Chicken & Crackers German Style

My children love chicken and crackers.  That would be canned chicken mixed with a little mayonaise and mustard with a sprinkle of pepper.  I know it doesn't sound like much but my kids take it to school at least once a week.  They put a little chicken salad on their cracker and eat it up.  When we got here I told them not to worry that Carrie said she saw canned chicken.  I know you are probably saying that I should just make it fresh and I too had that very idea.  I seasoned and cooked a perfect chicken breast, chopped in up finely mixed it with mayo, mustard and pepper and..........they wouldn't eat it.  "Tastes funny mom."  Whatever!  So I venture to the store that Carrie said she found the "chicken in a can" with the intent of being mommy of the year and making my children chicken and crackers.  I searched the world of canned meat (and in Germany that's many many cans) and found this can.

I get out my iPhone and type Hahnchenfleisch into iTranslate to make sure that it's chicken and the translation comes back as Hahnchenfleisch, but there is a picture of a rooster which is a male chicken so this has got to be it.  I skip to the register with two cans of Hahnchenfleish.  Can't pronounce it but can hardly wait to eat it.  I put all the groceries away, get a bowl out, mayo, mustard and crackers.  I tell Brittany that I FOUND IT!  Chicken and crackers will be ready in 5 minutes.  I get the can opener, open the can, turn it over to pour out the broth that is in the can and nothing comes out.  At this point I'm thinking that this is not a good sign.  Still decide to move forward and I take the lid off to find this:

WHAT is that?  What is the gelatinous substance around the outside of the...dare I say chicken.  Maybe it really is rooster and since I always buy chicken I just didn't know that canned rooster looks like regurgitated spam.  Well I guess there will be no chicken and crackers while in Germany.  Can I live off Pringles and gummy bears for 2 years?  Only time will tell.
