hi miss miggins
I am almost sure that you actually can get omlette chips and beans in a tin, I blame cross and blackwell for all this meals in a tin stuff, I think they do it out of surreal spite just because their beans are shite.

Tinned breakfast is wrong
Tinned meat is wrong apart from Spam fritters which are lush.
Tinned fish of any description is plain WRONG!

I've never got why tinned fish is so remarkably accceptable. It's grimbo food in the main, suitable for cats and people with recovering tastebuds.
I love tuna, but the stuff in cans bears so little resemblence to fresh fish that it's more than slightly worrying. What the hell is it meant to be? It's like comparing spam to roast pork.
I was hoping that, like squeezee cheese, sandwich spread and ye old oak tinned ham, that cheap canned fish would die a slow death as better alternatives became more obvious. But it doesn't seem to be happening.

Ugh. Fresh crab can be pretty cheap too, although it can be a bit of a hassle.
Even the frozen stuff (if you trust your fishmonger) can be pretty darn good, but that tinned stuff is just weird.
What is it with the Brits and their crabby weirdness. Crab (flavour) sticks and funny cans, whereas in many countries they're a cheap and much devoured snack.

People might remember the 70's tinned curries that were sauce at one end and rice at the other. Basically you had to get the tinopener on both ends.

Fresh sardines are lovely and quite cheap. Tinned sardines are for refugees for WWII

Grimbo.
Actually i got given some of that a few years ago; one of those bizarre inclusions in an otherwise droolworthy hamper. We kept on the shelves for ages, until finally taking it to Glastonbury on the off chance we'd be hungry.
I dimly remember opening the can and taking a peek at the pinky, unnatural stodge inside, the smell a mixture of vaseline and rendered factory scrapings, and then running away from the memory. In retrospect I should have saved the can and contents to lob at Paul McCardiganCartney...

I love them with a bit of brown sauce on them.
And Heinz sponge puddings - just what you need to warm up on a cold campsite.

I bet you'd even moan about Tesco Value beans!
Of course. It's only the best things on my shelf. Like those cans of expensive baked beans with cocktail sausages in them...
Tinned fish is just wrong. Compressed little cans of dandruffed fish-flaked nastiness, added like slurry to pasta sauces and mixed with industrial gloop mayonaisse to mask the unnatural flavour.
The spanish may do it better with their meatily preserved Ortiz cans, but we've thankfully gone well past the point where Napoleon's army were impressed by preserving any old nastiness in tin. Let us salute the humble fridge/freezer...
