FWIW - this picture has been floating around since the mid 2000’s; the person who blogged about it cooked it super wrong. The instructions said to use a bain marie, and they didnt know what a bain marie, but saw you boiled water in it, so they just boiled the can. If you boil a can, water is 100% going to seep into it, and turn it into…what you see here.

I remember watching youtuber try these out. She said it tasted better than she expected. Like, not good, but edible enough in a pinch.

You can get a lot of things in a can.
Pasta. Meat. Cheeseburgers.
Whole chicken.

Cougar gold canned cheese is an incredibly popular Christmas present in

The Pullman airport has a vending machine with the big tins of cougar gold. For all your “oh shit I forgot to grab a $40 block of cheddar while in town” moments

Yes, cheeseburgers in a can are a real thing. Haven’t tried them myself, but I heard they’re not awful.

It’s a risky business model, going all in on catering to the post-apocalypse last-resort pre-cat-food desperate survival market.

As disgusting as these appear and sound on paper, every single review I’ve seen across multiple brands of these canned hamburgers/cheeseburgers has been positive. Because of those I’d give 'em a try if I ever saw them for sale.

It even has pickles, what’s the problem?

I thought the canned cheeseburger was from Germany, thankfully it’s from the Swiss (Suisse). 12 month shelf life!

Reminds me of the one time I was desperate enough to order a veggie burger at burger king.

Where does Burger King sell veggie burgers?
- Car ( @Car@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English4•1 month ago
They used to just about everywhere in the US a few years ago. They called it the impossible burger and it tasted the same as a whopper. Not my cup of tea, but I’d say it’s a faithful reproduction
- Bipta ( @Bipta@kbin.social ) 3•1 month ago
That’s not what veggie burger means.
- Hegar ( @Hegar@kbin.social ) 3•1 month ago
Nah this was in like 2012 or 13 or so, before impossible burgers were a thing. The patty was a thin unidentified mat of some kind of substance. There was a sodden patch of greenish white and one of reddish white.

Can confirm, 2012 vegetarian burgers were sad. They’ve really improved in the last couple of years

Considering that the worst cheeseburger I’ve had in my entire life was in Germany, that looks about right.
- Emmie ( @Emmie@lemm.ee ) English2•1 month ago
My worst hamburger/cheeseburger (whatever that disgusting thing was) ruined my day and a half. It was in Gdynia, Poland in late 1990s and the taste was beyond bad but I was really hungry.
It was some disgusting piece of unidentified minced swine meat, pickles, enclosed in old bun and filled to the brim with despicable mixture of ketchup and mustard.
A perfect metaphor for what this country was back then. The one meal that described its aspirations and shortcomings.
- Drusas ( @Drusas@kbin.run ) 1•1 month ago
The one I had in Germany was disturbingly uniform in its thickness (which was quite thin), dry, didn’t taste like much, and was absolutely overflowing with shredded lettuce. It was kind of like what someone would make if you described a hamburger to them briefly and they just kind of winged it.

How can Germany be bad at hamburgers?
That’s where Hamburg IS.

Just because it started there doesn’t mean it’s good though.
