I only said that one person posted a comment to that effect on Amazon.
Otherwise the chicken came highly rated. I tried it and found it to be no
better or worse than any other canned that I have found.

Canned chicken is one thing that I have gotten for free, countless times
with coupons. I can get tuna for cheap but I have never gotten it for free.

To me, canned chicken and canned tuna are very similar. Same sort of
texture and the taste isn't that far off in terms of differences. I also
buy canned turkey for use in gravy and casseroles. But it is harder to
find.

Chicken tastes like tuna? Not in my universe by any means. Your taste buds must be worn out from eating all that Tex-Mex highly spiced food. Best lay off that stuff.

I don't eat Tex Mex food. I hate the stuff. Also hate highly spiced food.
This is what I bought:

http://www.amazon.com/Daily-Chef-Nat...canned+chicken

If you read through the reviews, one reviewer said that it tasted metallic
and other said that it tasted like tuna. What I said is that they are very
similar. Same texture and the taste isn't that far off. I don't think that
it is and I am not alone.

I once ordered a tuna sandwich when I worked at the golf course and the
woman behind the counter apologized to me for the sandwich. Said it might
be chicken. She couldn't tell. It was. I prefer tuna in a pouch but for
chicken I don't notice much difference.

White chunk tuna can pass for canned chicken in some people's palettes.
My father did not like tuna. My mother used to make tuna salad with
white chunk and told him it was chicken. He believed her.

I really hated "staff parties" no matter the time of year. Everyone got drunk and then all the bitching about other employees AND the subordinate bosses came out. Also my wife would get drunk and accuse me of spending too much time with the female employees and ignoring her.

My wife was great at dredging the events of bygone days into the new spats which made them far worse and harder to overcome or think out objectively.

I rarely use Google and never heard that term before. But I did look at the
link and I can't see in any way shape or form how any of that would apply to
me.

"Kitchen sinking involves throwing all kinds of events, or misdeeds of
another person, at them all at once. In it's worst from a conversation about
who's supposed to take out the garbage today might turn into a discussion of
what someone did ten years ago. It's an extremely destructive way to
communicate, because:
a.. it focuses on the past over which nobody has control
b.. it overwhelms the person on the receiving end, and the present issue
almost always gets lost
c.. it destroys trust between people
You should know that kitchen sink communication is common, particularly in
marriages, but it also happens in the workplace, and is a "normal" but
unfortunate way of communicating. Often it happens because a person stores
up his or her hurts or perceived slights, until the point when the tide of
anger can't be held back. For some other people, kitchen sinking can be a
way of trying to feel better about themselves, or to justify their anger, or
feelings of being hard done by.

In any event it's a poor way to conduct oneself."

I just don't get it. I didn't really bring up events or misdeeds except for
sf's buying of processed foods. And I know that she does buy them because
she has posted of it here before. I think most people here buy at least
some processed foods. Most people do. And seeing as how there is a whole
entire gluten free market out there, I can't see why people who have celiac
would be fools to buy it.

I never said that sf was gluten free or celiac or anything of the sort.

A celiac who buys canned beans is in no way any more likely to get cross
contaminated than one who buys dried beans, bulk or otherwise. In fact in
many cases they are less likely to be cross contaminated. Unless they buy
them at Trader Joe's or Walmart where many of the items they sell have a
shared lines warning on them. And most people with food issues would not
buy anything with that disclaimer on there.

Have you ever heard the saying "everything but the kitchen sink"?
That's you.

Chicken in a can, I will have to ponder that. I have never bought that,
Rice-A-Roni, canned gravy, and I never bought Ramen noodles, until one
of my children came home from college and introduced me to them. There
are probably other things, I have never bought, but they are not coming
to mind.

What's to ponder... do you eat canned tuna? Canned chicken breast is
solid white meat, very good made up in any way you'd use solid canned
tuna; excellent chicken salad, great chicken tetrazinni. Try it,
costs much less than canned tuna too. I like it in hot/cold pasta
dishes. Ponder these:

Becca, Have you made Barb's Nicer-Roni. It's wonderful and beats the
box all to heck.

@@@@@ Now You're Cooking! Export Format

Mom's Nicer-Roni

grains, side dish

2 teaspoons beef bouillon granules
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried onions, ground in a mortar and pestle
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon celery leaves
1/4 cup vermicelli, broken into small pieces
3/4 cup long grain white rice

Combine the first group of ingredients and set aside.

In a large skillet, melt 1-2 tablespoons of butter and add the rice
and vermicelli. Stir over medium-high heat until vermicelli browns.
Sprinkle over the dry mixture and add 2 cups hot water (it will steam
and sputter, so be careful). Cover and cook over low heat for about
12-15 minutes until rice is tender.

Mom's Nicer-Roni Seasoning - 10 pkgs

Recipe By:
8 1/3 tablespoons beef bouillon granules
3 1/3 tablespoons dried onions, ground in a mortar and pestle
3 1/3 tablespoons dried parsley
1 2/3 tablespoons dried basil
1 2/3 tablespoons dried thyme
1 2/3 tablespoons celery leaf, ground

Combine. Use 2 tablespoons for 2 cups rice, 3 tablespoons broken
vermicelli or other small pasta, and 2-1/4 cups water.
I made kits for Chris and Jamie for Christmas 2004. They loved it.
It's good and not nearly as salty as Rice-A-Roni.

I grew up eating Rice A Roni. It's terrible stuff. I have had canned

I couldn't taste it. But wouldn't eat t now.
