Canned Goodies

Canned Tuna is GODLY! Absolutely delicious. So is canned pastas.

Canned pasta is terrible because all the pasta is so soft that it falls apart if you just look at it the wrong way.

Canned tuna is ok, but nowhere near as fantastic as tuna is when used for sushi.

Everything is much worse served out of a can, and there aren't exceptions. Canned tuna and pasta are not exceptions to the "no exceptions" rule.

But canned vegetables are still typically a little better than frozen vegetables, so at least they've got that.

Canned tomatoes are usually better than fresh tomatoes grown up here in norway, actually. Just because our climate isn't very friendly for tomatoes.

OK, I'll concede that point. I should have specified places with the abilities to grow their own crops reasonably well, or the infrastructure to have them shipped fast enough from places that grow it well.

Although I'm surprise you can't just get good Italian tomatoes or something in Norway, it doesn't seem that far to ship them, even if it wouldn't be as good as locally-grown ones in a place that can support them.

We can. I'm just saying. I think they're more expensive though. What I generally do is buy some canned tomatoes and blend them with a few fresh imported tomatoes just to get back a good portion of the nicer taste.

Canned tomato products (tomato paste, tomato puree, etc) and canned Mexican products (picked carrots/jalapeno, refried beans, chiles in adobo, etc) are really the only things I ever use in cooking that comes in cans.

Spaghettios are the only canned pasta I will eat.

I'll eat canned tuna (properly made into a tuna sandwich with mayo and sweet relish), pork and beans, sweet corn and boston baked beans. Also, I'm not very fond of canned soups but I looove Campbell's bean and bacon and I'm okay with chicken noodle.

I really like fresh stuff.......but I use canned tomatoes (but canned products aren't supposed to be as good for you). Sometimes tuna too because I don't really like fresh fish.

Canned products are just heated and cooled and heated. They're not any less good for you than the fresh tomatoes you could use in a tomato sauce. The taste and texture isn't as nice, of course, but that's a different matter.

Canned tuna is good imo, if you add a lot of mayonnaise.
One thing I know exists but I've never seen is canned burgers3973507445_372f9bd131.jpg.
Can someone confirm it tastes like trout ?

My dad eats canned ravioli. And canned sardines. Gag me.

I use whole canned tomatoes for macaroni & tomatoes.

And I use canned tomato sauce & paste for spaghetti.

My daughter and I will split a can of soup sometimes.

I used canned tomato sauce, tomato paste in spaghetti.

I also use canned beans with rice and tacos.

That's about it.

There's a difference in the canned foods you buy and the canned foods you make, imho.

Also, I used to love Chef Boyardee ravioli and now I hate them. I don't each much out of a can besides quick vegetables, tuna and soup.

And Vienna Sausages.

Mackerel in tomato sauce. Gorgeous.
