Kalakalle Ham Cock, 182 g, canned

A ham variation of a traditional Finnish delicacy in a canned version, 5 years of shelf life and does not contain cock! This is a perfect snack or trekking food, always ready to eat, and contains enough energy to keep you going and enough high-quality protein to keep you in shape.

Normally called "Fish Cock" because it contains fish inside a rye bread shell, but this version has ham instead. Different, but just as good!

The food is much like a mix of hamburgers and pie, made out of rye bread and filled with high-quality honest-to-god Finnish pork. The funny part is that because of the hermetically sealed tin can, no preservatives are needed, and the ingredients are the superfoods they always tell you you should eat. Because it's healthy AND it tastes good, this food resembles much like a situation where you are enjoying your beer in a bar and a pretty young girl comes up to you and asks if you would like to go to her place for some good times. A deal too good to be true. Except with this food delicacy, there is no hidden cock included.

This really is something as an always-ready-snack or trekking food. It tastes good, and if you are equipped with a knife, you should be able to take the pastry out of the can whole. Looking and tasting at the thing makes it hard to believe it came out of a tin can, as the bread really looks like bread and the whole thing tastes very good.

Foreign people might wonder why the excellent delicacy is called ham cock and, well, it's a wonder for us too, since this kind of food originally comes from Savo, a remote location in the middle of Finland known for inbreeding and incapacity to form sentences that mean anything. The classic fish cock, in Savo, means food and flying fish cock a train. We know, it's weird.

This product is made in Finland. Obviously.

There is a five-year shelf life printed on the can. This is because "you have to put something in there". In real life, well made (duh, it's made in Finland) canned food lasts a way lot longer, and doesn't really turn toxic - if you store this for reaaally long time, taste and energy values do deteriorate, but it's still edible. As it is, ham cock makes for a very good quality emergency food ration. It'd be smart to store these into your car, your boat, cabin, and anywhere you might get stranded in.
