Nice to see that the chicken comes pre-digested for efficiency :)

That chicken wasn’t a canned chicken.. that was it’s coffin

The chicken when you first poured it out looked like it was about to get up and say ‘Put me out my misery’

I am originally from Boston, and we grew up on the brown bread.... the trick to making it so much better is slathering the brownbread with butter and pan frying it in a shallow pan on both sides until crispy... goes great with baked beans and kielbasa

That chicken was beaten into that can! It didn't go willingly!

That poor chicken looks like it already went through the apocalypse.

I grew up during ww2 when many things were rationed, including many food items. A lot of the time canned food items was all we could get. To me they were always pretty good. Especially the brown bread. It is still one of my favorites, especially warmed a little. You would be surprised at how good things taste when you know it is all you have and all you will have for a long time. I feel sorry for young people today, they may have to go through what we went through and maybe even worse.

I've been stocking the whole chicken in my pantry. It comes deboned now and sells for around $10 a can. Not the most pleasant but will go good with noodles or mashed potatoes and gravy. Hunger has no bounds. Yummy!!!

I think that poor chicken went through an apocalyptic event all by itself. I'll do fine on bread and cheese thanks very much. Lol.

That’s a canned pigeon and I won’t be convinced otherwise.

So you’re telling me I’ve been using a cheese scraper as a pie cutter/spatula for my 21 years of life?!?!

When she poured that chicken out of the can, I literally just froze and stared for several seconds with my mouth open in horror. Good lord, I've seen blobs in horror movies that looked more appetizing. :O

Hi Emmy! Just FYI, in case no one else has shared... that Sweet Sue Chicken in a Can (without giblets) has been around since at least the 1960s, and perhaps much longer. Bumble Bee, the company that makes it, has been around since 1899. I was born in 1961, and I remember my mother using it occasionally. The people who open up that can expecting to serve it as is from the can are missing the point. This product came out at the time when women were just entering the workforce, and were still expected to get a good meal on the table when they got home. Coming home and cooking a whole chicken, then preparing a casserole or serving side dishes took time. With Sweet Sue's, you got the whole chicken (except the giblets, which were rarely included in anything except Sunday dinner giblet gravy) *AND* stock (hence the gelatinous 'broth' and the inclusion of the bones in the can). A housewife could take it from there to make any number of dishes that she would have made "from scratch" without having to spend the extra time cooking the chicken. As it always went into a main dish with other ingredients or casserole, most of the things other people are critiquing it for (including the fact that it's very salty) were not really relevant. It was still popular in the south when I was a grown woman, though a bit less so now, it's still popular enough to still be around. :)

this is what depression looks like as food an entire chicken slowly falling out of a can

I say buy the cheese direct from WSU. You will save a lot of money that way, even if you are in The furthest shipping zone. The Amazon price is almost the equivalent of 3 cans from WSU online. Great video, I learned something.

For those who are curious- N.E. Brown Bread is a descendent of British steamed puddings which were one of the few types of bread easily makable at home before the mid-to-late 19th century because almost no homes had ovens- they had hearths. They'd make the thick batter, roll it in a towel or cheese cloth, and then steam it in a dutch oven. Since the canning process locks in moisture and allows you to cook something without drying it out, steamed pudding was a great candidate for the process, so it was one of the earlier canned products. Another common steamed pudding is the memorably named British dish Spotted Dick. You really have to heat that brown bread up to see the beauty in it. When you loosen up those starches, crisp it up, and pair it with a dairy fat like cream cheese or butter, it really becomes delicious. I think it's at its best when griddled with butter. I must admit to giggling a bit when she was trying to get the bread out of the can- the process of getting canned brown bread out of the can is so ingrained in me that I always thought it was obvious- I'm clearly wrong. Part of the problem is that she has one of those fancy side-opening can openers. If you have a regular can opener, you. can just use the bottom lid as an easy way to push the bread straight out without digging into it. If you're going to use a spoon to push it out, you use the flat surface of the back of a cooking spoon to push against the bottom of the loaf, around the edges, until it breaks from the sides and then it comes out easily. I didn't know she was in R.I. Hi Neighbor!

Whoever sweet Sue is, I want you to know, youre not sweet. Youre sadistic af.

I love the way you just bite into that stuff full force...no reservations at all....you never make that "oh god this is gonna taste terrible face" you're a brave woman.....love your videos

"Oh that poor sad chicken" bursts out laughing 😂

I haven’t seen you since the poppin cookin days..before I was a father of a 3 year old boy...now I have to go back and rewatch those videos with him and order him a few of those as well. Great seeing the channel after so long.very nostalgic to me.

That canned chicken is why we need to fight for world peace.

My soul left my body as that chicken slid out that can 💀 Emmy you are so brave for trying it!

Emmy is looking at the chicken like, "what am I supposed to do with this"????? That poor chicken! Emmy you are so brave!!

Hi Emmy, - B&M brown bread comes out of the can best if you open the can with old fashion opener that cuts on the lid and makes a dangerous wheel razor blade but it can fit through the can. Take both can ends off and roll can on table while pressing down on the side to loosen the bond to the can. Then put one end back on and push on that end and it pops out the open end. You need to push pretty hard but it will pop out. You need to be careful as the bread exits and when you take that wheel razor blade off the now freed bread end. Always a family favorite. It comes with raisins too. Best sliced thin toasted with butter and/or honey.

Looking at that chicken was harder than looking in the mirror

That chicken looks like it was beaten to death then forcefully shoved into that tiny can

A lot of this sort of food was (and still is) great for people who live in isolated areas. And I mean _really_ isolated. There are a number of places in Canada, for instance, where "grocery shopping" means making a six-month order, having it flown in at great additional expense, and hoping you didn't forget anything because "popping back to the store" is six months away. And with electricity being unreliable, you can't count on things remaining frozen. Fuel, too, is expensive, and generally firewood isn't plentiful, so you could keep a simple hob hot on the same stove that was heating the place, but getting an oven fired up to heat is an extravagance. Dried foods often make up a large part of your diet as well (take fish and brewis - or as the Nova Scotians would call it, salt cod and pork scraps - which consists of salt cod, salt pork and hardtack), but nobody wants to live on very little but that, waxed root vegetables, and whatever you can grow fresh in a harsh climate (with a bit of canned local wild berry preserves). Canned goods, even if they're not quite the same as most of us are used to, were a godsend to those communities.

You have my respect, taking nice healthy bites and doing full taste test, you live the philosophy I have, "Never say you don't like it till you try it." Thank you for giving me new ideas.

I have seen the chicken in a can in my local store and I was curious. Watching this cured any curiousity and turned it to horror.

The chicken looks so damn scary and slimy like a snake vomited it up or something she’s brave lmao I would have ended my video at that point 🤣✌🏾

That cheese is actually impressive . That chicken.. lord emmy😭😭

I love how you don't overreact or insult any of the food just calmly explain. Saying that the canned chicken looked nasty with that wet raw looking skin. The cheese looked good and I would so use that bread for a rich bread and butter pudding 😂

You should've did an update video on how you felt the day after eating that "chicken"....

All I can hear is Gordon Ramsay screaming “ITS ROTTEN”

All these canned foods would definitely be a fun Make It Fancy episode 😂

I just spent 45 min finding this video because I remember watching this so long ago and I’m getting so much nostalgia

Emmy I didn’t flinch during the frog video, the bull testicles, or the whole black chicken in a pumpkin-but that disintegrated jellied chicken was pretty gnarly.

Guys quit dissing the chicken that is quality, free range, organic chicken farm raised in Chernobyl Dudes thanks for the support I love you all

I literally searched "canned bread" since I wanted to know if there is any other place but Tentacle Paradise where it's being sold

I’m love B&M brown bread (made in Portland, Maine). It’s best if you wrap it in foil, bake for a bit to warm it, and then butter it. So good!

Y’all out here not realizing that the transition food wise into the apocalypse is gunna be easy for her because she knows what to expect now

I swear I thought canned bread was just something spongebob made. I didn't know it was actually real 😭😭😭

We must keep Emmy safe. Shes so soft spoken and wholesome

Brown Bread is AMAZING. Especially warm with a bit of cream cheese

5:30 Squidward: I bet they won't have... * Gasp * They have it! *C A N N E D B R E A D* This town is great!

When I was a starving college student, I occasionally got the canned bread on sale, but mine had raisins in it, so it was actually tasty. I did finally learn to bake bread and made several loaves every Sunday. I had to guard them as they cooled because otherwise I'd come into the kitchen and see my roommates with huge, thick slices of it in their mouths with butter running down their chins.

I have several of these Canned Whole Chickens in my stash. It works well for Chicken&Rice and Chicken&Noodles. A bit of trouble to debone it, lots of bone bits.

When she opened the bread, I got a nice chuckle at the vacuum seal comment, thinking of Steve1989MREInfo... "Nice hiss!"

The canned bread reminds me of that one episode of Spongebob when Squidward is in the town with others like him

Imagine being killed only for Sue to shove you into can.

You are the bravest woman alive for eating that chicken, I'm calling the Pope right now. During my starving college student days, one of my favorite treats was a can of Sweet Sue chicken and dumplings. I thought it was actually good, but there was that one little bone you always had to look out for. Great videos.

Hi Emmy, My grandmother was from Maine moved to Boston at 18. Boston brown bread is best with raisins. You need to slice and butter the bread, wrap it in foil, and place in the over to warm. Hot dogs are always paired with the beans and brown bread, This dish is from the East Coast specifically to Boston. (Most people in California have never heard of Boston brown bread in a can.) My grandmother never served chicken with brown bread and Boston baked beans it was always served with hot dogs. Of course she grew up during the great depression when food budgest were tight, and then World War II with food rashioning. She said it was a fine Saturday night meal. They liked it so much, it would be most likely repeated on a week night.

The hunters and serious campers around where I live tell me the canned chicken is actually great as a campfire food if you open the can, add a "handful" of rice to the can, add a seasoning (pepper, thyme, paprika, whatever), and let cook over the fire until all the moisture is absorbed by the rice. I could never understand why canned chickens continued to be stocked at my local grocery big box stores, but that's why. Campfire cooks apparently like them.

Please don’t eat that chicken. You seem like a nice person.

The brown bread in a can is fantastic. I've been buying it for years.

That chicken was so undercooked I can still see it trying to cross the road.

I have seen canned chicken before, but this one looked like the victim of a car crash. Made me gag

That canned chicken looks like a decomposing corpse from a horror movie minus the blood yuk 🤢

Brown bread, hot dogs (grilled in butter) and baked beans (kidney). Saturday night dinner for ever growing up. Put the brown bread on the same griddle as hot dogs in butter. Amazing!!!!

We lived in a camper with our three kids for over a year and used canned Chicken to make a really delicious Chicken Noodle dish. It's great when you don't have freezer space. I believe you can find it at Walmart for a little cheaper, and without the bones. The Brown Bread is really good with Baked Beans or any bean dish. The Cheese was made at WSU. My daughter got her degree there in Food Science and Human Nutrition. That can sometimes make it interesting to eat with her.

Could you imagine surviving the apocalypse, only to choke to death on a bone from your canned chicken!?!? That would just be the worst, lol.

The apocalypse came for that chicken a long time ago....

In the late 70’s our neighbors had a house fire and they moved in with us. We went from a family of five to a family of 11 in a matter of a day. We had food donations pouring in from all over our town. We got a lot of canned items including a ton of canned hams and one canned chicken. No one wanted that chicken. One day one of the boys and I were bored and decided it was a good idea to cook that chicken. However, we drained all the liquid off and wiped it down with paper towels. It wasn’t bad. We both picked off the thing and it was gone in short order. When I told my mom that we ate it and that it wasn’t bad, she just said “I’ll take your word for it”. You brought back a fantastic memory. Thank you

Hello Emmy, when I was a kid a long time ago we were poor and relieved government food. We had chicken in a can, peanut butter, cheese and so on. So I know what it is like. We enjoyed it. 😋

Loved that Emmy is not one of those over acting/reacting people when taste testing... Very chill woman, love it! 😂❤

That chicken looks like roadkill, you're a brave person.

We used to eat that exact canned brown bread when I was a kid...ate it spread with cream cheese....It's really good!!!...has a sweeter taste to it....really dense and moist!!!

8:07 "get that lucky moss" LMAOOOOOO

Chicken is so easy to not get wrong- *Chicken plops out of can* ...I was mistaken.

there is this channel called English Heritage and they have a series called the "Victorian way", they have recipes from victorian times. it would be amazing if you could maybe try one of the recipes

This was the first video I ever watched of hers and I was hooked. And yes cougar gold cheese from the great state of Washington is wonderful stuff

The best way to get the brown bread out of the can, open both ends but only remove one lid. Use the other lid to push the bread out. Works every time.

when you were pouring the chicken out, i swear i could smell it.

so this is why squidward bought canned bread.

Cougar Gold is good cheese. Just need some Ritz and you're good. The bread in a can is meant to go with baked beans just like you said. It's also great lightly toasted with butter or cream cheese. The thinly sliced Cougar Gold works for sure! Whole chicken in a can can't be saved. Now if you got the boneless stuff that comes in a can like tuna you could make some fine enchiladas. Had a nice lunch made by high-school students using that.

I recently found B&M bread and tried it. It was interesting but following the peanut butter and jelly and it was so good

I’d eat the cheese and bread. I don’t think the ovens are gonna work once the zombies come anyways 🤷🏼‍♀️

As a WSU alumni, I can confirm that that cheese is actually insanely good. Especially the pepper jack kind.

*howling laughter* Like most people who never believe in chicken in a can until they hold it in their hands, Emmy keeps repeating "chicken...in a can..." as if that will make it more or less real. :) I always love that part of people seeing it for the first time. (source: me getting it sometimes at food banks growing up as "holiday" food after they run out of turkeys)

I'm from RI too! I got so excited when she said that's where she was lol. But yeah, used to eat that brown bread almost once a month. Tastes good after warmed up in the over with some butter on top (if you're so lucky to have it in the apocalypse)

Seeing that chicken made me realize I wouldn’t survive an apocalypse. 🙃

Chicken : “all my life I had to fight.” RIP 😩

When she was about to eat the chicken I said Emmy noooo so loud😭

B and M beans are the best! Childhood memories as that was part of our Saturday night dinners!! Burgers, cottage cheese, BnM beans and ripple chips!! Love ya Em! Kristy in Missouri 😃🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I love how happy she is regardless of what she’s eating. She seems super nice to be friends with!

Canned bread is absolutely delicious! It's so good warmed with butter. My mom and I use to eat canned bread together, when I was a kid. It's a fun memory.😊

We still have this in our Kroger stores here in Georgia. Not $27! When I lived in Indiana, this canned chicken was great when my kids were small and we were on a budget. I think it was like $6.99. I would open the can clean all the meat off the bone, and used it for chicken & noodles, or soup. If chilled could use for chicken salad. It actually isn't bad

"One wheel of cheese costs about $22" Damn I just checked the link she put for it and it is now $69.99. xD

2:01 me coming out of my room after 9 years

I’ve been seeing that bread in the store and every time I see it I hear Squidward in my head saying “Wow!! they have it...canned bread!!” 😅 I’m always tempted to buy it but never do.

Hate to correct you, but I was raised on canned baked bread with my homemade baked beans. I'm 70 and live in California. Yes, California does, and has had this bread. YUMM.

I absolutely love your videos. You are such a delight to watch and listen to.

My dad gets that exact cheese every year for Christmas. I was soooo skeptical of it at first, but now my whole family looks forward to it every year. It’s actually fantastic lol

That chicken is how I feel all the time: sad looking and salty 😂

I actually can chicken breast pieces in mason jars with a pressure canner and we actually love it because it’s really tender kinda like stewed meat. Its great for things like Indian food where you just cook rice and heat up the chicken and tikka masala sauce within like 30 minutes (for the rice). And have an actual real dinner ☺️

I absolutely LOVE that canned brown bread. It's becoming harder to find. I'm going to have to learn to make my own. I think it's basically all-purpose flour, cornmeal, and molasses with a few other ingredients.

Anyone else remember that Spongebob episode, where squid Ward moves into his dream town and he found his favourite canned bread? He was onto something!

I would hate to be the chicken that grew up to be stuffed in a can 😭

My favorite B&M is their brown bread with raisins. Great video and thank you for sharing!

Love that you have Cougar Gold Cheese. My parents went to Washington State. The dairy there also made great milk, they said. And my mom would make us hot dogs with beans and B&M brown bread, which was odd because we never lived anywhere near New England. But I did love the bread.
