WHY are you promoting anything with "Maltodextrin" in it?? Maltodextrin is an EXTREMELY DANGEROUS chemical and ingredient. Do your research... Maltodextrin causes so many diseases and cancers.....and anything with Aluminum of any kind, used as an anti-caking agent is deadly, as the Aluminum component attaches to the Central Nervous System, thereby causing Alzheimer's, Dementia, spinal cord diseases, bone diseases, and nerve damage. And drinking out of Aluminum cans, over time, causes the Aluminum to attach to the Gray Matter coating of the brain, leaving Aluminum Plaque deposits that decrease the synapse firing of normal brain function......WTF??? As an ER/ICU/Trauma Nurse, I highly recommend that you rethink what you promote. I apologize for the harshness, but I see the consequences of fools ingesting Maltodextrin and Aluminum anti-caking agents.....example: Auguson Farms "Whole Eggs" have Aluminum in it......BAD. Whereas, the Auguson Farms "Scrambled Eggs" does NOT have any Aluminum or any other deadly chemicals or metals in it. And canned fish......AVOID ANY PACIFIC OCEAN HARVESTED FISH AND SEAFOOD, AS THE 2011 FUKISHIMA NUCLEAR PLANT CONTINUES TO DUMP TOXIC NUCLEAR MATERIAL INTO THE PACIFIC OCEAN, THEREBY, RADIATING ALL FISH AND SEAFOOD. ****ONLY BUY TUNA AND OTHER FISH/SEAFOOD THAT IS HARVESTED FROM THE ATLANTIC OCEAN. SALMON IS BEST FROM FISH FARMS THAT ARE REGULATED BY THE FDA.....RIVERS IN THE NORTHWRST REGION OF THE LOWER 48 HAVE BEEN CONTAMINATED WITH THAT SAME NUCLEAR WASTE FROM FUKISHIMA.....LEVELS AREN'T AS HIGH, BUT, IT IS STILL THERE. ALASKA, TOO, WAS SEVERELY AFFECTED. BECOME EDUCATED TO PROTECT YOUR FAMILIES AND YOURSELVES. It is really simple to prevent health issues than to overcome health problems that could have been prevented in the first place.😊

We can beef and chicken ourselves. Stuff the quart jar (preferably wide mouth), add a tablespoon of salt, process in a pressure canner. We get our chicken from my cousin. He raises a bunch every year for himself and a dozen or so relatives. Most folks don't want their carcasses, so he splits those with us and we can bone broth. We also pick the carcasses clean and get a few pounds, which we vacuum pack and freeze. We get our grass fed beef, from an old friend of my wife. Same process as with chicken. Easy peasy! Meat and gravy from broth, over bbiscuits makes a great meal. We do buy other canned meats and fish though. Love tuna, salmon, and several flavors of Spam and Vienna Sausages. Your video is excellent. Very informative. Thank you for your time and effort sir.

I am VERY pleased (and rightfully so) with my canned fish from Wildfish Cannery. Everything I've purchased from them might as well be on a gourmet charcuterie (sp) plate or on an extremely well-made salad, and I haven't even tried it warm yet. It is not cheap at all, we're talking 5-10 bucks a can, but it is incredible, and of course you pay a premium but imagine the satisfaction and morale boost when the only easily available option is freeze dried TVP or yet more rice & beans, and you take a bite of tender, perfectly smoked king salmon.

One important thing I didn’t see was straight up kipper snacks! King Oscar is the best for my family. I did side by side comparisons with my daughter and brother, and we all agreed the other brands were not as good. Is it budget friendly? Not really anymore but it’s nice to have while you’re out hiking or mushroom hunting or gardening or just busy. I like sardines in mustard the most, but I’m the only one here who does! My husband said he doesn’t like sardines but I added some in olive oil to a pasta salad and he ate plenty and didn’t complain. It was delicious in an oil vinegar pasta salad. I’ll start sharing recipes as soon as I figure out editing.

You are missing out on so many excellent things! Lobster, shrimp, scallops, oysters, clams, mussels, bacon, pulled pork, ribs, ham. I can't do without them. Same for Catholic clergy, they can smoke and drink but deny themselves the need of intimate human congress which is very unnatural and contributes to the high amount of criminality they commit. They kept the deleterious vices and gave up the most human thing of all. And I don't understand why Jews keep kosher since Jews do not believe in an afterlife, there's no punishment for not keeping kosher. It was just proscribed due to trichnosis fears for the pork and someone's dislike of/allergy to shellfish.

I will bet you never had a Sweet Sue canned chicken. When my wife and I got married over fifty years ago my mother would bring us some food every now and then. One of the items we kept in the pantry for a long time was a canned Sweet Sue chicken. It was a whole chicken in a can. I do not know what my wife finally did with the canned chicken but it is not in our pantry, now. I have no idea how the producers actually got a chicken in a can or what it actually tasted like, but I consciously never ate the Sweet Sue chicken. I keep a few cans of corned beef and Spam lying around, but that’s it.

Canned whole chicken is good, although it tends to not hold together so well in the can. It does make a good soup when you pull the bones out. It can also be eaten straight out of the can in a hurried situation. Another canned food to consider are the LaChoy chow mein/chop suey dinners. You get both meat and vegetables, and served over rice makes a good, filling meal. They do run to the expensive side, but worth it.

@tonette6592 2 ай бұрын

Commerically canned beef and pork and 'budget' meats vary greatly in that many have soy or wheat food starches added, and family members are allergic to one or another. Span is the 'purest' of the mixed meats. I have all meats and as for chicken, it is highly versatile, and with herbs, spices, and sauces, it varies your menu greatly. I have been experimenting with canned mackerel, and found that it makes comparable patties and casseroles very close to canned salmon, (Lemon helps.) I have all of the canned fishes.

I like the bacon flavor Spam best of all. You can slice it, fry it, and serve it with eggs, and it really tastes like bacon. Occasionally, the local Food Lion will have it on sale as cheap as $3.00 a can. Vienna sausage can be eaten as is, or you can use them like hotdogs. Mackerel can be cooked with scrambled eggs mixed in, and the leftovers can be made into fried fish cakes. I saw Keystone meats in the background. I tried the ground beef, but it's very loose. It might be okay for sloppy joes, but it's not as good as fresh hamburger for chili, goulash, or soup. I like to have chunks of hamburger in those dishes.

I have cases of spam prior to 2016. I called it my Hillary apocalypse stash. It didn't go to waste. i ate some of it during covid Didn't need to buy food for months. I had a pass to drive around though, so I did get fresh food and bought for several people so they didn't have to go out. Never understood people. we are in Earthquake country and need to have supplies in case there is an emergency. I got some MRE for my car, because I had to go through emergency training from the fire department once, and they told me I had to out fit for emergency there. Being stuck in my care for most of a day, due to truck overturning or even simple rain I finally got everything I need. Even the glass hammer in case my car ended up in water. Despite my area being dry.

Better yet is to learn to can your own. I'm canning bone broth today.

Concise summary very much in tune with my own experience. I was encouraged to look up the Pampa Mackerel which l’d never heard of. Every review on Amazon said it was awful and was a 15 oz can of brine holding a few pieces of fish. Amazon notes “discontinued by manufacturer. Can’t win them all I guess.

I tried the Pampa brand peaches, that I found at dollar tree, it was terrible. The fruit was not ripe at all. Js.

My favorite brand of tuna is Portofino. The can is totally packed with tuna, only a few drops of oil to drain. It's a little more expensive, but you get more fish in the can. With most cheaper tuna, once you drain the liquid the can is only half full.

Hi Les! Thanks for sharing this list. My favorites are sardines/herring, but chicken, salmon, and tuna are what I have more often. I have some canned turkey. Do you use canned turkey? (I think some people prefer to can their own turkey. Then again, some people just don't like canned turkey. Shrug. Just curious.) Your advice is always appreciated. Best wishes to the Chef Prepper family.

Corned beef hash. And thinly sliced fried spam with some over easy eggs! Doesn't get any better.

Your opening statement on this video is spot on and you should be very proud of that work. If you erred along the way, and I'm not saying that you did, you did it while doing your best and with complete integrity, while doing a complex task, so thanks for that, right off the top! I agree that sardines and herring are a good protein source, but I don't think the brands that you show are the best. Polar makes a Kippered Herring that has a smokiness that can't be beat (IMHO) and only has 100 mg of sodium for the whole can. Beach Cliff sells Fish Steak products that are, basically, large sardines cut across the spine to produce a "U" shaped slice of fish that is identical to a catfish steak, if you're familiar with those, where you live. Many sauces to choose from, as with most sardines. They're even available with soy bean oil, which I view as a plus, because soy bean oil keeps it inexpensive, compared to olive oil, and fat calories from any source are good in a survival situation. I was preparing to add a question about what you thought was the best canned ham and why you didn't include them, when you suddenly made the statement about not eating pork. I was of the understanding that Spam is made up of pork, in general, and ham meat, in particular, but your faith allows you to eat it? I don't understand.

The spam he showed was turkey spam.

@mrhalfstep 2 ай бұрын

Thanks for that. I don't eat Spam, as a rule, because it's just too salty for my tastes and, therefore, was unaware of all of the various varieties. Do you have any preferences for small canned hams, BTW?@@lindajohnson6539

Got all of those in the house !!! Plus got a bunker with it stored for myself !!! Now what you said about chicken is like what I do with Spam !!! Chicken is for soup pot pies chicken choy mein or over rice or if you wish over potatoes or biscuits !!! Same with spam it can be 1 can used as 1/2 of it for biscuits & gravy just mash it on up add milk or powered milk with water that is your gravy with biscuits !!! Other half is 1 or 2 thin slices for sandwiches for your self & the rest for cubes with peas some water chessnuts mayo with noodles that you have made that is great also if you got a can of mixed vegs like peas & diced on up carrots that will make it Christmas looking for you to eat !!! Then have some herring for a snack later on !!!

It works best in chicken and dumplings! It is a huge comfort food to me when stressed. If you don't have refrigeration you just need flour, salt, water and some way of cooking it.
