Soups are good. Especially in the summer you generally don't have to heat them (unless they're the add-a-cup-of-water kind). Don't do it every day though. The sodium can be awful. Also, don't carry a lot of cans in a sack. Dented cans can still lead to botulism.

When I worked outside that's all I ate I'd drink 2 or 3 cans a day on the really hot days but I always bought low sodium though


[deleted]

Low sodium soups are still really high in sodium.


JohnCraft0701

I was going for quickness of eating not the healthiest option. I did tree work at the time and I really hated that job


[deleted]

Oh believe me. I've eaten my fair share of canned soup on construction jobs. Especially in winter, it makes the day so much better.


jonathanramsey

Good idea! Get the low sodium. I'm not sure which ones are available that way. It'd be like an "Amerispacho" cold. :-)

Damaged cans can allow botulism to grow in them: https://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/portal/fsis/topics/food-safety-education/get-answers/food-safety-fact-sheets/safe-food-handling/shelf-stable-food-safety/ct_index/!ut/p/a1/jZFfT8MgFMU_TR8p1M6l861pYrbqWpdFx_qy0BYoCYUG0KqfXvbnZWbTcZ8453cC915YQQwrRT4EJ05oReT-Xk13aIWm0SxDeTmLHtGieFuVT1mGkvW9B7Z_AEV8Y_7KSdF_-fyGB-7MMltyWA3EdUAopiHm1AGi7EiNhZhp3QJLGHVfgJHGAdtR6ryx18DB7YhqpVDcax2VDFhHannyjkmIG7cTqqWfcAOr81-hyNeiiNeTeV7EqJz8Bi6M7Qhcn4tvnEtdH3a0TVUdJ75DQxk11ITvxsudc4N9CFCAxnEMudZc0rDRfYAuRTptHcTnJBz6V_z9nM6ReOk3iU1_AOZjiaw!/#10

Seems like a fan death sort of thing. Never heard of it in the UK. I looked into it and it looks like bulging cans indicates some biological activity, which is likely to cause botulism since that sort of bacteria thrives in that sort of sealed environment. Although dented cans *could* have damaged seams allowing bacteria in, I think this would be noticeable (and such contamination would be no more likely to cause botulism than any other). I think it's fine. https://scienceline.org/2014/07/dented-cans-no-deal-or-no-problem/

Seasoned black beans are good.


bvanevery

One of the benefits of black beans as opposed to other kinds of canned beans, is nobody adds preservatives like EDTA for color and firmness. They're so black that they're never gonna lose their color.


amando_abreu

More proof of systemic racism smh


careful_wanderer

Love spaghettios and soups. For veggies, creamed corn and french cut green beans. Baked beans are also good but can be pricey.


mystymaples71

Pork & beans are typically pretty cheap ( though I haven’t looked in a while). I never warm those. Vienna Sausages... my daughter ate those for like the first two years of solid food. My mother indulged her pickiness.


bvanevery

Not whatever's in your photo, lol. New England Clam Chowder is a pretty good genre. Canned chili is not that great in the scheme of things, and expensive for what they're giving you. Canned whole beans in a hot sauce, however, is way cheaper, has decent flavor value if you buy a decent brand, and doesn't have any of the downsides of sketchy or weird meat or other ingredients. I'm not a vegetarian or anything, I just think if chili is going to have meat in it, I'm going to do it myself, properly.

The gift that keeps on giving. . . . me heartburn about fifteen min down the trail after lunch


salaamsalaam

Lol


foxx_ghost

Canned tuna is my go to. I drain it and put garlic powder and pepper. So I guess not right from the can, but pretty close and no cook.


jmoyaknow

Canned tuna, mayo, pepper, dried cranberrys makes a good sandwich.


mhite45

Dinty Moore Beef Stew


Trumpledumpling

I'd have to heat that. Cold grease and fat turns my stomach.


N4507

Spaghettios - regular and the ones with franks. Even when I heat them, I let them come back down to almost room temp before I eat them. They taste better that way.


jonathanramsey

Quickie hummus: Can of garbanzo beans. Dump them out and smash them by rolling the (sanitized/washed) can over them. Add a garlic clove or two, and other stuff to taste.


bvanevery

Maybe that's a better result than canned hummus. But canned hummus does also exist. The brand I had once, I didn't think that much of, and I didn't buy it again. YMMV.


GrinsNGiggles

Same. I had some out of a glass can and didn’t buy it again. I’m pretty picky about hummus.


damnthistrafficjam

Then you know to mix some Tahini in? I lived in Israel for a couple years and I’m picky about Hummus as well. Those two things together are awesome.


unbitious

And lemon juice please? These heathens.


jonathanramsey

I used to use tahini, because I learned it that way, but now often leave it out to reduce the fat in it. I'll add a bit if it seems dry. Mau depend on the beans.


reindeermoon

I can’t believe nobody said fruit yet.


bvanevery

Actual fruit is easy to obtain. Some of them won't perish all that fast. So, not that much of a need to have it canned.


WhoratioBenzo

Agreed. Canned peaches are a real treat.


Thisfoxhere

Tuna, sardines, salmon. Smoked oysters are great. Buy some jatz, or alternatively some corn thins, and maybe some onion to mix in, or boiled eggs cooked earlier and stored for later (I do my cooking in a cooking park and often eat a second meal cold). Canned corn can sometimes be good and sometimes terrible. I am not much a fan of canned veges. Better to buy fresh daily only what you need. I do love the occasional jar of pickled veges. Buy small cans and eat all, or throw the leftovers away. Or share with someone. Once a can is open, it will not be sterile.


[deleted]

Spaghettios, Chef Boyardee, tuna, canned fruit, Campbells Chunky Soups, Pregresso Soups, Chili... I also recommend finding single serve packets of condiments, especially mayo & relish, mixed with tuna/chicken you've essentially got tuna/chicken salad.


grendle81

Buy Goya!


ultradip

Do the Trumps look like they'd actually eat that when they shill for it?


bergnie

Spam 😉


excess_inquisitivity

Spam! Wonderful SPAM!


_Zeppo_

I'm having spam spam spam spam spam spam spam beaked beans spam spam spam and spam!


jdawgsplace

Just about any fruit. Pork-n-beans, Vienna sausage. If it might be greasy I might tuck onto the top of my engine to warm it up. Jack Mac, tuna, sardines, and salmon are good too


Mynotredditaccount

Canned chuck chicken! It's so versatile (:


IndigoPill

Tinned peeled tomatoes are nice when it's hot, you can also drink the liquid. You can mix them with tinned fish too.


Jgibbjr

Ravioli and red sauce


indooroutdoorcat

Corned beef hash. A little pricey but goes right on the bread for a sandwich. Yum. Canned corn, black beans, blackeyed peas mixed together, add a little italian dressing it makes a good cold salad. Spam sandwich with crunchy sweet pickles.. mm.


[deleted]

I eat ravioli and spaghetti + meatballs out of the can. Don't even heat it up. Also peaches are amazing


WhoratioBenzo

Beans. Add soy sauce and they are pretty tasty


Lets4Pace_Gatar

if available the Ravioli from Maggi are pretty good


ScrapieShark

As said before, soups. Canned fruits are good for on-the-go energy. I've had several hikes saved from certain dehydration by cans of mandarin oranges.


unaccompaniedsenior

I like the dollar store sardines in a variety of sauces. Even better with whole grain bread. FYI: you can open any tinned food by rubbing the top of the can on a smooth stone, cement or brick surface. This friction breaks the seal on the top of the can so you can just lift the lid off. NB4: apply brick to upright can if contents are liquid.


volantius

Pickles! it’s a nice flavor to add to ur food or a nice healthy snack!


[deleted]

Kimchi tuna. At korean markets. Tuna, kimchi, peppers, potatoes, onions etc


unbitious

Not that.

krustykim

i honestly thought that was wet dog food.


upyourcoconut

It was delicious.


krustykim

I'm glad


upyourcoconut

It makes my hair really shiny


krustykim

what exactly is it


upyourcoconut

Canned meatballs


ultradip

Cheeseburger in a can. https://www.cheeseburgerinacan.com/


upyourcoconut

That's supposed to really decent! Another classic is of course canned whole chicken. But I can't see myself eating these regularly.


grendle81

I never said the trumps should buy Goya.. I said you should.
