to ask who actually buys tinned veg??

[catinboots]

yada yada yada. I've seen the debates on here on fresh over frozen. I get that. But who the rubbery-fuck buys tinned veg??

Was strolling around the Co-Op today and clocked a a shelf of tinned peas/carrots/potatos.

Who the fuck would eat tinned peas?? The colour is so very wrong. I can't begin to imagine what the texture is like

tinned pulses are acceptable
i can't eat the rest though.

Tinned spinach?
What is that like?
I love spinach, raw and cooked, but I imagine tinned to be unbearably soggy.

WELL FUCK ME SIDEWAYS.

I was being unreasonable. Tinned veg is the way forward.

I stand corrected. And excited about my tinned and curries veg

Tinned sweetcorn is lovely.

Tinned new potatoes are revolting, take me back to my childhood and it's not a good memory.

Tinned mushy peas are the business.

Our crap camping meals consist of tinned chicken in sauce with a tin of sweetcorn and packet couscous. Nothing would convince me to resort to tinned potatoes!

Tinned spinach needs a lot of draining - I wouldn't serve it as a side dish, but I chuck it in curries so doesn't taste any different from chucking it in from fresh (plus it doesn't matter if a little of the water is left behind).

Well what the fuck about tinned stew? I saw that in the Co-Op too..

Could I pass it off as homemade to DH??

i buy them sometimes, definitely sweetcorn. Niblets ftw

you could only pass it off as homemade if you are a really bad cook with a salt fetish.

I am soooo not a food snob of any description - i give my DD fruitshoots and im partial to a Muckdonalds but tinned veg - no no no no no no NO!!!!

It brings back boakful memories of my mother's diabolical cooking.

Tinned minced beef, tinned carrots and tinned peas

Fuck, i feel sick just thinking about it - and she was one of those mothers that thinks parenting is judged on how much food your child eats

Saying that i do have tinned chick peas, but they dont count

Tinned - tomatoes, beans, corn, potatoes (only used in quick curry), loved tinned baby carrots cold out of the tin, peas (mushy, marrowfat, processed)

Can't stand tinned mushrooms - bleurgh.

Can't stand frozen peas & carrots - bleurgh. Anything else is 'ok' if in a dish, but not served as a stand alone vegetable - though I suffer politely through them if at someone else's house, I do have manners!! :)

I've never heard of tinned potatoes or tomatoes. I buy tinned sweetcorn to pad out tuna sometimes.

TBH cat tinned meat products are not great... Quite salty but mix them with tinned veg and IMHO they are quite palatable.... !!!!
And I love Sainsburys tinned new potatoes ....

oh yeah, tinned sweetcorn is nice

i like some tinned veg & i don't care what judgey types think :)

Oops, or tinned carrots! I have heard of tinned tomatoes. I use them a lot . I think they are tinned fruit though.

you've never heard of tinned tomatoes seriously?

catinboots - how jolly reasonable of you

you have never heard of tinned tomatos? really??

x-post that makes more sense.

I stocked up on tinned fruit today - I forget how cheap it is compared to fresh.

Tinned fruit? lol that reminds me of del boy serving up mandarins and evaporarted milkd at his posh dinner party :)

mamalovesmojitos - where do you live, outside the UK?

Tinned fruit is lovely.... I love tinned peaches, tinned pineapple, fruit cocktail with those dodgy cherries....after 'one pot stew' as described earlier we always have tinned fruit salad with cold carton custard....!
(PS I can cook too!!!)

I use tinned tomatoes, perfect for pasta sauces, etc.

Tinned sweetcorn sometimes (the creamed stuff) and tinned beans, eg red kidney beans, butter beans, borlotti beans, etc, as they're about as good as buying and soaking dried beans, but much quicker to use.

Where do we stand on pies that need to be opened with a tin-opener??

Yep. I've seen them too. For real. In the same Co-Op..............
