I cleared out my uncles flat the other day and now have tins of ASDA smartprice veg in the cupboard.
There's also a tin of homepride chicken in white wine sauce. How about a meal of chicken in white wine sauce with a side of tinned marrowfat peas, tinned carrots and tinned new potatoes? |

I make a nice pasta alla puttanesca from mostly tin stuff.
Uses a can of anchovies, a jar of olives, a can of plum tomatoes, some dried chilli flakes, some spaghetti, some dried oregano so yeah it all comes from the storecupbboard but it's very good. It does use garlic but you can even use garlic granules in it. |

Do you think there is anything wrong with the tinned food you have ?
What you planned sounds fine. Just check if veggies are pre-cooked then obviously adjust when you add them to the dish appropriately. |

If you could get a Vesta dried meal, you will get an accurate representation of what students used to eat back in the pre-microwavonic era when all you had to cook on was a single gas ring or electric hob. |

One of my favourite dishes of comfort food is something my dad made up when we were kids, very simple, I've got my husband into it now.
Tin oxtail soup, tin Heinz beans, good dash of Worcestershire sauce or HP, voila. Absolutely delish. |

I remember once, years ago, discovering I had no fresh food in the house so I had a Fray Bentos pie, tinned spuds and marrowfat peas. After that experience I always make damned sure i'm not in that position.

Our kitchen is so small we don't even have a "tin" cupboard.
We may have a few tins of beans and some soup lurking about but other than that there is no tinned goods at all..

I don't think i have ever eaten a meal entirely from tins. I always have tins of tomatos, soup, beans, a couple of cooking sauces and thats about it.

If you could get a Vesta dried meal, you will get an accurate representation of what students used to eat back in the pre-microwavonic era when all you had to cook on was a single gas ring or electric hob. I think there was also tinned fruit and tomato soup so I could get a three course meal out of it

I used to have an emergency quick meal,
something that i always had in that could be cooked in minutes. Tin of Stewing steak in Gravy, tin of new potatoes, peas if i wanted to treat myself,he he. Not the best meal but good enough if you have nothing in that can be cooked quickly and your in a rush to go out early. |

Heinz Big Soup tastes a lot better when you're camping for some reason.

Often is the answer - when we are at the caravan for a weekend we have no refrigeration so dine on tinned and packet foods. Not too bad depending obviously on what we have in stock.
