Or is it tuna of the land? I've had canned chicken before. Not the giant can, but the tuna sized can. That's quite enough of it, IMO.
Consider the consistency of canned tuna compared to fresh, then apply it to chicken and you'll have an idea of what you're in for. I like chicken too much to eat the canned type.
The reverse is true re: how I feel about tuna. I consider seared ahi as the surest way to achieve complete disappointment when paying for a meal at a restaurant. Fool me once, shame on you applies here. Canned tuna, OTOH, is satisfying in or on a salad, or mixed up with items of your choice for a sandwich.
Dave's mom worked in a tuna processing facility in San Pedro/Long Beach when she was < 20 or so. To this day, now in her mid-90s, she has never allowed tuna in her house. Not because she's seen the process, but because she smelled it, day in and day out. | ||

We use Kirklands (Costco) brand of canned chicken. It comes in 12.5 oz cans. You can get under a name brand in your grocery store. I make chicken salad with it.
Chicken, onion, celery, dill pickles, pepper, and mayo. Chop and mix to your own liking,. Also, we will use it for emergency when there isn't enough to make a meal if kids drop in. It takes the place of tuna in casserole or in cold pasta salad. It is good to have on hand. We like to keep tuna around as well. You can come up with lots of different dishes and it is a economical way to keep protein in the house. | ||

Many years ago I heard Julia Child say that you should always buy tuna packed in oil, not water, as it has a better flavor, and I find it to be true. I always buy soild pack white tuna in oil. I find that its becoming more difficult to find oil packed tuna, and I have to look at the cans carefully, because the water packed is often in the spot labled oil packed.
I’m very particular about tuna, and will never order it out. I want the tuna salad to be freshly prepared, with well drained oil packed, white tuna. I use two small cans well draianed, with about 2 1/2 tbs Best Foods Mayonnaise, 2 tbs sweet pickle relish, 1 tsp. yellow mustard, 2 stalks finely diced celery, and a generous amount of ground black pepper, mix well. This makes 3 good sized sandwiches, 1 1/2 sands for each of us for a nice quick dinner. And I always lightly butter the bottom slice of Orowheat sandwich bread, mayo on the top slice and some nice crisp Romaine lettuce. The butter keeps the bread from getting soggy, something my Mom always did. Macaroni and Cheese with Tuna For a quick hot dinner, prepare a white sauce with: 1 cup milk 2 tbls butter 2 tbls. flour 1/4 tsp salt A good dash of black pepper Boil 1 cup of uncooked small elbow macaroni, drain well Add: The cooked macaroni 1 small can well drained oil packed white tuna 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese 3 finely sliced green onions Mix well and serve. Makes two generous servings for dinner. I make the white sauce in the Microwave, while I’m boiling the macaroni. I can make this in about 15 mins. And its really delicious and very inexpensive. Something that you can prepare with what you have on hand in the pantry. If I don’t have green onions, or you don’t like them, use about 1/2 to 3/4 frozen peas, lightly cooked. And I’m with Ralph about the canned chicken. I used it 40 years ago for Chicken Salad sandwiches and it wasn’t bad. But a few months ago I bought some and made Chicken Salad sandwiches, it wasn’t as good as a remembered it to be in 1978. Eddie This post was last edited 07/08/2018 at 18:19 | ||

I've used Hormel canned chicken several times for chicken salad. I've also often used the Hormel canned smoked ham, and it's what I usually use to make ham salad. | ||

I like tuna but won`t eat it too often because of its mercury content.
Canned chicken I discovered in the US. Absolutely love it ! Along with some bottled ranch dressing it makes a quick an easy sandwich. Unfortunately both cannot be had here and with TTIP on ice it`ll stay a very rare treat. When my folks had relatives from Canada visiting, they brought some canned salmon and showed us how to make a simple spread with real mayonnaise and some lemon juice. I almost forgot how good it was, but reading this thread freshened up my memory. | ||

My ham salad is quick and easy. I just mix a couple tablespoons of mayo with a tablespoon of Sechler's Sweet Pickle Relish and a small amount (about 1/2 tsp.) of McCormick's Caribbean Jerk Seasoning. I add that to the shredded canned ham and refrigerate for about a half hour. | ||

 I don't eat tuna anymore unless it's fried in a little patty. I just got burned out on it after years of eating it in tuna casserole, tuna helper, and smelling cat food everyday. I have a chicken casserole recipe that calls for canned chicken and it's quite tasty. Tony loves it and has me make double when I fix it so he can eat on it for a day or two while I am at work. | ||
