Just saw this on BBC News 24.

Christmas Dinner In a Can

I can see it may be amusing as a joke pressie but I can't imagine anyone eating one as Christmas dinner. Although, this being DS, I'm sure someone will come along to prove me wrong in a minute!

I think these hot tin foods are used in all sorts of circumstances like camping, trekking, workers who have no cooking or heating facilities so I expect some people, who can't be with their family, might enjoy a change. After all, many McDonalds are open on Christmas day and I know which of the two I'd prefer.

Most people would have a microwave or oven/hob so could get a microwave roast dinner or just tinned veg and some pre-cooked meat.

It may sound similar but the description of the stuff in the can is a medly stew.

I imagine it'd taste like meat and veg in a load of gravy.

Fortunately I love cooking and can cook but if I didn't/couldn't, I think I'd prefer to make myself a toastie!

Basically hotdog sasuage and fetid bits of egg floating in beans
