Canned Meat Reviews

I thought with this thread we could make a central place to post reviews of the various canned meats and be able to find them easier (since I'll make this a sticky). So.... to start it off here's my review of Werling and Sons Canned Beef I have recently purchased some Werling and Sons canned meats and decided to try out the canned beef. I must say I am impressed with it. It is a 14.5oz can (soup size) and on the nutritional info it says it has about 7 servings in the can.... that comes out to roughly 2 ounces per serving which aint a lot of meat. Werling and Sons cook the meat in the can in it's natural juice and seal it right then. I decided to add the meat to a can of 'Simple Suppers Beef Stew Fixins' And this is what it looked like after opening the cans...

I did take a quick taste of the beef by itself and it was good. Here's a shot of the beef, broken up in the pan.
