CANNED CHICKEN.
After speeding £20,000 on research and machinery, Mr. W. R. C. Ashby, of Iglitham (Kent), has succeeded in canning roast chicken. It is expected that 2,000,000 canned roast chickens will be marketed next year—some in America, where many similar experiments have failed. Mr. Asliby told the "Sunday Express": "I tried method after method. First, ordinary roasting. That simply produced a skeleton and flesh at the bottom of the can. I tried grilling. No good! Then I tried cooking at 1200deg. Fahrenheit. The birds came out covered with black blistere. I went on, using thousands of chickens and spending £20,000 before I found that by introducing a tasteless vegetable medium, which , afterwards evaporated, I had achieved my ambition. Sometimes fumes were generated from tlio vegetable medium. Then the. machinery had to b© stopped and cleaned—at £50 a time. More research, until I discovered the cause and removed it."
