This is actually really good. Try it when you go camping. It gives the tuna a smoky taste.

As in, using the preserving oil as fuel? I have never tried it but I’ve heard that it’s a common camping thing?

I want to try this, but I can’t bring myself to burn papertowel into my food -.-

It’s mostly for show but adds a slight smokey taste. Not really stupid, just a bit silly.

what do you mean? i don’t know anything about this trend. what is its essence?

I’ve done this while camping. It heats up the fish and gives it a smoky flavor. Fun camp activity and a good snack with crackers.

This is an extremely common camping thing. Doesn’t cook the fish, as usually it’s already been cooked, but warms it up appropriately to be enjoyed

Why not just open the cans and set them right next to a campfire for 20 minutes
Kolojang
Most cans have a plastic liner inside. Heating it up like this is not a great idea.

Gross. You can literally buy smoked tinned fish already. You could add smoked salt or sauce like a normal person if you actually care about flavor. Burnt paper ain’t it.
Worst case you’re melting the plastic lining around the tin. (surprise people! Tin cans are ALL lined with plastic.)

Very stupid. Fits this sub perfectly.
If you don’t think it’s stupid, then it might be you that’s stupid.

I think it’s a good idea if you don’t want to make a campfire

Most cans are lined with bpa or an alternative plastic. Enjoy your melted plastic fish

This is actualy realy tasty but its a thing which is only good when you are in the army (I have learn this when I have served)
When you have 10 min to eat your only meal of the day make it count make it good and quick
In any other situation it is stupid just get some cooking stuff and take 5 more min to do it without microplasics

So many people emotional about something they will never eat. Does it exist, sure, is it stupid, yeah. Does it work? Yep. You don’t have to like it but you don’t have to fight over it either. Things can exist and not be perfect, that’s the point of this sub.

Very normal if you spend time outdoors.
People concerned about ingesting burnt paper are sheltered, paranoid, and a little stupid.

Oh wow. Guerilla tuna. Hadn’t had this since military days. Toilet paper and a can of tuna + some bread. Decent dish when you’ve eaten mush for few days in middle of a damn forest.

Lmao yall don’t spend time outdoors and it shows.
Much like r/crappymusic, I’m starting to realize how fucking stupid some of you are.

I’ve seen this done without paper on tins of tuna in oil. Use a can opener, push the lid down to get the oil on top, light the oil, and pry the lid out with a knife or other utensil when you’re done. Not sure about this method with the pull ring tab cans and paper towel, but hey, if it’s not your cup of tea, you can eat the fish without doing this.

What the hell. Lol, just microwave your fish in the break room like everyone else.

This is how we ate our tuna in the military here in Finland. A bit of paper on top and a lighter.

This is super common camping thing to do (at least with cans with no plastic liner in them).
