my son's best friends remarked to him upon surveying my stuffed
refrigerator: There's lots of food, but nothing to eat!

That said, I do admit to not paying attention to what's available in
the deli section or the inner aisles for that matter, so you can only
imagine my surprise when I discovered shredded chicken in the deli
refrigerator case. I'm hoping it's a regular item because it would
certainly shave some time off making certain dishes like enchilada
stuffed zucchini where I had to thaw and cook a couple of chicken
thighs so I could shred them - just to get going with the recipe.

If you use a lot of chicken meat for Mexican food or soups or chicken salad, etc., it is a LOT cheaper to buy a case and portion it out and keep it in the freezer.

I'm willing to bet the shredded chicken in that deli case was just thawed from that same product.

It is a sign of getting older. I'm more inclined to buy a frozen
veggie with a butter sauce now.

About 18 months ago a new bakery opened not too far from us and we get
most of our bread there instead of baking. Some days we just don't
have the energy to do everything from scratch.

Probably another half dozen examples that will come to mind later.

Albertsons sells that. They also sell whole cooked chicken breasts as do
other stores. I pay attention to most all of the aisles. Don't usually
look at dog food or liquor and don't often look at frozen foods unless
perhaps I have a coupon or need something specific. I often find little
racks of things in odd spots where I wouldn't otherwise have looked.

But it's not just young people. I know people older than me who simply do
not cook. If they did buy shredded chicken, they would eat it as is or top
some bagged salad with it. They would never make enchiladas.

I saw bags of lightly salted, toasted tortilla strips at Cash and
Carry today. They were in bags like chips but were in the aisle with
flour and stuff like that. The strips were just exactly as you would
cut them for chicken tortilla soup.

I can buy random weight bags of restaurant style "thin and crispy"
triangular chips that are IMO 100% better than what I'd make at home.

If and when I buy it, I'll study the situation more closely - but the
meat looked hand shredded and fresh. I buy rotisserie chickens from
time to time and don't expect it to have any more sodium than those.
Thanks.

I made my own bread since I married and even through all the years I was
working I made my own. These days we eat so little and I have lost the
urge to make a lot of things I used to. I use a small breadmaker these
days. I make up my own mixture and it does us fine

Shredded chicken in the case? Sure, the convenience is there, but for anyone trying to live frugally, it's not the answer.

I used to wonder why I saw very elderly ppl buying ready to eat mashed spuds etc, - it finally dawned on me that they just can't do the work anymore. It's sad, because they prob. have to stretch the food dollar and can't. Ah, the dilemmas of old age on a meager income.

I didn't say anything about living frugally, I said it's a great way
to get a meal started without needing to cook and shred the chicken
first. The biggest plus was that it looked like real meat, not
processed crap. I have no idea what they were charging per pound -
but whatever it was, the amount I'd need for the two of us was very
reasonable.

I buy canned chicken, it's solid white meat... a change from tuna.

I am curious.... is that a good deal? I can't remember the last time I
bought canned chicken.... if ever. We eat chicken a lot and usually cook
enough to have some left over for sandwiches.

I buy Walmart's Great Value brand, it's excellent.

Yep...sometimes it's a waste of time and effort to insist on homemade.
The best I've found are Tostitos, Restaurant Style, White corn chips.
I think that's the brand but it's been a couple of years since I
bought any. Homemade nachoes are on my menu for soon and I always get
them for the tortilla chips.

On the same note...many years ago, on another food group, someone was
asking for a recipe to make diet coke. LOL. That was the stupidest
request I'd ever read. In hindsight, it was most likely just a troll.

It can be if you get it on sale and use coupons. I've gotten many small
cans for free.

This is different from the cooked chicken I've seen at TJ's. What I
see there is thick slices of breast that I have to shred... and it's
expensive. This stuff is already shredded and the price didn't blow
me away.

There are also various types of cut and shredded chicken, some flavored and some not, in the
packaged meat aisle where you would find things like sliced ham, Oscar Mayer sandwich meats, etc.
It been available there for years. If just chopped or cut up, you might have to shred it for your recipe, but
it is still a huge time-saver.

Sure. I make hard boiled eggs European style. I put them in water and
bring it to a boil at 100C instead of 212F. I often make them the night
before, but instead of doing it a 8:00PM, I do it at 20:00

In the morning, they taste very European.

The smallish cans of all white meat chicken is excellent, both in quality and convenience. I think you must be thinking of whole canned chickens, which aren't very popular any more, at least in my supermarkets. I think Sheldon is speaking of chunk white meat chicken, which can be found with other canned meats like tuna, shrimp, salmon and paper-wrapped cans of deviled ham. The brand I usually buy is Swanson's.

Sheldon is awfully fond of canned meat. He praises SPAM, but disses
freshly ground beef from the grocery store, calling it, "Mystery meat."

No canned meat "is excellent." Lots of us have our little food slumming
things, but I would never claim that one of them is anything other than
just that, food slumming. I could say that I occasionally enjoy a package
of the cheapest chicken flavor Ramen noodles, with some carrot shaved into
the water and boiled for several minutes before adding the noodles, and in
addition to the seasoning packet, a rounded teaspoon of Better Than
Bouillon, a sprinkle of garlic salt, a half teaspoon or so of dried parsley
and a big pinch of black peeper and a little pinch of cayenne, and heck,
maybe even a tiny pinch of MSG, and about a half teaspoon of butter.

I like that. I don't consume it often--for one thing it's almost 100%
empty carbs--but I enjoy it upon occasion. I'd never describe it as
"excellent," or even really good, and I'm not recommending it. See the
difference?

Using words like excellent for food slummy fare degrades the word,
"excellent." It's like grade inflation. Enjoy your canned chicken, but
understand that it can never be more than mediocre, and nothing you make
with it is more than mediocre, though if I had to eat canned chicken,
Swanson's would certainly be my first choice.

Well, we all are snobs about something...I guess yours is chunk white meat chicken in a can. It is excellent..
..has good flavor, is actual real non-re-formed chicken, and so far, none that I have purchased has ever had
any bits that weren't usable (like gristle, tendons, etc.) that you find in some other chicken products. I use
it for chicken salad and for chicken and rice casserole. You can't tell the difference between that and chicken
that you have cooked from raw yourself; except yours might not be as moist.

You would have more properly written "*I* 'can't tell the difference,'" I
meaning you, not me.

In chicken salad, I probably wouldn't be able to discriminate, since I
don't eat food that is slopped with jarred "mayonnaise," which you might
insist is indistinguishable from real mayonnaise.

Take heart though. A more discriminating palate is mostly a curse, and it
seems that viewed in that light, you have been generously blessed.

Yeah, you discriminate whose penis you suck, only the long thick juicy
ones.

Of the several brands of canned chicken breast I've tried all are on
par with quality all white solid pack canned tuna, and can be used in
all the same recipes with equal success... only difference is that the
chicken is about half the price of the tuna... I like both and buy
both. I like the canned chicken better than picked off the frame
chicken in pot pies, costs less too as there's no waste, no cooking,
no pans to scrub... I prefer to buy the larger size cans, the chunks
are larger, and there's enough for left overs or to feed more
people... naturally my cats love canned chicken breast better than
canned tuna. Canned chicken breast works well in soups and many other
recipes, it's a staple in my pantry.

Actually I do have some authentic Russian family recipes (not from a
cookbook). Quite a few years ago,I talked via email for a bit with a
woman who grew up there and I asked about something authentic. She
sent me a few family recipes. If you are really interested, I can try
to find them. I think they are still on my last computer but hopefully
I transferred them to this one when I changed. I do know that I never
printed them out. Two of them, that I tried, were very good.

I was just trolling you, Gary. Quite successfully it seems.

You should put them on a thumb drive or a portable hard drive ASAP for
safe keeping.

Angela and I loved to eat at a Russian place on Staten Island. We never had
the meals though. Just appetizers, soups and salads.
