WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?

So while browsing the web like any pressure filled work day, I came across some rather horrifying pictures. They were pictures of canned foods, but not the kinds you or most other people are used to. No tuna here, nor SPAM, nor baked beans, but some rather unique items. Here are three that really stood out to me.

CONGRATULATIONS, IT'S A CHICKEN

Now chicken in a can is not so unusual. I mean if they can can chicken of the sea, why not chicken of the land, right? Well, it's a whole chicken in a can slathered with gooey gravy. Now it may not sound THAT bad, but take one quick look at it and it will appear as if a your chicken is covered in placenta. The pale, headless chicken covered in clear jelly makes it a look as though the can just gave birth to a hairless, naked Ron Jeremy.

PUT YOUR CAN WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS

Apparently it's a delicacy in some Eastern European country or village to eat fish mouths since enough people do it to justify canning these things. Now I am not a a food expert but it seems that eating teeth and jaw bone won't exactly provide the nourishment a body needs. I don't know about you, but opening a can and seeing a bunch of what is essentially fish dentures floating around in brown gravy isn't exactly appealing to me.

LET THAT SOAK IN YOUR BRAIN FOR A MOMENT

Pork brains in milk gravy. I don't know which puts me off most... "brains" or "milk gravy". Actually the brains I would be willing to try but the milk gravy just sounds icky.
