I like the idea of a whole canned chicken myself. Perfect for a shared meal after a long day of surveying.
Canned chickens have been available for a long time. Sweet Sue Brand, whose canned chicken and dumplings used to be a favorite cave food for Honey Creek, had whole chicken in a can. <http://www.hometownfavorites.com/products.asp?dept=1035&number=HFST701&pagenumber=2> I remember taking those to Mexico. They still have the bones in them, though, so they are not as convenient as boned chicken. Mark Minton
