I get canned tuna in spring water for tuna salad. Can anyone explain canned tuna in vegetable oil? I bought the wrong one and it was disgusting to have this slimy oil pouring out a can of fish. I initially thought it went bad.

Hamburger Helper and it's chicken & tuna siblings are a single man's or working mom's handy treat.

I use the light frozen TV dinners at work and get a few for the wife. I work rotating shifts at the hospital so this is the easiest way to have food ready to eat. Some of them have a very good flavor. Wife has spinal problems so she can't always cook when I'm not home so these provide a small meal that is more nutritious than a sandwich or bowl of cold cereal.

Pig feet, cow feet, chicken feet, etc.
Broccoli (That stuff STINKS!)

I'll add any meat that comes in a can. Just the thought of meat that can be at room temperature for years, and still be okay to eat... yuck! My SO told me the other day how his parents used to buy him Vienna sausage and canned ham for snacks. I didn't know what canned ham was, so he made me Google it. I don't think i could even feed that to a cat, it looked so gross. Although after seeing canned ham, I understand why he no longer eats pork products.

I would say that I don't know who buys canned soup... But my SO buys canned soup, so thats who.

Braunschweiger is another one... My grandma used to buy it as a treat to give to her dog. For the longest time I thought it was dog food and didn't realize that people ate it as well. I was always confused as to why they would have dog food in the deli counter next to people food. Still can't believe people eat that stuff...

Olives. Yikes, i know a lot of people love them but i just can't.

Flies and other insects are better for you than the crap on half our shelves.
