It's a canned/pickled hotdog. How high were your expectations?

 

No, they aren't. Not even close.

My expectations were very low when I tried them.

But not low enough, apparently.:

I hate them, I hate potted meat, I hate Treet, but I love Spam. I mean, I buy it by the case!:thumb:

Lil' Smokies are pretty good as well.

 

me no like eether

 

They aren't my favorite, but I don't have an issue with them. I find that they are texturally challenged and might work better as a pate' spread on crackers or baked bread. I don't keep any on hand because I prefer cans over jars for most LTS.

 

They are edible, but very salty. However, go a few days or a week without food and you'll really enjoy the flavor. They would be good to have in storage for emergency. Plus, kids love them!

 

Its an acquired taste ---- like me --

 

What! They come in cans now? I guess I will have to reacquaint myself to them.

 

I'm gonna let this slide.

Try them with spicy mustard and saltines.

 

That's not fair. Even roadkill tastes passable if you use spicy mustard and saltines. But you are still eating roadkill. :taped:

I'm with the OP on this one. I'll leave them on the store shelves for you at the next big looting.

 

Not my favorite. I will slice it into coins, put in frying pan, pour pancake batter over. Thats about the only way I eat them.

 

I couldn't even bring myself to do this to a perfectly good pancake. :xeye:

 

Sitting on the bank of a little pond with my granpaw, couple cane poles, a can of vienna sausages and a pack of saltines. I eat them now, close my eyes and I am back in a good place.

 

Yep, the only time I eat Vienna Sausage or sardines is when I'm feeling nostalgic. My dad would eat them when I was a kid and would always share with me. Funny, but thinking back about it, my mom NEVER had anything to do with them!! I tried a can of Cajun Sardines recently, and had reasonable expectations....but, it was clearly an 'eat or die' kind of food!! lol

 

i loved them as a kid, they were my favorite meal with rice

grandma ran out and tried cutting up hot dogs but i couldnt be fooled

still one of my favorite canned meats

 

Try these I like them better than Libby or armour

 

They truly are awful (but then, to my palate, so is Spam).

I do have to thank you for the thread title - I laughed my head off when I saw it - because I agree so heartily and never expected to see many (if any) here who might feel the same way (much less have the guts to talk about it).

 

My problem with Vienna sausages is not the texture, it's the taste. far too bland. It's like they are made with diluted hot dog water. I've tried the other flavours, still no go.

Potted meat,however, is a different story.

 

My problem with Vienna sausages is not the texture, it's the taste. far too bland.

Well it's how we raised, I was told that vienna sausages were little boys... Never mind I don't need another demerit point, and that rice was like maggots. Oh well, I hope you starve suckers.

Rancher

 

Grill them in a ban to brown them a bit and they are much better. Also cut them up and add them to a can of baked beans.
I've eaten worse things that's for sure

 

I don't really care for the plain ones. But the ones in BBQ sauce are somewhat better..t

 

The bbq ones are my favorite but the originals are good too. Didn't realize there were so many brands though. No wonder some people run into some that taste nasty. The Libbys are my brand. The yellow can with the boy on the label look cheaper than normal

Around here there's a brand called Southgate I believe that makes potted meat, chili, stew, etc...and all of it is terrible. That's what that yellow can reminds me of.

 

Gi issue canteen cup, pack of ramein noodles, can of Vienna sausages dumped in, bring to a boil, burn your tongue, back to the fight. I have freaking lived on those things before and was happy to get it.

 

Covered in Frenches yellow mustard is only way I've ever eaten them. The little store near me has jalapeno , hot & spicy and smoked flavors now plus some written in Spanish.

 

I can eat fried spam... I can eat baked spam... I can cut it up and use it in an omelette. I can't even stand the smell or look of vienna sausages! One of the worst "foods" ever invented. Horrible, horrible, horrible. And NASTY too. And they look bad and taste worse...

Get the idea... they are incredibly nasty.


NGH

 

Vienna sausages must be eaten out of the can while in a boat, plastic fork in one hand and fishing rod in the other:. Wash them down with some beenee weenies for desert:. Man I need to go fishing soon.

 

Try them with hot sauce, lots of hot sauce.

 

The liquid is beef broth. You're pouring the flavor down the drain.

I add the liquid to a bowl of rice as it cooks and then toss the sausages into the rice after it cooks to steam a bit and heat. Makes a great meal eaten with some french bread.

I was buying them from Amazon when a flat of 36 cans was $12-14 bucks. Got a lot of them in buckets with rice now. I still eat them now and then when I miss them. Potted meat, the same.

 

Stand-up weenies. Don't eat too many anymore but there's a lot worse things. They go really good with a saltine cracker, beer, and fishing trip. Thanks for the thought I think I'll carry a can down to the pond dam when I get home. :

 

I don't care for them although I do have Spam in the food storage. But don't kid yourself. You and everybody else will eat things you might not like if it's all there is. Including Vienna sausages.

 

They are bland. Never tried them cooked, always straight out of the can.

I prefer sardines, in terms of canned meats.

 

Nah... those things should be shipped to people who are starving to death somewhere. I'm sure that's the only way I could stomach the taste. Even the thought gives me the heaves.
