You didn't mention a lot of the SPAM options are gluten free....
WHY are you promoting anything with "Maltodextrin" in it??
Maltodextrin is an EXTREMELY DANGEROUS chemical and ingredient.
Do your research... Maltodextrin causes so many diseases and cancers.....and anything with Aluminum of any kind, used as an anti-caking agent is deadly, as the Aluminum component attaches to the Central Nervous System, thereby causing Alzheimer's, Dementia, spinal cord diseases, bone diseases, and nerve damage. And drinking out of Aluminum cans, over time, causes the Aluminum to attach to the Gray Matter coating of the brain, leaving Aluminum Plaque deposits that decrease the synapse firing of normal brain function......WTF???
As an ER/ICU/Trauma Nurse, I highly recommend that you rethink what you promote.
I apologize for the harshness, but I see the consequences of fools ingesting Maltodextrin and Aluminum anti-caking agents.....example: Auguson Farms "Whole Eggs" have Aluminum in it......BAD. Whereas, the Auguson Farms "Scrambled Eggs" does NOT have any Aluminum or any other deadly chemicals or metals in it.
And canned fish......AVOID ANY PACIFIC OCEAN HARVESTED FISH AND SEAFOOD, AS THE 2011 FUKISHIMA NUCLEAR PLANT CONTINUES TO DUMP TOXIC NUCLEAR MATERIAL INTO THE PACIFIC OCEAN, THEREBY, RADIATING ALL FISH AND SEAFOOD.
****ONLY BUY TUNA AND OTHER FISH/SEAFOOD THAT IS HARVESTED FROM THE ATLANTIC OCEAN. SALMON IS BEST FROM FISH FARMS THAT ARE REGULATED BY THE FDA.....RIVERS IN THE NORTHWRST REGION OF THE LOWER 48 HAVE BEEN CONTAMINATED WITH THAT SAME NUCLEAR WASTE FROM FUKISHIMA.....LEVELS AREN'T AS HIGH, BUT, IT IS STILL THERE. ALASKA, TOO, WAS SEVERELY AFFECTED.

It is really simple to prevent health issues than to overcome health problems that could have been prevented in the first place.😊
Canned corned beef is one that I like, also whole chicken in a can, canned shrimp, and dried beef. Jerky meats can be good for a treat but soo much salt is not for everyday.
@@lynnkramer1211 Frying SPAM reduces the salt content because a lot comes out with the grease....
You might like to spend $10 on a Boya lapel mic with 10ft cable to fix you audio echo problem. ....
It all tastes delicious when you get hungry, I been there.
yup.... been there for years now 🥺and it is getting worse in these times....... oh well... will figure it out🤠
"Hunger is the most savory sauce!" - Benjamin Franklin (who knew a lit about dining on great food! Washington made him liason to then ambassador to France in France's pre-Revolution golden age. Ahhhh, decadence is so delicious!
Just ate bolony on white bread. Nuff said 😊
@coachgeo buy a few dollars of xrp. Worth figuring out
Me too.
Keystone ground beef, Keystone beef chunks, contains no artificial ingredients, no water, no preservatives, beef, sea salt. Perfect for chili, spaghetti, sloppy Joe, tacos, dips, casseroles and more. Try it!
Thats our choice.
Yeah! I use Keystone Canned Ground Beef all the time. I think they actually cook it in the can.
I haven't tried the ground beef, but I sure love the roast beef. Now I'll have to try the ground. Thanks for the info.
Their beer is alright too!
@@alleyoop5185I haven't heard about Keystone Beer since the 50's. Are they still in business in PA?
I grew up on mackerel patties we were very poor and when you are poor and hungry everything looks good
Absolutely!
Hunger makes the best seasoning. 🤔
❤️
They're too fishy for me, but I love sardines, herring and breakfast kipper all of which are available in small cans.
How do you make them? I'm interested. Love me Jack Mack! I just use seafood seasoning cooking it with plain white rice!
So thank you in advance for sharing the recipe
@@elessartelcontar9415
I don't know ways to prepare herring, but breakfast kippers are great with scrambled eggs.
I really like Keystone meats. The ground beef was surprisingly good and so is the beef chunks.
Really good to know....😊
I just watched your video for the first time and wanted to tell you that I appreciate how clearly you talk and at a great speed. Most of the videos I have seen they talk so fast I have to keep rewatching to understand them. Keep up the good work.
I agree, he has thorough and helpful information.
The legwork is done!
I also like the fact that he didn’t have music playing in the background
You are so right about talking slow enough for the points to be absorbed ... unlike so many who feel they must go as fast as their video games!
Go to the Gear icon in the bottom right of your screen and change the speed. You can speed it up or slow it down. Also enable the closed caption function to help with comprehension of different manners of speech. Note that it is NOT 100% accurate, but you'll get most of it that way.
I use Keystone Meats like the chicken and beef to make shredded chicken and barbecue beef sandwiches. Keystone Meats is in my hometown in Lima Ohio which is also home of the M1 A1 Abrams tank made by General Dynamics Tank Plant 😁
I don't think I've seen that before.
I grew up in the Midwest in the 50’s . We grew everything we ate . I was mom’s helper to jar everything from chicken to corn . Out garden was 100x 100 plus . Too bad most people neve have had real jarred produce/ meats . Nice show .cheers
I too grew up on home grown and canned food. We fished in summer and I hunted rabbits and squirrels in winter. Lived good back then:) Real milk fresh from the cow, made our own butter from the cream, made ice cream too. Had fresh eggs and yes we had to candle them to be sure heheheh. I miss that life.
Many many meals I ate as a kid had everything grown on the farm except milk
Dad was a dairyman so always boughten milk old now miss them days
We can beef and chicken ourselves. Stuff the quart jar (preferably wide mouth), add a tablespoon of salt, process in a pressure canner. We get our chicken from my cousin. He raises a bunch every year for himself and a dozen or so relatives. Most folks don't want their carcasses, so he splits those with us and we can bone broth. We also pick the carcasses clean and get a few pounds, which we vacuum pack and freeze. We get our grass fed beef, from an old friend of my wife. Same process as with chicken. Easy peasy! Meat and gravy from broth, over bbiscuits makes a great meal.
We do buy other canned meats and fish though. Love tuna, salmon, and several flavors of Spam and Vienna Sausages. Your video is excellent. Very informative. Thank you for your time and effort sir.
i have a water canner, i've done some rebel canning of beef and chicken...i need to get a pressure canner - i don't want to use instant pot to do it. My dumb ass Nesco Dehydrator has paid dividends!
@@carlh-thehermitwithwi-fi679 A pressure canner is definitely a good purchase. My wife tries to keep 2 of them going at once. It leaves little room on the stove for a ring and lid pot, but.......
We bought a FoodSaver almost 40 yrs ago and it lasted us for 30 years. One day it quit and we've bought 3 since then and 2 of those were crap. The 3rd is still brand new, so we'll see. I'd pay triple to have a working model of the original again.
I do the same..getting chix breast on sale for 1.99...can in pint jar...pretty much equals a pound for pint for 1.99..I do the same when get beef and pork loin on sale for 1.99...a pressure canner pays for itself over and over
A tablespoon of salt is an awful lot. Ball Blue Book calls for 1/2 teaspoon for pints, 1 teaspoon for quarts.
That is only for taste, has no effect on preservation.
I use 1/4 tsp per pint, 1/2 tsp per quart.
@@jeepstergal12 you are absolutely right! I asked my wife and she corrected me. I told her that at some point, we might run into some canned beef that's real salty. She's pretty sure she didn't leave me unsupervised, while we were doing it. Good thing. Thanks for the catch! 😁
Don’t forget to buy a few can openers
Pocket knife does the trick.
My very best is the "EZ-DUZ-IT" Made in America. I also keep a couple of "P-51"...which are a little easier to use than the older "P-38".
check out the concrete rubbing method
Swing-away makes a very easy to use option. Leave the electric can openers at home.
Hand operated...in case of weather emergencies😊
Low sodium SPAM has become a breakfast staple in the last year. SPAM and tomato sandwiches (toasted) with mayo makes a fine lunch.
Some cans of Spam have a pull tab to open. They don't keep as well.
You can slice spam and put it in hot water that remove most of the salt dry with paper kitchen towel
The spam with bacon tastes even better than regular spam, and has lower sodium.
I like Walmart brand ,less sodium, slice of cheddar cheese( $2.22 for 12 slices,8 oz same as block). And a thin layer of bottled horseradish!
Try spam tacos they are delicious. We cook the meat on the grill. It takes about 20 minutes and we use soft shells with all the condiments. Jerry loves them.
Libby's Corned Beef Hash. You got your potatoes, you got your meat, you got your density (whole can packed tight with food, no waste) and Libby's is the tastiest.
Love that brand corned beef hash.
"First cut" brand tastes much better than libby's.
One thing to note about Hormel/Mary Kitchen Corned Beef Hash - If you get the low-sodium one, it is also much lower in fat. You would think they would mention this on the front of the can, next to the low-sodium part, but they don't.
grew up with that brand...
Too much salt?
I really enjoy most canned meats. Just glad to be able to choose better options. Thx.
Glad it was helpful and thank you for watching.
My favorite canned meat is home canned beef. Not difficult to do using a pressure canner. For beef, I buy inexpensive cuts, cube them, braise the chunks in a cast iron skillet, pack into pint jars and add the brown stuff from the skillet rinsed with boiling water and some salt. Add hot water to the neck of the jar, process as directed. The canned beef can be eaten directly from the jar or heated, and the liquid makes excellent flavorful gravy. Also, braising the chunks before canning gives them a lovely brown color, so the meat is visually appealing as well as tasty.
Thanks, I’ve been nervous about buying the cheap cuts of meat for canning. I started canning just a few months back ( Age 65) due to the crazy stuff going on.
@@kathyparker5899 I canned an entire Beef steer (about 1200lbs live weight) a few years ago. Once canned you literally can not tell the difference in any of it,,, its all delicious. Same with venison or pork as well.
@@clintfultz1811 this is so exciting. Everything we are facing now, people need to get ready for the long haul.
I just got my canning supplies and anxious to learn more. When you say you add the brown stuff from the skillet "rinsed with boiling water", that threw me off. Do you rinse the juice with boiling water? Or, pour the boiling water with the juice into the jars?
@@Sarah43622 Divide the juice between the jars and fill the remainder with boiling water. Remember to leave about one inch of head space. Don't forget a little salt.
One important thing I didn’t see was straight up kipper snacks! King Oscar is the best for my family. I did side by side comparisons with my daughter and brother, and we all agreed the other brands were not as good. Is it budget friendly? Not really anymore but it’s nice to have while you’re out hiking or mushroom hunting or gardening or just busy.
I like sardines in mustard the most, but I’m the only one here who does! My husband said he doesn’t like sardines but I added some in olive oil to a pasta salad and he ate plenty and didn’t complain. It was delicious in an oil vinegar pasta salad. I’ll start sharing recipes as soon as I figure out editing.
I was pleased to see the brand of Sardines displayed. On sale at Costco these are very affordable, and have been my 'go-to' for many years. Straight-up w/ some rice for lunch, or as a Dad's Sardine Salad tm so much better than tuna. Kewpie Mayonaisse, Grey Poupon, black pepper, dash of salt and a little sweet relish. Wife's cats can hear the can come out of the cardboard and "HEY, what about MEW? Mew!"
Love them KO kippers. Certainly not the best to fulfill every recipe need but healthy and darn flavorful!
I’m with you on kippers- but they’re herring, which he included. One of the pictured varieties is “herring-kipper style”. Which are in fact kipper snacks
100% true my prepper pantry cooking friend! I tried different canned chicken and the Sam’s club one is just the best hands down and it’s on sale! Still expensive but on sale right now
Salmon cleaned up is really nice. I take the vertebrae out and the fishiness goes. It's just lovely
I've discovered recently as my first preps start approaching the expiration date, that some of the canned meat is dried out on the very top . So I'm going to start turning the cans on opposite ends every few months.
Maybe that will help to flip them but I just eat them and replace them with new ones I think my oldest ones expire in a year or so now
Interesting! Does it help?
@@ChefPrepper it seems to help with the Spam and Vienna sausages . I haven't opened anything else yet to check them. The juices settled to the bottom, and the top parts were dried out and tough. Another recent problem is the potatoes in beef stew turning black before the expiration date.
@@Lightning77AThiker I recently had some canned chicken breast, it was Winco brand that had black oily spots on the inside of the lid. Two of them in a row. I threw them out!
I was surprised you didn't like the Keystone Chicken? We use it and love it. But I'm not to crazy about the Keystobe Beef.
My wife and I always have SPAM in out pantry. Sometimes we just open a can, slice it and make sandwiches ( no need to cook it). We also prefer SPAN baked in the over instead of fried.
Good video, thanks for sharing it with us.

I do like Keystone. It is just that with the same amount of money, you get much more meat with the Member's Mark than with Keystone.
But Keystone is a great choice.
Thank you for watching.
I'm surprised you don't like the Beef. It's so tender, just like pot roast! I've been happy with all the Keystone products.
I should add - great video as always Chef. We really appreciate your information, presentation, and delivery.
Thank you.
The way things are going this is good info. Putting back a good horde of canned food and rehydrated food is wise.
My friend opened the 11 year-old can of chicken and we taste tested it against a non-expired can of chicken and other than it being slightly broken down in texture and a very small metallic taste. It was just as good. I was so impressed.
Canned clams great in soups or as dip for vegetables. Snows minced clams good, mix with sour cream and spices for good dip.
That's what New Englanders use.
New England clam chowder and linguini and clams
Thank you for doing all this work. I never thought I would buy canned meat. Well I am retired, and learning to stock up to be prepared for come what may. Blessing upon you and your family.
You can slice & dice the SPAM meat .
Then use a sauce pan with water bring the water to boil with the Span to help remove some of the salt.
Pat dry the SPAM & Fry.
We stock the canned corned beef and the spam with less salt.
I have recently found turkey in the same cans as the chicken.
All of your choices are what we keep in the pantry.
Keystone Meats in Lima Ohio is really good quality. Small family slaughterhouse that raises, butchers and cans their own beef. Chicken and pork is canned in house but sourced from other local farms. A little on the pricey side but very good tasting. Kind of regional so probably can't find it every where.
Good ole Lima. They made some amazing steam locomotives there.
Another good video. We have become big fans of the Turkey Spam in our household. It's very versatile. Tastes great with rice.
I use the reduced sodium Spam.
I'm not a prepper so not sure how you showed up in my feed ... but I'm glad you did. This was really excellent. The amount of time spent on experimenting and collecting data, then sharing it with us, well thats just amazing. Also, love that you got right to the topic, covered it thoroughly without any distracting music or comments and did so in a pleasant and easy-to-listen to voice. I'm a subscriber now. This was great info for anybody who needs to eat.
Thank you for doing your rating list, as well as your other comprehensive videos. This is excellent info!
First video of yours I have seen. Thank you for this. I can't believe I hadn't ran across your channel before. I spent the last few months practicing with canned and boxed foods can be fixes together to make a decent meal. Thanks again for the video.
You are welcome! And welcome to our channel!
just discovered your channel.
Well done.
I suggest everyone do a "grid down" cooking practice once every 12-14 days.
Practice makes perfect.
We camp 2 weeks straight every year (been doing historical reenactment for 35 years). Have nothing but a camp stove and cooler for a kitchen. Have worked up more than a few recipes using only a camp stove and canned goods.
Being a long time prepper I am not sure I agree with your rankings here. When it comes to canned meats the absolute hands-down winner IMHO is any meat from KeyStone. Why? All you find in their cans in high quality well trimmed meat with not too much fat, and salt. How often do you see any canned processed food with just two ingredients listed? That's it! At our house we like the chicken, beef chunks and pork which are great in recipes such as soups, stews, casserole, burritos, tacos, etc. Maybe not the cheapest on the market but you tend to get what you pay for. We order their products by the case directly from Keystone so we can get the 14.5 oz cans. Walmart and grocery stores in our area only carry the larger 28 oz cans. Since it is just my wife and I, the larger cans are too much, although for a family with two kids they would work well.
I didn't get that he was saying any brand specific, he was basically saying to read labels and pay attention to ingredients
The problem with tuna packed in oil rather than water, is that the oil goes rancid more quickly and therefore it has a far shorter shelf life. IMO,the water packed is the form best for prepping.
Fats need oxygen to go rancid and pressure canned goods do not contain any.
I just bought some sardines packed in olive oil - the "best by" date is almost 5 years in the future. The edible lifetime, with proper storage is probably at least double that.
The major disadvantage of long storage is reduction in texture, flavor and nourishment - not edibility.
Chef Prepper has a video on that titled "Prepping With Canned Food For Survival: Outdated!" I will be watching that one next.
@@buggsy5 I've heard both arguments, but personally I've never had any luck keeping tuna in oil for more than 4-5 years before the taste goes off...
Please check out the signature brand pink salmon. It can be found in most Safeways, it has high amounts of vitamin d, and includes the skin and the bones. It is high quality and great tasting. It's about $5 a can and I stock up on many cans at a time. Since it's cooked in the can it can be eaten straight, used in a salmon-salad sandwich, served over rice, or can be reheated if needed for a recipe
I grew up on canned salmon with the bones 'n grits. Also stewed whole tomatoes and rice. I'm 82.
I absolutely love spam with mac and cheese. My grand kids love it. Also, living on the West Coast, people buy fresh tuna off the boats and can it themselves. You can't beat home canned tuna.
I bought a lot of Keystone meat, mostly for preparing for emergencies. Well, it turns out that I love the stuff, and it makes easy meals. I eat it all the time, and never have to go to the store unless I want to.
Tried the spam in turkey it really tasted good I was surprise and I like sardines in water chicken Vienna sausage. It's great to learn which can good to buy.🌍👍🌍😘🌍🙏🌍💯🌍😋🌍🍀🌍💃🌍
I understand this is canned meats only . But you can also add Cornbeef hash and canned Chili to any prepper list . Tastes great and has the Carbs your body needs that meat only cans cannot provide
I strongly recommend Wolf's Brand canned chili. I grew up on it and it's the best brand and has no close second.
I have recently had Dennison's chili recommended but haven't tried it yet.
Avoid Castleberry's canned chili; the horror, the horror.
A can of chili and white rice can feed two people.
I discovered canned mackerel a year ago, and it has now replaced salmon on my pantry shelf.
It's much cheaper and almost as good.
most McDonald's eaters can't stomach mackerel 😊
Thank you so much for your informative presentation. Much of what you said, I did not know. I love the manner in which you speak. God bless you.
Glad it was helpful!
I make a pan of Rice A Roni and instead of cutting up chicken breast to toss in I just open a can of chunk chicken. Perfect.
Prefer Keystone meats ourselves. Stock all 5 types in my pantry {Chicken, Chunk beef, ground beef, pork, and TURKEY). Have to order turkey by the case straight from the plant. Other types I stockpile are Spam. Albacore tuna, DAK canned hams, Costco canned chicken, and roast beef in the tapered cans.
I have bought cases of Keystone Beef from Walmart and I have had many cans with bulging tops or bottoms that I have had to throw away. I have found that Butterfield Roast Beef in Beef Broth is much more reliable; no bad cans, so far.
I’ve used keystone beef for 15 years. Only had a problem with one can.
I developed a leak.
Sorry about your experience.
MOST LIKELY A PROBLEM WITH WALLMART IMPROPER STORAGE ( allowed to get hot and held too long )
Never had a bulging can and have bought a lot of it.
Palm corned beef. From New Zealand and only salt and sodium nitrite added.
Yes, it's pricier than local options, but it's from grass fed/pasture raised cows.
I will look for it. Thanks for the info!
I should have stocked up three years ago when prices were less than half
The can foods don’t last that long
@@sandrawelch6653 Many say they last much longer than the "best by" date.
People have to change the way they vote or will double again
@@caelachyt best buy dates are for the folks to want to make money from us!
Doublecab. How you vote doesn't control prices, the market does !!!
Thanks man getting my pack set up for the seasons never know when u might end up lost or staying a few weeks thanks for sharing with us 🤘🤘 ur a good guy
I always check the date on any food I buy canned foods and dry food
Thank you for this great list! I appreciate your time and work.
You are welcome. Thank you.
I appreciate the info provided in your videos
Our band supplies us with food fish, (usually sockeye salmon) and the whole family is involved in canning this. Supplies us with salmon for the winter and it’s the best tasting salmon.
I don't have any known allergies. Been eating my mother's salmon patties all my life. All of the sudden my face started swelling up whenever she would make them. Found out that wild salmon is fine for me to eat, but farm raised gives me an allergic reaction.
I am VERY pleased (and rightfully so) with my canned fish from Wildfish Cannery. Everything I've purchased from them might as well be on a gourmet charcuterie (sp) plate or on an extremely well-made salad, and I haven't even tried it warm yet. It is not cheap at all, we're talking 5-10 bucks a can, but it is incredible, and of course you pay a premium but imagine the satisfaction and morale boost when the only easily available option is freeze dried TVP or yet more rice & beans, and you take a bite of tender, perfectly smoked king salmon.
I'm so happy that I found your channel these can food videos are awesome. Safe Catch and Wild Planet are my go-to for the tuna and chicken, but it is always great to have alternatives and now have some choices for the beef. Thank you off to watch another video. Stay Ready!
King Oscar mediteranian style Mackeral is very tasty.
I would add whole clams for the fact of the use, clam chowder, clams and noodles the lowest protein I found was 13g by Bumble Bee
He left out one of my favorites: Underwood white meat chicken spread. Yummy. One can = 260 calories, 18 grams of protein (not including bread).
Good on crackers, celery, bread
I went to a Kroger yesterday and cussed out loud when I finally located the Underwood display area at the very BOTTOM of a row. And every one I picked up was HAM. No chicken. My local store one time had overstocked Ham cans. It took way after the pandemic b/f a chicken showed up.
I loved Underwood liverwurst as a kid. Hated liver though, the ham is yucky
Real good info .I bought Swanson chicken and found chicken skin and other part's I switched to Great Value canned chicken and liked it better Thank's for helping us all! from a new subscriber❤
Try Tyson canned chicken. For me after trying many canned chicken..Tyson is my preferred. I usually order from Walmart web site and have it delivered.
Check your Keystone meats . I opened to cans of ground beef that the fat looks rancid and kept hearing a popping sound thought something went wrong with my canned goods. None of my home canned jars were popped. So I started rotating my canned goods for dates and discovered some of my meats the lids were not flat on my keystone and they actually pop up and down. I am currently emailing Keystone to see what can be done about it.
Commerically canned beef and pork and 'budget' meats vary greatly in that many have soy or wheat food starches added, and family members are allergic to one or another. Span is the 'purest' of the mixed meats. I have all meats and as for chicken, it is highly versatile, and with herbs, spices, and sauces, it varies your menu greatly.
I have been experimenting with canned mackerel, and found that it makes comparable patties and casseroles very close to canned salmon, (Lemon helps.) I have all of the canned fishes.
we bought several cans of Keystone Beef and we really like it. Great video.. Thanks!!!
You wonderful person ❤! I’m storing all but the mackerel for hurricane preparedness regularly! Plus crackers & peanut butter and canned fruit (depending on price & availability). I feel much more secure in my choices now I have your approval on these products. 😄
Hello Mousiebrown,
Sounds like you have a good handle on things there in hurricane territory!
Get the mackerel! Mackerel is high in omega-3. . . Remember when Jesus fed 5000 people? That was mackerel!
Now I'll be able to remember it as Holy Mackerel 😊
@@jnorway7295 I've heard older folk say that when I was young. You could bring it back in style!
I am a sport fisherman in the Pacific Northwest. I catch my own salmon and tuna and can them myself. It's great! I can add peppers, garlic, or anything to make for a variety.
Thank you for your hard work sir
I like Snow's wild caught minced clams. Great nutrition use in my creamy vegetable soup, clam dip and plan to use in gyosas.
Keystone
Keystone beef makes an excellent hash.
When drumsticks are on sale. I put 6-7 in a wide mouth quart jar. Pressure can.
Just the raw chicken. No liquids or spices.
Super easy
Sodium Erythorbate is produced naturally from beets, sugarcane and corn. It is an antioxidant closely related to vitamin C, and helps improve flavor stability, and prevents the formation of carcinogenic nitrosamines. Don't let these chem names scare you. The human body depends on electrolytes like sodium and phosphorus, but hands down, the less, the simpler, the better ingredients. Great report, though just a thought.
I can ground beef. I lightly brown the beef add tomato juice salt pepper onions garlic can it in pint jars. So easy to use and flavored.
Thank you for showing the best foods to store. ❤
jars of gefilte fish are quite good with horseradish ...
Ooo, I love horseradish! Never had gefilte fish….it just looks too scary. Science experiment scary….
@@joannc147 no different than a pork/turkey burger mix .. just 2 fishes & spices .. just avoid the gel variety ...
Good valuable information thanks 👍
Thank you for the advice. I’m planing a road trip from Az to Alaska in August of 25 researching food options heavy truck minimal hotels. I’ll be watching more of your videos
This information is gold. Thank you!
Grabils chicken is as good as keystone but it just went up at Walmart to over 11 bucks, keystone is still under 8, 28 oz.
I like the bacon flavor Spam best of all. You can slice it, fry it, and serve it with eggs, and it really tastes like bacon. Occasionally, the local Food Lion will have it on sale as cheap as $3.00 a can. Vienna sausage can be eaten as is, or you can use them like hotdogs. Mackerel can be cooked with scrambled eggs mixed in, and the leftovers can be made into fried fish cakes.
I saw Keystone meats in the background. I tried the ground beef, but it's very loose. It might be okay for sloppy joes, but it's not as good as fresh hamburger for chili, goulash, or soup. I like to have chunks of hamburger in those dishes.
Nice job. I have a mix of everyone of those in my stores for SHFT. Thanks for the confirmation. Plus, it is easier to share your link than to have me lecture!
Pressure Can your own protein.
Edit: We cooked home caned corned beef and sliced potatoes in a béchamel sauce.
Selenium detoxifies heavy metals in the blood stream, stock up on Selenium vitamins.
Tuna tends to have a good amount of Selenium already in the meat.
Modified food starch is Monosodium Glutamate which adversely affects some people with many symptoms. “They” hide it in food under other names as well.
Spam, potatoes, green chilies wrapped in a tortilla.....a staple on the Navajo reservation......so much that Spam is kept behind the counter at the Dollar Store
Good video. Thanks for doing all the work and sharing the results.
Great Video,very informative..I always get Keystone canned meats....Just the Meat and Sea Salt nothing else...
Shelf life is important to me, and you didn't mention it. The Keystone meats seemed to be the only ones I found that were good for 5 years.
My favorite brand of tuna is Portofino. The can is totally packed with tuna, only a few drops of oil to drain. It's a little more expensive, but you get more fish in the can. With most cheaper tuna, once you drain the liquid the can is only half full.
Hi Les! Thanks for sharing this list. My favorites are sardines/herring, but chicken, salmon, and tuna are what I have more often. I have some canned turkey. Do you use canned turkey? (I think some people prefer to can their own turkey. Then again, some people just don't like canned turkey. Shrug. Just curious.)
Your advice is always appreciated. Best wishes to the Chef Prepper family.
Amazing video. Extremely useful and very hard to find anything on this topic. Thanks!!!
Can my own beef and deer meat around Thanksgiving time !!! Plus empty the freezer of chickens to be canned also same with bones for bone broth got lots of that !!!
I like any canned corn beef hash. I haven't actually looked at ingredients, but I will start taking notice of that.
I don't know if you are getting a special spam, but all the Spam I've ever seen has pork listed as the first ingredient. 😮
Turkey Spam doesn't have pork, at least it is not supposed to.
Buying Hamburger Helper is also great...you can mix any meat with it and add veggies...
Best Salmon salad: can salmon, hard boiled eggs, lots of finely chopped celery, chopped pickles with some juice, pimentos, can of mustard sardines, juice of 2 lemons, mayonaise. never use plastic lemon juice or lime,,,,,full of sodium sulfites which are allergens for many people. I eat mine all week with potato chips and a can of Amy's soup.
Here in Georgia we have a great cannery called Castleberry...beef stew, Brunswick stew, hot dog chili. The cannery is clean and up to date with local people working there...no slave stuff. The ingredients are from here in the south. Walmart has the beef stew and it's better even than Dinty Moore, which is great.
I prefer the white albacore in spring watter canned tuna. It is more versatile as to what it can be eaten with since it has no olive oil.
I have as much as I can afford to feed my family if things go bad. Thank you for educating me with my choices.
You are so welcome! And thank you for watching!
Thank you for all the great information! Have a great day!
Thank you sir! I lead a humble lifestyle to provide for my family and this video has been very helpful!
Pro tip
Sardines are baby herrings
Tinned herring is cheaper and not much taste difference
Both are good fried in their oil
Canned mackerel is great. Natural Cast, packed in shoyu. So tasty.
I love kippers. Also love fishes in mistard sauce
10:02 I eat a lot of wild plants and roadkill critters when the fish aren't biting😊
As an Alaskan who eats a fair amount of salmon there is no comparison between the taste of red salmon & pink salmon, the red salmon wins everytime. Many Alaskans use pink salmon for dog food.
I'm not a big salmon fan, however red salmon tastes much better than pink...in my opinion.I rather make patties....I'm warming up to another recipe. Sliced onions, peppers and drained salmon, flaked cooked in a pan...spooned over rice or noodles is tasty.😊❤
Red salmon is fantastic. I mix a small can of it with brown rice, peas, a little butter, and some Parmesan cheese. So good. I add a baked sweet potato, some tomato slices, and fruit on the side for a tasty and nutritious meal.
