Meat in a can

This is a traditional dish where meat (usually lamb, goat or beef) is prepared and roasted inside a closed metal container or barrel, over fire or embers.

Mishi në bidon is a traditional Albanian preserved meat specialty associated with mountain pastoral communities, especially in southern and southeastern parts of the country. The dish combines slow-cooked meat with rendered fat and stores it in a sealed metal container (bidon), allowing it to keep for extended periods without refrigeration while developing a rich, concentrated flavor.
