what do you think about chow mein out of the can? (chicken, celery)

[Angorlee]

Its been selling for as long as I remember so there must be people who like it . I like it a lot but question how nutrisaus it is. Therefore I rarely eat it. Lets hear some opinions.

I ate it as a child, mostly because meals at our house were:
"If you don't like it, there's another meal coming up in 8 hours or so".

With a little practice anyone can make better chow mein with "normal" vegetables and a frying pan. When I first started, I got teased a lot about "Irish Chow Mein" Shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, sliced onions, sliced celery and a little bit of chicken or pork. My brothers and sisters may have teased me about it, but they always ate every last shred.

Yeah, my Mom loved to fix that stuff. Yuck! A can of it has not been in my pantry since I left home. So, that is how I feel about it!

Too slimy for me. Someone must eat it. I have actually been served it...even though I have never bought a can personally. Just another mystery...after all, they sell pigs feet in a jar, who would buy that?! And don't even get me started on Spam!

Someone has already voiced my opinion.

I think it's best left in the can.

Salty and tasteless. But if you like it, it's none of my business!

[Caligula1]

I have never tried canned chow mein but I am guilty of using the chow mein vegies and water chestnuts in my own chow mein

[maggie2101]

Wow, I did not even remember it existed until you brought it up. I think I ate some as a child 45 some odd years ago. The only thing it brings to mind is slimy. Must be the bean sprouts that made it so.

I would make my own if I had to have chow mein.

Yech.

I rarely eat anything from a can. The exception is Campbell's soups. I have hundreds of old recipes using them. Yeah, I know, against my beliefs...but it ain't too bad, and it does fill my belly.
