It's been a staple in my backcountry hiking and alpine tour recipes for years, and Tuna just doesn't seem to cut it.
Anyone ever seen it over here??? If so, let me know!
Have looked literally everywhere for some canned Chicken Breast but can't seem to find it anywhere. I saw some on AmericaFoodAvenue.com (or something like that) but it's been out of stock for forever.
Sorry we dont tend to eat such shite out of a can in europe.
Both Aldi and Lidl have stuff like this, at least near me in canton Vaud. Last time I noticed they had about three or four varieties too, like chicken breast chunks in white wine sauce or just plain old chicken chunks etc.
The tins were bigger though, like 'standard tin size' which i guess adds half a kilo to carry around.
PS -- I never tried it, just saw it there!
Exactly.. spam is American.
What about corned beef? That is disgusting canned stuff that I was fed as a child. I remember my Grandma use to feed me tinned ham as well, yuk!

You've probably been looking in the wrong aisle of the supermarket:
Migros offers THIS assortment
Frische-Sortiment
which has been sucessful for decades. You prefer the breast, while I might recommend the "legs" on the left. That was what in the 1950ies/60ies, Mum prepared for me when we had a fullday school excursion. And I never had a problem with the freshness etc
Maybe you could try some of these instead http://www.oddee.com/item_96711.aspx
Pek Pork mmmmm Popular in the UK and always ask friends to bring some over. From Poland I believe and probably full of shit but in a sarnie with Branston Pickle.....marvelous
Feast your eyes on this beauty
Now that's something to look forward to after a long day of hiking
Don't look at it... I don't fancy vomiting after midnight...

If fresh (or cooked) chicken actually kept more than one day, this wouldn't be a problem. I certainly prefer fresh for single overnight trips though, but for long trips, fresh just doesn't keep, and I prefer not to get sick off bad meat.
Not sure why cooked chicken breast in a can is such a disgusting concept to some people. I mean, why is cooked canned Tuna considered normal if that's the case? It's not like we're talking about Spam-style "meat" here.
And thanks for the lovely picture of the bird in a can. That's truly disturbing! lol.
I think you've answered your own question.
Canned cooked meat goes back 200 years or more, and includes good and bad. The 'luncheon meat' we were served as kids, and other things like canned ox tongue, veer towards the 'bad' in my definition, whereas a decent brand confit de canard that can be found in any French supermarket can be very good indeed.
Chicken, however, somehow just doesn't feel right, and the pictures simply underline this feeling.
Canned quail, too.
However, I prefer to make my own confit and rillettes.
Can't see why one couldn't home can some chicken.

You just douse everything with Aromat or that other disgusting Maggi brown sauce, right?
