Canned lunchmeat used to be one of the most notorious and cheapest meals one could buy in a store here in Slovakia. No more is this true. Nowaydays it is expensive, distasteful, extremely salty and half of it will dissolve on the frying pan long before the rest becomes edible. And that is when you are lucky.

So, here is the limerick about canned lunchmeat I had today:

In can it is rather stuck,

out difficult it is to pluck.

On frying pan soaking in it’s own fat,

by time it’s ready it covers half the flat.

Why lunchmeat so much has to suck?

Hopefully you liked this short piece of work. If so, you can find my other limericks here:

    Funny. I love canned lunchmeat though. I think it depends on the brand.

    Excellent and good work.

    Haha, I used to love it too, many years ago. Since then, all good brands available around here went from tasty lunchmeat to barely edible sh*t that tastes like cheap brands used to… and the cheap brands nowadays turn into oily soup as soon as you heat them up, they are impossible to fry …

    Btw, one portion of oven roasted/baked chicken legs (homemade of course) with rice-look alike pasta and fresh paprika costed be half what this lunchmeat with bread did since whole can of lunchmeat got reduced to amount that barely filled my stomach once (and made me sick thus I decided to write this limerick) :)

    Best regards,

    I don’t have a problem with canned lumchmeat as I don’t eat meat. Try more of the fresh meat. It’s better for your health.

    They’re filling it with fat nowadays, which just melts away when it hits the pan.
