s/o Canned Veggies

[Zinnia]

Artichoke hearts are better (to me) canned than frozen.  Go figure.  And I don't have the patience to have them fresh more than like once a year.

I was raised on store-bought canned food, and that is the reason I choose not to inflict it on my kid.  My dh was raised on fresh or home canned / home frozen.  We stick to that.

I just read that. Backpedaling aside, it was a little harsh.

 

 

I don't think it was harsh, nor any backpedaling necessary.  This thread is asking a simple question and offering a simple poll and opportunity to explain your answer or not.   I think it's ridiculous that people get butthurt over anyone else's disagreement with them or critique of something they like or do.  Everyone is entitled to their opinions and their preferences and should be able to express those opinions and preferences in a conversation online without being finger-wagged.

I avoid canned food when I can because of BPA concerns, I don't particularly dislike it.

 

Fresh from the garden is my favorite way to eat produce, but that works for half a year at best. Frozen, freeze-dried, home-canned, and dehydrated all come in ahead of factory canned in my preferences, canned beans being an exception.

I chose "other" as a type because we also eat fermented live culture veggies.

I'm a little slow here... there's BPA in canned foods? I thought they were in aluminum cans and that BPA was from heated plastic.

Many aluminium cans are lined with plastic.  I don't know enough about the subject to say whether there is any leaching into the food.

I use tinned tomatoes, corn and beans/pulses (not green beans). I don't like mushy veg.

We do canned tomatoes since neither dh or I like tomatoes on their own and I only get them to use in sauce or chili or soup or something. 

 

I don't like raw tomatoes either (by themselves).  I thought I was pretty much alone in that, so it's nice to know there are others of us out there!  The rest of my family members love them, so we grow plenty each year.  I freeze the extras to use in sauces, etc, but before I found out that one can freeze tomatoes we mainly did canned ones off season.

I only use canned tomatoes regularly, and canned sliced beetroot (only on hamburgers).

 

Pretty much the only thing I know about Australia and New Zealand is the beets-on-burgers thing. I still can't wrap my mind around it.

  People can express their opinions without putting down other people's likes and dislikes.   It's not that hard to do.
