Those crazy Germans…first Hitler, then Neuschawbenland, and now…a canned cheeseburger.
Oh boy, I can hardly wait to sink my teeth into that thick, juicy patty, crisp lettuce, and succulent processed cheese…and look at that fluffy bun!
Now, my Deutsch is a bit rusty, but if I’m reading the website correctly this is a meal targeted towards backpackers. I’ve done my share of week long backpacking trips, and I must admit I’ve craved a big cheeseburger at the end of many, but this just seems…wrong.
I mean, questionable ingredients and nutritional issues aside, is one supposed to eat this cold or heat it over your camp stove? How does that lettuce stay crisp – varnish? How does that burger fit in the can, which is clearly smaller? And who on earth puts a cucumber slice on a burger in lieu of a pickle?
If that damn Euro wasn’t so strong, though…
I was tipped to this here, plus you get to see photos of one being uncanned. Mmmm.

Well, only one way to find out. I don’t imagine this meal boding well for my stomach on a hiking trip.

Maybe it’s just a very young pickle.

That’s what she said.
