==Opinion==

I'd never bought canned chicken and dumplings before, but was intrigued to try them as an alternative to the panoply of canned beef stew.   

The best description I can give is:  generic chicken noodle soup, but with insanely oversized noodles and chicken chunks.  Take the ratio of broth to noodles/chicken in the average soup can, and invert the ratio to get chicken and dumplings.

As with canned soups, it was quite salty, but it was still enjoyable to eat.  The individual dumplings were a little bigger than I could fit into my mouth all at once, so time was spent cutting them in half before eating.  I would have prefered to have more chunks of chicken meat than was included.
