This is a cheeseburger. In a can...

One part should be wet and the other dry....so in a can, it’s all soggy or all dry.
EHEHHC!
Once I couldn't find my favorite cat anywhere, and, reverting to some sort of bizarre displacement reaction, I just stood there crying with my hand holdling down the can opener lever.
Please don't let the military in on this. If they find out about this, the gov't will waste eight bucks on them and we will be stuck eating that stuff. MRE's are bad enough.
One of the most stomach-turning sounds in the world is a cat loudly smacking when eating what we call, (in establishing some sort of psychological distance from,) "the wet stuff."
All that goes through your head during the juicy smacking sound is: Only God knows what's in that gross stuff. And I prefer to keep it that way.
Our cat, Mr. Aretha, can go from playfulness to playful biting in seconds. Sometimes, it happens so fast it startles me. Once when I flinched, he flopped ass over teacups and tumbled off the bed!
Whoops.
Seconds later, his head pops up from behind the edge of the mattress with a look on his face like “What the hell did you do that for?”
Even if they bagged the bun before canning it, it’s still a shelf-stable meat patty. Gack!
Same with the cheese.
gag.
no
“I wanna buy one just to see what it looks like.
Ghastly, no doubt, but still. I like spam and bully beef, how bad could it be?”
Great minds think alike! I’d love to try it. From what I found it is meant to be for hikers and mountain climbers, etc. And to add to the appeal you boil the unopened can for a while so it gets hot.
Let’s have a canned cheeseburger party! Cheers!
It contains only the most flavorful “meat-like product.”
Two words: lacquer & airbrushing.
When I worked in graphic arts in the 70s, we did a lot of Carls’ Jr. hamburger shots for ads. The photographer would spray clear lacquer on the the burger to make it look fresh and shiny. The lettuce was fake, the real stuff would wilt under the hot lights.
After the final shot was picked it was heavily airbrushed to make the burger look like a million whith shiny bright areas on the cheese, meat, lettuce and bun.
I’m sure it s all done in Photoshop now days.
:)
There is no way that cheeseburger came out of that can..
The can is not even open for crissakes...
Freepers are so gullible...
I used to edit an employee magazine for a large food processing company. Food images may be among the most difficult to shoot to make the food seem appetizing. In lots of local restaurant commercials the colors come out all wrong and drive customers away!
One of my worst assignments was trying to cook fried eggs sunny-side up so they looked appealing. Cooking them that way is a real challenge; you have to use ultra-low heat to get the whites to set without discoloring the yolks. If people routinely cook breakfast eggs that way easily I'd love to know how it's done!
It can be done, but only on a professional, restaurant style, stove where the heat can be regulated perfectly.
I swear, I don't know what this younger generation is coming to!
It is unsanitary and unappetizing to eat anything while in the can.
Even if the germs don't getchya, the stench will.
LOL
couple of amateur methods...
use the same low temp settings, and use a soup cover for the last 20 seconds or so to cook the top of the egg-white while not leaving the 'film' on the yolk.
or seperate the yolk from the egg-white..cook the white and drop on the yolk at a minute or two to go...
