Like Spam, cheeseburgers-in-a-can, whole chickens-in-a-can, this 12-course meal in a can by designer Chris Godfrey skeeves me out. Even though it’s not an actual product sold in stores (yet!)—it’s Godfrey poking fun at gimmickry in contemporary culture—I wouldn’t be shocked if this caught on and became a… thing. Because…well, this is America, that’s why.
Here’s what the 12-course canned meal consists of:
- Selection of local cheeses with sourdough bread
- Pickled kobe beef with charred strawberry
- Ricotta ravioli with a soft egg yolk
- Shiitake mushroom topped with filled peppers
- Halibut poached in truffle butter in a coconut crepe
- Risotto foraged ramps, prosciutto and fresh parmesan
- French onion soup with fresh thyme and gruyere cheese
- Roast pork belly and celeriac root puree
- Palate cleanser, pear ginger juice
- Rib eye steak with grilled mustard greens
- Crack pie with milk ice cream on a vanilla tuile
- French canele with a malt barley and hazelnut latte
