Tinned potatoes...

[Firstdateshotel]

I've recently discovered tinned potatoes... Aibu to say they are deeeeelicious????

I put them in the slow cooker when I make stews as they are softer than normal potatoes. Also really handy and nice to have with peas and a tin of stewing steak or chicken in white sauce!

[quote Yellownotblue]I see your tinned potatoes, and I raise you rice in a can! A staple of my childhood. I cringe when I think about it now, but used to love it as a child.

We eat rice pudding from cans, is it much different really?

No. We used to eat a fair bit of tinned veg growing up; I always thought tinned potatoes had a very odd taste...

I love tinned rice pudding. I truly am a child of the 80s 😂.

Tinned fruit cocktail anyone? I'd forgotten about it until I bought some for my lockdown stash (2 weeks of tinned food in case we all had to isolate at the same time) and rediscovered how nice it is.

Yup I buy that too! My youngest loves it.

@Nayday
Haha the good old days - she also took tinned hamburgers in gravy.. I don't even think we visited a French supermarket whilst we we there 😂😂😂😂

Cold tinned rice pudding with milk, mix and eat, oh yummy,

@Yellownotblue there’s a YouTube called atomic shrimp who has a few videos on “weird things in a can” or something similar. I expect some could definitely beat the rice in a can!

I've seen sprouts in a can (in B&M).

Found these online

I absolutely love them - lovely memories of caravan holidays when I was little! See also M&S chicken in white sauce in a tin.

Slothkin me tooooo! In a lay-by on the way to Scotland. Tinned potatoes, tinned chunky chicken and tinned peas. Fabulous!

I love them, eat them straight out of the tin! How minging is that? I do, however, have to rinse them under a running tap first, they are so salty. I think this is my guilty pleasure. That, and pink grapefruit chunks, straight out of the tin.
Sorry.

OH! And Forsyte Pease Pudding! I usually put it in my lamb stew, but actually, (confession) only about half a can goes into the stew. Hence, I always have to buy at least 3 cans of the stuff. Bugger.

As an Irish person, tinned potatoes are an actual racist statement.

Tinned potatoes are brilliant roasted or in a stew. Camping in the 80s meant dinner every night was a big tin of stewed steak, tinned potatoes and baked beans or tinned carrots. One pot over a campfire and just delicious.

Tinned veg are pretty nutritious I think and a very useful thing to have in the cupboard. We also loved tinned peach slices, those little orange segments and tinned rice pudding. We use tinned soup and beans regularly anyway, always been a bit warier of tinned meat (unless camping) but don’t really have a good reason for this.

Racist 🤣

I used to buy them in QuickSave. Not any more.

Actually, Kwiksave

I loved tinned apple puree. They were normal tins the same size as soup cans. Used to have it with tinned Devon custard. Delish.

I would have taken up camping if I'd known the food was this good.

My childhood camping days (months every summer through Europe 60s and 70s) were full of powdered milk. Long life milk and us tinned DInty Moore beef stew. Thank god when we got to Italy and Greece and turkey and ate local food !

Loving this thread and reminiscing about my own childhood camping days with similar offerings. Looked for tinned potatoes and cream today but no luck. I'll try a bigger supermarket tomorrow. My daughter's wondered what an earth I was talking about when I told them what I was trying to find... And someone's just mentioned powdered milk! I remember Marvel from my SW days!

You can't beat most tinned foods. I have a large stock in case that was accumulated over lock down

YAK!!!!!

I adore them. Don't microwave them though, the feckers can explode even AFTER you've taken them out nearly hit me in the eye
