Tinned veg
Which do you buy/will you eat, and which won't you?
Carrots - no peas - I only buy mushy peas but will eat them all if served them potatoes - only as a stock cupboard emergency item, & will only eat them fried in seasoned flour! sweetcorn - yes mixed veg - no beans & pulses - yes mushrooms - no asparagus - no tomatoes - yes, but only chopped ones for spag bol etc. spinach - never tried it tinned fried onions - never tried them, wouldn't want to Ratatouille - cant stand it! |

Yes to: chopped tinned tomatoes, sweetcorn, kidney beans, and other pulses, mushy peas (occasionally)
No to everything else I have some tiny broad beans (the size of petit pois) from Spain still in my cupboard and they are delicious as tapas, - hamon et habas but not broad beans from UK as I prefer them fresh |

Tinned mushrooms are totally fabulous in stews. They seem to have a fuller flavour and keep their shape better too. Fresh mushrooms for stroganoff and cooked breakfast though.
I also use tinned beans and tomatoes. |

OK, here's mine -
Carrots - No Peas - Tesco Petit Pois or Sainsbury's Garden Peas only. Potatoes - Only if they have the skin left on. Sweetcorn - Yes Mixed Veg - No Beans & Pulses - Occasionally. Mushrooms - Never - something's aren't meant to be tinned. Asparagus - Never tried it, too expensive. Tomatoes - No - I don't like tomatoes like that. I'll buy tinned Tomato Puree though. Spinach - No - I'm allergic. Fried Onions - Tried once. Convenient, but a bit greasy. Ratatouille - Tried once or twice, didn't really like it. |

Various beans - butter, kidney, borlotti, haricot and baked. Chick peas, mushrooms, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, mushy peas, marrowfat peas, beansprouts and tomatoes of course.
Tinned asparagus is a bit overcooked by the time its been warmed up. I used to like tinned potatoes many years ago, but they taste funny these days, even if you put mint sauce on them. |

None, about the only things I get in tins are beans, chopped tomatoes and tuna. Its either all fresh or frozen veg in our house.

I always think that anything other than tinned sweetcorn tastes soggy and plastic. Can't see the appeal at all.

Tinned spinach is horrendous, IMO. Tinned tomatoes, chick peas, kidney beans etc are fine, as are mushy peas. Sharwoods creamed mushrooms are fine with baked potatoes or noodles.

Years ago when I was student, my idea of fine dining was to empty a tin of a stewed steak, a tin of new potatoes and a tin of baked beans all into a saucepan and heat it up.
