The pork snouts and lips are gross- but I love scrapple, which uses them and other pork "offal". (awful!)

I love gravy...but the Pork brains are just tooo much..
Jesh...I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THE STUFF THAT IS STUFFED INTO A CAN
AND PEOPLE EAT IT..

BUT if I was starving and in a situation where I had no other option
then open it up and dig in....would go great with some cheap wine.

HW ...I think Andrew Zimmern should try some of this stuff.

New program for Andrew..."WHAT'S IN THE CAN"

Great link. The comments after each picture are hilarious. It appears that there is a video of someone eating pork brains, but I couldn't bring myself to click on it.

The poster even wrote Armour a letter asking why the milk gravy- but no mention of having received a response.

I am also wondering why the milk gravy. So, I wrote Armour (I couldn’t find Rose’s website):

Hi! I was wondering why your pork brains, and indeed all the brands of pork brains I have ever seen, are packed in milk gravy. Is it for taste or does the milk act as a preservative?
Thanks!
Tracy

This brand is extra-Kosher, because it's made in Israel (by hostile Palestinians, from the taste of it), and has so much flavor enhancer that two bites make me dizzy. Anyway, it has the same jellied coating that makes Sweet Sue's Chicken such a visual treat (we rinse off the fish, to get rid of as much sugary jelly as possible).

And in the non-Kosher category (about as un-Kosher as you can get), I'd nominate PICKLED PIG LIPS, in giant glass jars, from Winn Dixie. I was in Louisiana for the day, and turned the corner in the grocery, and there they were. A whole huge shelf filled with giant jars of the things. They were white, and floating in a pink liquid (bloody brine?)...each jar containing enough of them to feed a large gathering. Can't tell you about the taste, though. Obviously, that's not gonna happen....
OH MY, I think I am going to spew..........................ready to gag!!! Jellied chicken???

Sardines when you open up the can and they are all lined up like little soldiers............ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

I was reading the whole thread holding on to potted meat. Ha. My grandmother tried to feed me it as a child. Looks, smells, and maybe tastes like dog food. I wouldn't taste either one. Also, Hormel's canned chilli...gross.

You're sitting at home, feeling that familiar gnawing in the pit of your stomach. You need a snack. A little nosh. What'll it be? Something yummy that will really hit the spot. You know what would be perfect? A bowl of pig snouts. They're so good and chewy, plus it's fun to stick your tongue in the nostrils as you're working them in your back teeth. But where are you going to get a bunch of pig nostrils right now? It's not like you can go butcher a bunch of pigs this very minute. You have stuff to do. But wait! Momma picked up a jar of Dietrich's Fine Country Pickled Pig Snouts at the store last week, and they are just waiting for you to tuck in and enjoy. Open 'er up! Get a whiff and chow down.

And if you look at the jar, you'll see that one of the snouts has a mole on it.....

Talk about a train wreck thread. Mine is tame, tinned 'ready meals' usually steak/sausages and vegetables. I used to love it as a kid but would have to be starving to eat it now.
And it doesn't compare to that pale rubbery pinkness of pig snout. Where's Martha Stewart? 100 Ways with Pig Snout and Jellied Chicken.

That canned chicken wins, but that thing with the teeth certainly comes in a close second. And to think, I was going to say canned cranberry sauce, the kind that is just one big blob that comes out looking exactly like the can it was in... wow.
