Tales from the dump: Plucky canned chicken a crowd-pleaser at camp

Canned chicken. The first time I encountered a canned chick was while working out on the tundra. I had never even seen or heard of a canned chicken before. I was holding, a can of canned chicken in my hand. It was the first time I had ever seen or heard of such a thing.
