We don’t any have major gripes with canned foods, especially since they’re a convenient way to save time while making a complex recipe, an enormous meal, a quick side, or soup for one. However, there are a number of canned foods throughout the ages that crossed the line, in our humble opinion. We’re talking about both odd meat and foods that simply shouldn’t be canned for one reason or another. With that in mind, here are the 15 weirdest foods ever (and in many cases, still) available in a can.

WHAT? No Pork brains in Milk Gravy?
Been there, done that. One time I opened up my grandma’s ancient GE fridge and there was a pig’s head looking back at me. Next morning we had pig brains. Lots of ketchup.
Whatever it is, it’s comin’ to getcha.
Vienna sausages is another one, because I could never see myself eating wieners from a can.
How odd, as I just had a can of Vienna sausages myself last night while watching TV. Way back in the 1960's they were called Vī-enna sausages by the old timers. When the Covid-19 lockdown started, my wife ordered a case of Vienna sausages from Costco. That was really strange because up until then she wouldn't let me eat anything with "chemicals" in it. I continue to munch on them every day or two. Oh, she still draws a line with "Potted Meat" from a can, but I also love that and Spam too.
Helmet stew. With a lot of tabasco. Peaches and pound cake.
A meal fit for a king.
A few years ago, I bought a pack of 100 P-38s. Gave them to lots of friends and coworkers, and still have a couple dozen, though I don’t carry one on my keyring due to holes in pockets and pokes in the leg.
The P-38 is one of the all-time great machines.
The LRP’s were better if you could get some hot water.

Spotted Dick is a common dessert pudding in the UK. It’s actually pretty good. Never had the canned version.
Years ago I was in a Save-a-Lot supermarket and I saw a can of Hi-Power pork and beans. Of course I had to buy a few cans.
Hi-Power :)
I have a dried tarantula in a can.
We usually seal them in the Seal-A-Meal and freeze them. I’m only going to fry them up in BUTTER anyway, along with steaks, or use them in a quiche or casserole.
That’s a great idea!
This was before the availability of so many packaging options.... but I remember them being stored in the pantry, dried out mushrooms in mason jars.
I like Wisconsin Black Bear. Well fed. Also, lean meat. I marinate it, then grill it, but not too much! Medium Rare or it goes straight to shoe leather!
Sometimes I make ‘Pepper Bear’ which is just Pepper Steak with bear. ;)
We made some of the last bear Beau got into hamburger. I made a batch of Sloppy Joes for one of Beau’s Buddy Hunts - it still had some buckshot in it, but they ate it all, LOL!
I put a sign on the next Crock Pot I made for them, ‘Buckshot Free...THIS Time!’ :)
Me too and you still can on YouTube RED.
I miss old Justine, he was a trip.
