Do you make your canned/instant meals fancier? (By adding veggies or meat or cooking it etc)

    I am by my lonesome once more in this desolate house. Only the gloomy shine of the afternoon sun keeping me company. And thus, the lazy in me decided to open canned fish for a meal. Rice already cooked anyway. It has those easy open can format. Just pull and it opens... Except, when i was pulling and already halfway, it became a little difficult... I was worried I'd pull too hard and the fish would go earn some wings and fly away. This was quite the opposite experience as yesterday's canned food (Spam). Pulling that one is way easier than this one *sigh*

    Use your chopstick and apply the principle of a lever on the tab. This way you can keep the can firmly on the counter while you slowly pry it apart.

    That's a nice idea, I might try it someday. I think we got some spare chopsticks somewhere.

    In my case its messy if try to remove it all. There are sauce in the breakaway portion and when suceed in pulling it all away the sauce is catapulted.

    This type of easy to open can sardines (the lid is not that clean in reality)

    Well, I have problems with pulling it half-way with this can. One, It's more of fish slices so 3 slices of almost can-sized fish. Two, I really really dislike how half-opened canned looks like xD. I feel bothered unless a can lid is removed all the way :notlikeblob:

    It's mean to be used as an alternative, especially in survival mode where you don't have tools :blob_grin::blobpopcorn: bit of dust is fine as long you survive Zombie Outbreak.:blobhero:
