  • Canned ham gets a bad rap. Sure, thinking about it for too long inspires a lot of questions, like: What's with the pale pink color and congealed texture? Why is its sodium content so high? And, most pressingly, how the heck is its shelf life so long? Still, prepared properly and served up in the right dishes, canned ham can prove a highly versatile - and shockingly tasty - meal enhancer. While putting it to use seems like a no-brainer (pop the can and plop it out, right?), there are quite a few tidbits you should commit to memory before hamming it up with the canned stuff. Here's the truth about canned ham.

    Have you ever had canned ham? What were your thoughts?

      My thoughts are if the apocalypse hits tomorrow, canned ham will be a new commodity. Money will have no power, but the ham will last for at least 5 years.

    Interesting, I've had some tinned ham in my cupboard for a few months that I haven't gotten round to opening. Never tasted it before so the purchase was just to see what it's all about. Planning on making sandwiches with it, with egg and butter.
    Been really getting into 'ready to eat' canned foods recently. My current go-to ones are chicken in white sauce and stewed steak - yes they're bland alone, but adding salt, pepper, garlic granules and onion powder takes them to another level.
    I also like getting canned Minced Beef With Onion, seasoning it as above, pouring it over thick cut fries, and powdering some parmesan on top. Mmmmm, divine.

    Last practically forever. Food is food and when you are in an emergency situation anything edible will fill your hunger cravings. Though these cheap canned meats do work very well for Vietnamese Sub sandwiches when you combine with pickled carrots, cilantro, seasoning salt, garlic butter, garlic powder, and cucumber.

  • @Khornecussion

    It's delicious and in a survival situation, I'd think I was eating like a king if I could get myself a gas powered burner and a pan to fry it in, then boil up some macaroni noodles, throw in some powdered cheese since that would have preserved just fine. ( Canned cheese would last a long time too if it's seal wasn't busted. Same for cheese spread like Velveeta if completely undisturbed and left in a controlled environment. ) - so you'd have mac and cheese mixed with spam cutlets.

    I like to freeze the cans so I can then easily cut all the grease off before slicing the meat. I didn't know about the issue with freezer caused expansion but then I keep the cans at room temperature and then just freeze the can for a couple of days to solidify the grease then I remove the meat, slice it thin and then put what I don't use in the fridge. I wonder if it would help to put the unused meat in to a vacuum bag abd then put it back in the freezer.
    I have one of those slicers like at the butcher so I can buy bulk pre-cooked meats like pepperoni, salami, summer sausage, bologna, etc.
    It's also not for health reasons that I don't add any salt to my food, I just have never added additional salt or pepper at the table since before I was a teenager. Now at 62, I hardly add any salt even while cooking. The only reason I have any salt in the kitchen is for freshly popped popcorn.

      But the grease and fats are about the best part along with salt and even better stuff with msg. Freezing? Never heard of that but put a slice on the gas stove burner and fire it super good. To each their own I guess

    Spam is more likely to be called Klick in Canada. US branded SPAM was never really seen in the grocery stores here until around the 90s. I wonder if it just couldn't meet Canadian meat import requirements.

    When they say ''preservatives' the big one are the added nitrates. I did not see much about how NITRATES are not good for us. Let alone when NITRATES are cooked with meat that form NITROSAMINES that are carcinogenic.
