Food You're Not Really Sure Anyone Even Buys

These jars of Herring especially when it's packed in sour cream

Do the Jevvs even eat this fish packed jar of milk? Or did they make it up just to fuck with us goys?

These are always in the freezer section at my local supermarket but I've never seen anybody buy them. I'm led to understand that they're essentially seasoned pork meatballs in an onion gravy which doesn't sound too bad but I couldn't ever bring myself to buy them.

@Chive Turkey Barry Lewis isn't gay, no closeted gay man scores a wife as adorable as Mrs Barry.
I’ve had them. They’re alright. I wouldn’t call them exciting, though.

My one is jellied eels. Tried them once. Bony fishy stuff in aspic. Absolutely grim, but apparently they’re a Cockney staple.
 
Aside from that... who the fuck buys that Cherry Mash stuff? I see it at either Crest or Walmart every so often and I always wonder who even buys it for it to be by the cash registers.
I have wanted to try that candy for so long, but am too cheap to order it off amazon. it looks delicious
 
I actually unironically like Chicken in a Biskit. Fight me.

Eh, I just never see it being sold. Even my other classmates were stunned she was eating them because “wait, someone buys those?”

I’ve only seen Cherry Mash at Hobby Lobby, and they’re probably at my local Cracker Barrel too. I think only old people buy them for the nostalgia. Actually used to read a feature in the paper where a woman would locate hard to find items for people and someone requested that she’d find cherry mash locally because he didn’t know how to internet.
 
Chicken in a biscuit crackers are so good, why wouldn’t someone like those?

Someone mentioned capers too. I always throw those into salad if I have them, they’re also great with smoked salmon as someone else said.

As for what I’ve seen at the store that I wonder who’s buying it, I guess mostly just weird canned/instant meal stuff like this:

Seriously looks like dog food.
 
Red Baron is far and fucking away the best value for your dollar of the frozen pizzas.

Tombstone is inedible garbage but Red Baron is actually quite pleasant for the money.

I’d get a Red Baron for $4 (less on sale) before any of the hipster boutique brands or the sloppy mess that is DiGiorno. I’ve never had a DiGiorno that didn’t end up slimy at the dough/sauce interface.

Hell, RB it’s far better than store brand and almost always costs less. Red Baron is the working man’s pizza. Herr Richthofen would have been fucking proud to end up on that box.

So to answer the question “who even buys that”: sane people everywhere who just want a tasty back up meal.

If you haven’t had the kind with the brick oven crust, it’s also delightful.
Bitch, just order a pizza. Little Caesars delivers now.

I have a friend who ate these and got food poisoning. I always thought that shit would survive a nuclear war. My FIL eats them like they’re candy. View attachment 1086232
The ones in barbeque or hot sauce are alright.

I actually tried those crackers again a few years ago and they are nothing like the way they were when I was a kid. They just taste salty now. They are ok though.
 
Clamato. What the everloving F?

A grocery store down the road from me has Cherry Mash. I love those!

Liquid smoke is just vomit inducing. Why don't you marinate your steaks in diffusion pump oil waste instead, it's cheaper and probably healthier, too.

It's meant to be used by the drop, not the cup.

I've tried head cheese once, rather accidentally by not asking questions about what was in an offered sandwich.

It's... unpleasant, but mostly it's the texture. It's simultaneously slimy, rubbery, gristly, and yet somehow also mushy. It's very offputting.

Flavor-wise... it really doesn't have much. Just a sort of generic meatyness, sort of like bologna or something, only less-so.

The one time I think I may have had headcheese, it was delicious! The same grocery store that sells Cherry Mash used to sell deli meat and cheese ends packaged up, and I put a slab of sliced meat bits in a pan and roasted it. It looked and tasted a lot like ham and bacon bits, after the fat was drained off. I wouldn't have wanted to eat it cold, however.

You guys are dunking on canned meat, but the only time I had it it was pretty good. I don’t remember what kind it was exactly or the brand; it was just pulled pork I think. Lil bit of salt and some chopped up jalapeños and that shit was the bomb.com. I do admit it looked nasty as fuck coming out of the can and while cooking, but the cooking smell was good enough. If you handed me a plate of canned meat after it had been cooked idk if I could tell the difference between that and fresh.

If you're willing to actually cook it you can make most canned meats far more palatable. Spam when pan fried, spiced, and accompanied with some reasonable sides is actually decent. However at the end of the day you are essentially gussying up a pig, an extremely salty pig in the case of most canned meats.

But hey some people can't afford otherwise.

Having worked at a grocery store...we mostly sold them to single men, presumably with no cooking skills. Lotsa old widowers and the like; also homeless dudes that presumably ate them cold. I suppose they're practical, being shelf-stable and all. I've tried them and they're not horrible; not something I'd eat regularly, but not bad.

People buy them because they want to eat dog food. The only person I know who's bought those also ate an actual dog's dog food repeatedly. Coincidentally, he is also interested in smelling his own farts, armpits etc. and literally pozzing negholesp. Dogs in human bodies buy those.

German, ready-made jell-o, vanilla sauce included.
I don't think I've ever seen anyone buy it or seen it in anyone's fridge.

The taste is this stuff here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galium_odoratum
I honestly have no idea if any sane country is using it to flavor their food and how to translate it to English.
I've had woodruff syrup with Berliner Weisse, it's not too bad, but the idea of eating jello with that flavor is pretty gross, tbh.
