Once Popular Canned Foods That No One Eats Any More

Underwood Deviled Ham has been around for almost 150 years. Owen Wister described the can in the paper wrapper adorned with the lurid red devil complete with cloven hooves and the demonic tail in his novel THE VIRGINIAN, published in 1902, but describing life in the 1870s. Wister was a friend of Theodore Roosevelt, to whom he sent chapters for criticism and suggestions prior to submitting them for publication and the final compilation into the novel. "When you call me that, smile." Wister also mentioned canned tomatoes as a way to carry water for consumption in the dry environment of the high plains.

[@rclaughlin]

Canned tomatoes were also used to make a traildrive staple, chuckwagon macaroni.

I can buy almost half of these items in my local grocery store! And a big shout out to canned brown bread. That stuff is amazing. If you do any kind of prepping (which you should) this stuff keeps a long time (like most canned foods), tastes great, and helps keep a somewhat balanced diet in emergencies. What surprised me, is that i did not know you could get it with raisins! Now i have to go and buy some with raisins too. SMH. Maybe less of these items are available in areas that are less storm prone than where i live. But prepping is a way of life here, as every year you never know when hurricane "mayhem" is going to knock out power for weeks. Having food that you don't need to heat, and doesn't need to be refrigerated is going to keep you alive.

the last can of campbell's chicken noodle soup I opened, April 2022, had 2, 1/4 inch +/- cubes of chicken. It never had a lot of meat, but change the name to chicken broth noodle soup already.

[@McPh1741]

I grew up in the 80s. Remember canned pudding and fruit cups. It’s crazy how people these days are environmentally conscious and want to cut down on plastics. We were there already. When I was a kid MOST foods you bought came in a glass jar, a glass bottle, a tin cup, a paper bag or a cardboard box. I remember ALL soda bottles were glass no matter the size. In the early 90s everything started going to plastic, even grocery bags and it was called so much better and less tree being cut down, etc…… if only we can go back.

[@cocoaorange1]

I recall pop in glass bottles in the 70's as a kid.

[@ska042]

A glass jar is not necessarily better for the environment than a plastic cup. It's a very good choice environmentally if, and only if it gets reused like glass drinks bottles in parts of Europe. They get cleaned, relabeled and refilled, however even when that ideal case happens (as opposed to crushing and downcycling), reusing glass can sometimes have a larger CO2 impact than plastic packaging due to increased weight and space needs and the need to transport the cleaned bottles back. Depends on how far the glass needs to travel to be reused. Making a glass container just takes a lot more resources than making a plastic cup, so it's not a good idea environmentally if it's only going to be used once. Metal cans are decent, very recyclable, but also fairly energy intensive. For some things, plastic is actually a competitive choice environmentally and from a CO2 viewpoint, if you can make sure the plastic gets disposed or recycled properly, so it doesn't end up all over the environment.

[@KevinWilliams19723]

@@ska042 Not all plastic can be recycled and what plastic that is recyclable has limits on how many times it can be recycled. Even after you sort your plastic in the special bins provided, trash collector's still dump it with the rest of the trash in landfills. Metal and glass have no such limits and they aren't ending up in the world's oceans creating ecological disasters. Plastic use should be reduced greatly.

I noticed as my mother get older her taste has changed. She bought the brown bread in a can. She would add. Certain spices to things she said had no taste or could be better. I agree, lot food that was popular back then isn't popular now because people taste has changed. Fast food made life easier, frozen, quick cooking, microwavable. For sure fast food. Made it easier for a lot of people. Because of high blood pressure, diabetes, other illnesses. Food is not seasoned anymore you have to add your own seasoning, flavoring. But during this time when less is available. I bet you if a lot of food was in warehouses, people would buy them, add new flavoring and make it work. I know my mom and g ma would. They survived the depression. Once you live through tough times, you learn not to complain all food is bland tasteless till you add a little spice, flavoring, even salt and pepper, some herbs.

"Like" but look up "PFAS in cans". Ironically, not something prepper vloggers touting Armageddon talk about...Makes one wonder what team they're on - team you&me or team canners&retailers?

Also, be honest, are y'all prepping for Armageddon or civil war? Just asking.

I frequently enjoyed brown bread with a little cream cheese on it when growing up.

i wish they didn't discontinue making Chef Boy-AR Dee spaghetti sauce in the small cans. It was so good.

I grew up on Canned Bread. Now I make my own brown bread from scratch. You forgot Pork Brains with Milk Gravy 5 Ounce Cans, which you can still buy but hard to come by anymore.

[@egregiousfilmin4842]

brown bread? is it a dessert type bread like loaf cake or closer to pumpernickel?? I'm actually interested in trying that, at least for camping/hiking. My bread ALWAYS gets smashed. they said "don't just grab a spoon and go at it" but that's probably exactly what I'd do 😅

[@donnamcmanus7360]

For some reason I seem to recall it having a slightly molasses flavor but savory, not dessert. I could be wrong as I'm 54 and haven't eaten it since I was 11 or so.

[@loboheeler]

B&M brown bread is a superb treat and has great ingredients. Used to be common in Cali markets until about 5 years ago. It was considered a Thanksgiving thing. B&M products have fallen out of favor here.

[@anonnyanonymous4800]

“There are a few ways to describe brown bread. It tastes dense like banana bread without the banana. It's also reminiscent of bread-y raisin bran without all the raisin and sugar”

[@debbieharris1628]

If you have relatives or friends in other states you should ask them to check their local stores. Where I live there's canned whole chicken readily available since the population here still buys it although I can't recall the manufacturer offhand.

We often had canned nacho cheese with tortilla chips for a snack in the 1980s. I don't recall the brand, but it was pretty good.

Still comes in jars, right there in front of the chips, no?

My family was so broke in the 1950s/60s. Kraft Macaroni and Cheese and a can of pork and beans was often dinner for the 6 of us. Or Chef Boyardee packaged spaghetti. Starch. I could never understand how Mac 'n Cheese became so popular. It was poor people's food to us.

I tried Spaghetti-Os a couple of years ago. They were nothing like my memory of them. Nothing but sweet. And I wish Chef Boyardee had kept making their Cheese Ravioli. It used to come in a green can, and had no meat. But it would probably be as bad as the Spaghetti-Os now.

[@jacksheet2395]

Chef Boyardee,,,God i was overfed with those ihate them,,even Ketchup I can't stand Spaghetios had a horrendous after taste

I used to enjoy some canned ravioli once in a while (not that it tasted anything like the real thing). But the last time I bought it will be the last time. It was gross.

[@kenmore01]

One of the customers I serve is Washington State University and I have had Cougar Gold cheese. It's actually one of the best cheddar cheeses I have ever had, despite the novelty of being a canned cheese. 😋 I'm surprised you mentioned it, because I have never seen it mentioned anywhere else. I believe I can buy it at grocery stores in Gig Harbor where I live.

[@oldguysmusic2929]

I remember an occasional treat when I was a kid (about 60+ years ago) my dad would give us brown bread with Philadelphia Brand Creme Cheese on top. It was wonderful.

[@Hurricaneintheroom]

I've had the B&M Canned Bread. It's really good. I like the one with raisins. Hormel's Canned Tamales are pretty good. As a kid I really liked the Chef Boyardee brand of spaghetti products. Yes WSU cheese is very good. They have more types than just the Cougar Gold. You can order it online.

Brown bread kicks ass, Saturday night dinner, grilled hot dogs. Grilled brown bread and baked beans.

I had almost forgotten about canned pudding. I quite often carried them to school in my metal lunchbox, one that was of Disneyland, and the other was Inch High Private Eye, even though I never watched the last one, and cannot remember why even I had one with that theme. Spaghettios, I have never liked. I have had canned tamales, but they were in a jar, and tasted far different from authentic tamales, and not for the better. The rest of the things in the video are still foreign territory to me.

Lol we had canned boiled peanuts the other day. My husband was going to darlington & packed them in a thermos. They are really good. A lot of gas stations just pour cans into the heating vessel so you might have eaten them & not known it.

Beware of foods ‘made in New Zealand’. Due to NZ packaging laws they can label anything processed there as ‘made in NZ’. This means that they can use ingredients from anywhere including places you wouldn’t want to eat food from due to poor or nonexistent safety protocols.
