Give me a real sandwich ... no mayo

Not my kind of sandwich

While digging around the internet you can come across the strangest of ideas that people come up with to try selling them to you and me. Cans are popular for crazy ideas, for putting something in them other than what you are expecting.

Sandwich in a Can is one of those ideas, yes in a can, an American idea, which I hope will stay on the American side of the pond. The can contains a hot dog sized bun, reputed to be made from a special military developed formulation that allows it to stay sweet, soft, and fresh for over a year. Will that be something we see on the shelves of our supermarkets one day soon, bread that could stay fresh for a year? Food for the poor while the rich shop at artisan bakeries for fresh daily bread. Also in the can is individual packets of peanut butter and jelly along with a little sweet for dessert.

All I can think is why would anyone buy or let alone eat one of these just how desperate would you have to be to contemplate eating a sandwich from a can. It will be very unlikely I will ever taste one even if they were on sale in the UK I did a quick google search and found a review below,

If you’ve had a peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich, it should be pretty easy to imagine eating a Candwich: Just envision that sandwich, but made using a hot-dog bun that’s been sitting out for a couple hours. The bread is the real problem here: It’s soft but not moist, with a chemically induced freshness that makes it seem stale when it isn’t. It disintegrates easily, which means lots of bread crumbs mixed in with your smooth PB&J mélange. The ratio of bread to filling is also off, resulting in a lot of subpar bread and not enough ooey-gooey filling. It’s not a bad sandwich, per se, but when dealing with a sandwich as idiot-proof as the PB&J, any flaws seem much more glaring.

It doesn’t sound inviting even if you were fancying giving it a go.
