    you've satisfied a curiosity that I've carried with me for YEARS, possibly decades considering I fist saw a canned cheeseburger while with friends in a store in high school. I always thought it would come out like a soggy gelatinous mass of gummy bread and char-painted "meat product." The trekking burger actually looks decent enough that I would consider trying it. Thanks mate!

    Come back Gusto. They were replaying your reviews on Good Morning LA. The blonde hostess has a crush on ya dude, she's totally digging the skull prop. Matthew Modine called and said he wants to work with you on the new MRE soap box drama series titled: Thermostabilized Retort Regret. A tragic tale of unsanitary food preparation and utilization during the post industrialized shelf-stable food revolution that led to The Great Oatmeal Cookie Bar Wars of 2027. Thankfully there will not likely be any casualties except for those who may have any distaste for nutmeg, clove, and cinnamon.

    I view these like joke gifts, something you'd buy as a gag gift but never really eat.
    BTW, you need to learn the magic of using a can opener on both sides of stuff like this and just push the "food" out. (Note I put the word "food" in quotes... :D)

  • @andreabarnfather8972
    @andreabarnfather8972 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I was weirdly intrigued by these - maybe if there was parchment paper between the bun/burger/additional stuff it might hold up better? That said it would be a complete faff to get separated stuff out and construct your burger. If I was starving I'd eat one...

    If you puncture the bottom of the Trekking Burger can the burger comes out a lot easier. Part of the problem is the melted cheese sticking to the side of the can. I found more like four or five minutes is enough to warm things up without fusing everything together. I don't have the cans now since I ate them both, but I think both of them are fully cooked, so warming to taste is all you really need.
    I came to the same conclusions as you. Although I could taste the cheese and other condiments better on the Burgertastic, the flavor of the meat was more bland than the Trekking Burger. I do think that weird pink look on the Burgertastc patty is some kind of coloring to make it look more like a medium rare patty. The Trekking Burger would look better if it was in the same size can as the Burgertastic since it comes out more squashed looking than the Burgertastic offering. Still, either of these would be like manna from heaven three days into the Pacific Crest or Appalachian trails. Just the ides you can eat any kind of burger two or three days from your next supply point would really lift the spirits after nothing but freeze dried food. Good job on the video this time not burning anything up. :-) My only advice would be to cut the heating in half next time you have one of these and see if it doesn't come out better.
    I got a dozen Trekking Burgers on sale for $49.99 to add to my emergency stash from an ebay seller who appears to be long gone. He also had black bean burgers, but by the time I went back to try some of them, he had closed up shop. A company called Yoders also makes burgers in a can but, at $150 per dozen (!), I didn't waste a lot of time looking into them. My problem now is I keep sneaking them when I wank a snack. I take everything out of the can and then take every thing off the burger, heat up the meat and bun for 45 seconds in the microwave, then plop the cheese and some real tomatoes and onions on them, along with some horseradish mayo. Let it sit for a couple minutes and the cheese melts just fine, especially if you add an extra piece of medium sharp cheddar because, hey, why not? Pretty darn good for coming from a can, and way better than most of the frozen burgers.

    • @sarjim4381
      @sarjim4381 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Dargon Group Probably "delicacy" is a bridge too far, but it's pretty tasty if you make it the way I described. Not quite as good as just boiling it in the can, but it can sure satisfy your craving for a burger when your on the trail and far away from one. In my younger days, I spent most of one summer hiking the Pacific Crest Trail. I hiked 11 miles out of my way just so I could detour into a little town and get a burger. Actually two burgers, and I think I stuffed another one in my pack for later. :-)

  • @aserta
    @aserta 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    So you don't potentially cut yourself, before ripping the last of the can top, bend it back flat once or twice, the metal will yield and rip off once you pull it up again. You should leave about 2 cm of metal for it to work properly.
