts and lamb liver, but no lung, sadly.

racoonstar

More Googling...

In 1971 it became illegal to import haggis into the US from the UK due to a ban on food containing sheep lung, which constitutes 10–15% of the traditional recipe.

As haggis cannot be exported to the United States, it is instead made there, sometimes by Scottish companies.

Amazon has 112 entries for "haggis".

What's interesting is that an Amazon search for "haggis" also returned an entry for "SPAM Lite".

Surreal_Heidi

Neither do I. That's what turns me off about this. They need to make that green layer turn into more turkey.

racoonstar

I have trouble with the green brussel sprouts layer.

I don't eat brussel sprouts.

KittyCounselor

You make it sound so charming, @racoonstar, but even that cute coonie next to your entry wouldn't be caught dead biting into this gastronomic disaster. He'd be mining for bugs and lizards first.

Surreal_Heidi

Um................. no. Just no.

I still haven't gotten around to opening and eating my canned Haggis yet.

morepiecesplz

I knew of Haloumi, just didn't know of Haloumi pigs. Bread sauce sure sounds like gravy to me... my mother was not much of a cook, so I'll question every layer of this.

Watchman

They claim if you pinch your nostrils close, one can eat all most anything, keeping it down is another story.

racoonstar

Google to the rescue!

Halloumi or haloumi (/həˈluːmi/) is a semi-hard, unripened cheese made from a mixture of goat's and sheep's milk, and sometimes also cow's milk. It has a high melting point and so can easily be fried or grilled. This property makes it a popular meat substitute.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloumi

Bread sauce is a traditional English condiment, served with Christmas dinner. It is known as one of the great British classic sauces.

Bread sauce traditionally goes with turkey or chicken. Luckily we have some alternative delicious vegan versions or a roast or chicken. Sauces were traditionally used to cover up the bland or less-than-perfect meat.

RebeccaB

I've had a rule as long as I can remember - if I can't recognize it, I don't eat it!

Watchman

I would have had to first wash down a bottle of whiskey before trying this meal in a can. LOL ;-))

You can wash it down with a Jones Soda.

morepiecesplz

racs - I knew I could count on you to research this, but you muddied the waters... what the hell are Halloumi pigs? What's the differrence between vegan gravy and vegan bread sauce? How do you know where one ends and the other begins? And it's a sin to do this to Toblerone!

Watchman

Not even on Amazon as a gag gift. Like Can Unicorn meat.

racoonstar

I wasn't able to find it for sale in the US, but inadvertently stumbled across Merrick Thanksgiving Day Dinner and Christmas Day Dinner canned food for dogs. :D

And Blue Buffalo makes a Turkey Day Feast canned dog food. :D

KittyCounselor

OMG, MPP, where do you find this nasty stuff? I don't think you want to know what's REALLY in that can. I doubt they comply with the federal standard of only a certain percentage of rodent droppings. I think I need a second Prilosec after looking at this.
