Canned chicken - Canned tuna...

[trof]

They both smell and taste the same to me.
OK, maybe the tuna tastes a tad 'fishier'.
But not much.

Is it just me?

I admit we use both.

Tuna salad.
Chicken salad.
And together with the other ingredients they don't taste 'quite' the same.


How about y'all?

1. I've got a can of chicken

which also contains ground chicken.

I mean, isn't ground chickens for cats?

2. These are white chunks.

Putting them on a pizza.
Thai chicken.

3. Anything in a can is typically cooked in the can

So at least to some degree it's going to taste like the can.

I like the tuna that comes in the shelf stable packages. Seems to have a much better texture and taste. If you can find it at your grocer, get this one:

I think it tastes the best out of all the packaged tuna.

4. Have you ever had canned salmon?

I'd make salmon loaf like my mom did, but my wife hates salmon.

5. It is actually one of the canned

foods I can stand. I make mine from a recipe I got from some Guyanese folks.
Saute some onions and garlic. Don't kill them just lightly saute.
Add can of salmon to the pan and one whole Scotch Bonnet peppah chop fine fine. Be careful with the salt, add it and pepper, the black kind to taste.

It is served in Guyana with rice. Usually as a side condiment for the rice. I usually have another mixer of coconut chutney on the side as well. Nice combo.

8. I use it all the time...

it's not that much cheaper than fresh, but I don't have to worry about it going bad. I load up when it's on sale.

Salmon loaf is good, but I use it mainly for stuffing things like squashes. Or salmonburgers.

11. salmonburgers? Recipe?

Can you cook them on the grill?

[trof]

10. Yep. Miz t. makes salmon croquets.

6. I know a lot of canned tuna has soy protein added nowadays.

This would dilute the taste, I think. Of course this soy additive would most likely NOT be in the more costly kind.

7. Funny. I like canned tuna, but not canned chicken.

I think it's because I can easily get the chicken, but not the tuna.

Plus canned tuna doesn't seem very fishy.

Other canned fishes don't appeal to me very much.
But I have gotten quite fond of anchovy paste for caesar salad dressing.

Go figure.

15. Unfortunately, I can't get that here...

Thanks, rdharma!

9. I've never had canned chicken but I like canned solid white albacore a lot. Mainly for cold dishes.

I use it crumbled in a feta salad, diced for a sandwich, a filling for hard boiled eggs or just as is w/ lemon and pepper as part of a cold plate assortment. The shredded stuff I can't stand.

[maddezmom]

12. I like canned tuna but only albacore

But canned chicken tastes like either nothing or the can to me.

13. If you want some real good canned chicken, try this!

Kind of pricey. But it is really good!
