I just ate a can of this without microwaving it. Give it to me

If it was dented its a lot worse. if it was dented and had discoloring/smelled bad (by that i mean worse than normal).
You'll probably be ok, but it does say to heat it for a reason, mostly to cover their ass though...

So, what you're saying is, I can eat 3 more?

No, but you should prolly rethink your life.

Cold canned chef boyardee is a rock bottom low point.

no, you've found the secret to immortality

>but it does say to heat it for a reason
that's just so people don't eat it cold and use it as an excuse for why it tastes bad. i mean it'll probably taste bad to most people either way, but cold pasta and tomato sauce isn't as appetizing as when it's hot.

I keep a few cans in my bag when hiking. Usually ravioli. They are canned at a high enough heat that it should never be a problem. All warnings to heat product are to cover asses. Any can that is not pierced or bulging should be fine. The metal canning process has been more or less unchanged since 1804. It predates pasteurization by 30 years, and is generally regarded as safe because the food is cooked during the process, and sealed at temperatures that will not support aerobic bacteria, and renders the can airtight during the process.

It's actually a fascinating subject. The can was actually in use for 30 years before the can opener was invented.

Do you have a legitimate reason to or are you just american?

I do 3 day hikes. If it's summer, I don't feel the need to fuck with a camp stove. I just eat a can, drink some water, lay out my bedroll, and pass out.

Is eating a legitimate reason? Am I not a real hiker without mountain house?

Get out more. I am also a hiking/camping anon. Sometimes it is a pain to carry a stove so having a couple cans of food does the trick.

do you guys like chef boyardee with the can on? I don't know why these taste so different, but I love them.

fuckin messy as shit though god damn.

>>7457839
I am so confused by "with the can on". As opposed to out of the can, or what?

most canned food except acidic stuff is edible for hundreds of years so long as the can is intact. The texture and taste will deteriorate but will be safe to eat even raw

Congratulations on trolling ck
Or are you really so stupid you think anything harmful could live amongst all that salt in a sealed can, that 30 seconds of heat would kill

earlier than the rest of us, but thats not really because of the can alone so much as the fact where youre point in your life where youre okay with eating it

Is this a new meme?
