  • Soup from a can? Of course. Tuna from a can? Why not? Chicken from a can? As long as it’s not an entire chicken, bring it on. Well, depending on how far back you go, a whole chicken in a can wouldn’t have been that strange.
    While there are only a handful of canned foods that might make sense to most consumers today, there was a time when you’d see a lot of other meals in a can that aren’t as common now. You can still find some of them in stores, though others have faded into obscurity. Here are some of the once-popular canned foods that no one eats anymore.

    I can buy almost half of these items in my local grocery store!
    And a big shout out to canned brown bread. That stuff is amazing. If you do any kind of prepping (which you should) this stuff keeps a long time (like most canned foods), tastes great, and helps keep a somewhat balanced diet in emergencies. What surprised me, is that i did not know you could get it with raisins! Now i have to go and buy some with raisins too. SMH.
    Maybe less of these items are available in areas that are less storm prone than where i live. But prepping is a way of life here, as every year you never know when hurricane "mayhem" is going to knock out power for weeks. Having food that you don't need to heat, and doesn't need to be refrigerated is going to keep you alive.

    Underwood Deviled Ham has been around for almost 150 years.
    Owen Wister described the can in the paper wrapper adorned with the lurid red devil complete with cloven hooves and the demonic tail in his novel THE VIRGINIAN, published in 1902, but describing life in the 1870s.
    Wister was a friend of Theodore Roosevelt, to whom he sent chapters for criticism and suggestions prior to submitting them for publication and the final compilation into the novel.
    "When you call me that, smile."
    Wister also mentioned canned tomatoes as a way to carry water for consumption in the dry environment of the high plains.

    I grew up in the 80s. Remember canned pudding and fruit cups. It’s crazy how people these days are environmentally conscious and want to cut down on plastics. We were there already. When I was a kid MOST foods you bought came in a glass jar, a glass bottle, a tin cup, a paper bag or a cardboard box. I remember ALL soda bottles were glass no matter the size. In the early 90s everything started going to plastic, even grocery bags and it was called so much better and less tree being cut down, etc…… if only we can go back.

      A glass jar is not necessarily better for the environment than a plastic cup. It's a very good choice environmentally if, and only if it gets reused like glass drinks bottles in parts of Europe. They get cleaned, relabeled and refilled, however even when that ideal case happens (as opposed to crushing and downcycling), reusing glass can sometimes have a larger CO2 impact than plastic packaging due to increased weight and space needs and the need to transport the cleaned bottles back. Depends on how far the glass needs to travel to be reused. Making a glass container just takes a lot more resources than making a plastic cup, so it's not a good idea environmentally if it's only going to be used once.
      Metal cans are decent, very recyclable, but also fairly energy intensive. For some things, plastic is actually a competitive choice environmentally and from a CO2 viewpoint, if you can make sure the plastic gets disposed or recycled properly, so it doesn't end up all over the environment.

    I noticed as my mother get older her taste has changed. She bought the brown bread in a can. She would add. Certain spices to things she said had no taste or could be better. I agree, lot food that was popular back then isn't popular now because people taste has changed. Fast food made life easier, frozen, quick cooking, microwavable. For sure fast food. Made it easier for a lot of people. Because of high blood pressure, diabetes, other illnesses. Food is not seasoned anymore you have to add your own seasoning, flavoring. But during this time when less is available. I bet you if a lot of food was in warehouses, people would buy them, add new flavoring and make it work. I know my mom and g ma would. They survived the depression. Once you live through tough times, you learn not to complain all food is bland tasteless till you add a little spice, flavoring, even salt and pepper, some herbs. Can make a lot these food taste good. I like the brown bread in a can.people need stop being so picky. If you are hungry, you will be happy to just have food. ✌😁🖖🙏🙂👋. Mama and nj.

    Ha, well I still eat about 5 of them , but I'm 57 and some are just comfort foods . Whole chicken in a can is actually pretty handy when making something like a lot of chicken tacos. Many small taco stands use it because it's storable and it's a set ratio of white/dark meat. Canned tamales are pretty simple ingredient wise , read the label , it's surprising . Same with chili.

    I love B&M brown bread, but cannot get it here in the South. I ordered some online last month and it was just as good as I remembered it! $5+ a can though. Cougar Gold cheese is $50 for a 30 oz. can!!! NO THANKS!

    You can get homemade tamales in almost any Walmart here in Phoenix metro, especially around the holidays. In Austin people would sell them door to door .

    Lol we had canned boiled peanuts the other day. My husband was going to darlington & packed them in a thermos. They are really good. A lot of gas stations just pour cans into the heating vessel so you might have eaten them & not known it.
