Why would anyone want to eat canned ham? Why would anyone be forced to use it as an option? Unless you live way out in the boonies? Why?

[@someoneyoudontknow7407]

Dutch colony hams have been my go to for years. Very tasty and can be used in a lot of dishes. Breakfast make ham fries with canned ham. Cook in air fryer or oven till browned and sizzly.

[@paulaajohnson2597]

We used to get good Danish canned ham. Cheap everywhere, I haven't seen it for years. It made delicious deviled ham salad sandwiches.

[@Raymail-tj4cf]

I grew up eating Hormel canned ham and still make it sometimes. I’m 62 in a few days. The 2 or 3 pound size not the tuna can size.

During World War II, SPAM was shipped to the Red Army in the USSR to feed their troops so they would not starve. When Nikita Khrushchev visited the US, he was given a tour of the SPAM processing plant in Austin, Minnesota. He thanked Hormel Foods for helping to save his nation.

It was not Spam. It was Tushonka. Stewed pork prepared from Russian recipe. It was a superior product in comparison to garbage Spam.

Karkus Polish Ham 98% fat free best canned ham you would ever have!! Can't believe that wasn't on mashed list. Plus a few other that are decent. Seems like 80% of the ones they mentioned were crap.

[@goaway3717]

I've thrown out every canned ham I've ever tried. I admit I haven't tried the smaller canned examples you've shown and may try one if I ever see it in a store, but every one of those larger ones I've ever had I've pitched in the trash after opening. Bad smell, bad taste, etc. I generally stick with what takes a long time to prepare or out of the deli instead. I've had good canned roast beef and good canned chicken and spam can be ok in a pinch but if I'm that desperate for protein, I'll just go with beans instead.

[@marcstevens8576]

Great video. I loved the comparisons of most of the canned yams to Spam, which makes my stomach turn. I'll stay with that Deviled Ham for lunch & smoked shoulder for dinner. Those canned ones were nothing but salt water to me...

[@Friedrich-Wilhelm-1980]

Hormel's canned smoked ham is amazing i eat it 3-4 times a week with some kind of potato or rice i just wish they cam in bigger containers because some times i want a bit more but dont want to open 2 cans

[@youngstownassault2438]

I have tried many canned hams (including many on this list) and imo Aldi's canned ham (Brookdale) is the best I have ever had. Prepare it in the oven w brown sugar on top and it's unbelievable. It's non-inclusion on this list makes the whole thing suspect.

[@laurac5451]

Aldis aren't everywhere

[@piotrpawlicki2973]

Polish Krakus Ham is the best , really

[@marzsit9833]

try finding it in the usa though....

[@l0nelyl0ver23]

We used to eat the can ham for special occasions when I was young and my mom would put sliced pineapple with cherries in the middle.

[@atelierteale8012]

My parents bought Dubuque brand canned hams, usually five to eight pounds each, for large family gatherings. My mother scored the top, then topped them with dark brown sugar, pineapple rings (canned slices) and cherries, then poured the pineapple syrup (not available in juice at the time) over the entire thing. Baked at 325°F for about 15 to 20 minutes per pound, basting periodically. Cover with foil if necessary. It was good and we enjoyed leftovers, sometimes freezing slices--when larger freezers became the norm! No on liked HORMEL hams. They were significantly inferior to Dubuque (haven't seen one in 30 years or so--I'm thinking they ceased production when spiral sliced hams became popular). The Hormel hams texture was awful and they had a nasty after taste. Personally, I don't think canned hams are intended to be eaten directly out of the can. Is it safe? Yes. Does it taste good or look appealing? NO! And, yes, canned ham is very salty, regardless of brand. For us, it was an occasional, inexpensive treat to be shared with special people. No one ate humongous quantities in a short period of time. It always was accompanied by fresh, roasted vegetables. After all, if you're using the oven for one thing, you might as well save some money and cook other things simultaneously. 👍

[@mommy2kitty]

I always liked the Dak Ham that I could buy in Walmart. I haven't seen it since 2020 so switched to Bristol Ham which they started to carry.I honestly haven't had many complaints about that brand,other than some hams are fattier than others. I want to try the top 3 on here though.

[@OkieOrganix]

Soon folks will be starving and eating cricket protein. I’m going to eat my canned ham and say mmm while I’m thinking about all of you. 😃

Where would Tailor Pork Roll be compared in a review video like this? When will reviews of other types of salad dressings be done? Thanks for that review of ranch dressings , hidden valley buttermilk ranch dressing deserved best on list and that certainly improved my daily salads

[@jsEMCsquared]

i like the new format.

[@steveanderson9290]

As far as I can tell, actual "canned ham" is no longer produced. Everything on this list is a manufactured pork product and most are packed in little cans that are reminiscent of the shape that real canned hams used to come in. The cans were that shape because it most closely matched the shape of that cut of meat that was trimmed to fit and packed in gelatinized juices. Yes, they were actual cuts of bone-in ham, and they were very good. Of course. being an actual ham the cans weights were measured in pounds and the prices were expensive, but it was a real piece of meat like you would get at the butcher. The comparisons to SPAM in this video are quite apt, IMO, because all of the "products" reviewed here are manufactured products that are produced in similar ways and are direct competitors, and not "ham".

[@daneldwinbrooks8444]

Dak Ham was 1 of the types of canned food we would take camping and hunting for weekend and longer tracks

Hormel is tasty as is Deviled Ham. However, avoid Walmart at all costs.

[@aikidragonpiper71]

Some of us happen to like Spam.

[@joltjolt5060]

Goya is the best. It makes great ham salad w Mayo and onions, or just cooked with potatoes and cheese sauce! Or, cook it with yams w corn bread. Spaniards are known for good ham, Spam's yummy.

[@Midori_Hoshi]

Sorry to ruin Goya for you, but they are Trump supporters. It might suck to not be able to buy food you like anymore, but it's important to do the right thing. Take care.

[@rongrandi1570]

I will now buy this brand knowing they support Trump

[@laurac5451]

Goyas truly awful i never had canned ham before and got some from the food bank. They even put phosphates in it why? They put so much salt in it they don't need a perservative

[@danquerry3436]

You seem to be highly contemptuous of Spam for some reason. Spam is actually quite popular and many, including me, find the flavor and texture more than satisfactory. It's a delicacy in Hawaii and has been featured on at least one Food Network cooking show. This may or may not bode well for the quality of the hams that you like. We'll see.

[@2ndestate]

The only canned ham I ever liked was Swift Hostess ham and they were in a round can and great, they still sell Armour canned hams.

Most canned ham is pressed meat, an upscale spam -- i.e., chunks. It's "composed". Also, why don't you or prepper vlogs ever mention PFAS or PFOA? You know ...well ... you know.

[@rmoretz1]

You all have a marked prejudice against Spam, eh? I happen to like Spam. But DAK was just about the only so-called canned ham you included in this review. I do like Hormel. But you ignored most of the good canned hams. There are great canned hams but you missed them all. Omaha Steaks has a great one that is actual ham, not some mystery substance like 90% of this list. Wow! You all seem to despise Spam yet review so-called "ham" and call it good? Really? Why did you omit the Hormel 5lb canned ham that is an actual boneless ham? Krakus is a great ham. If my brain was working I could list more. Never even heard of almost all your list. This review seems terribly snobbish.
