Canned Cheeseburger for German Backpackers

By Rocky Thompson on January 31st, 2008

I know it looks fake, and a small part of me wishes it was just a lame joke, but Katadyn is selling this Trekking Mahlzeiten Canned Hamburger. It comes with the bun and all the fixings—and it’s the most futuristic food I’ve ever seen in my life. It looks like something you would eat at Space Camp.

You know how food tastes better on the trail? Well, this would be a letdown no matter how far you hiked during the day. The burger sells for about $5.

   I’d try one if I could find it in the US. I’m afraid I’m not going to pay for shipping from Europe for canned meat though.

   Canned food never seemed to backpack friendly, so this either intended for stoned out car campers, or gold-rush miners from the early 1900’s. I’m guessing you toss the whole can in the fire to get that reheated Slider effect…..yum.

   Sounds McYummy. It cant be much worse than whatever the hamburgers at the golden arches are made of.

   Not German, Swiss! I’ll wait until it becomes available here in the US
