I tried a little experiment last month with two cans of the same brand of tuna. One I drained the oil out completely before mixing into my pasta, the other I kept the oil in and just stirred it all together. The drained one came out super dry and I had to add extra mayo and salt to make it taste like anything. The one with the oil was way richer and I only needed a little pepper and some dried herbs from my pantry. But my roommate says the oil makes it too greasy and adds calories for no reason. So which side do you fall on for a 5 minute meal? Do you drain your canned fish or leave the oil in for flavor?
Forgot my camp stove fuel at home. Popped into a Shell station outside Moab. Found a can of chili, some crackers, and a bic lighter. Ate hot chili right out the can at 2am. Has anyone else had to scavenge a meal from a random gas station?
I was stuck on a road trip near Flagstaff with just a can of tuna and some random gas station snacks. Threw in crushed BBQ chips instead of crackers and it was actually good. Anyone else try weird mix-ins with their canned stuff?
