Tinned food

Whitewavemark2

Liz truss is telling us that tinned fruit and veg are daisy fesh at the time of being tinned so we must start to get used to tinned fruit and custard like after the war.Mmmmm.Brexit soooo much to love.

She is right, tinned fruit has more nutrients than fresh stuff sitting on shelves for weeks at a time,Programme on Channel 5 with Sian Williams Secrets of Your Supermarket Food, also cheaper for people on low incomes. Have always had tinned food in the cupboard, even during EU membership, and am still getting fresh stuff, if no British equivalent available, from Holland, Poland and Spain. The shortage of tinned tomatoes will be due to China (again) buying up global steel supplies. Just in case you wanted to blame Brexit for that too.

We just ate the tin of corned beef in a hash.

Now, if we're short of food in a month's time I shall wonder if I did the right thing or should have hoarded it!

Tins in my cupboard:
baked beans, chopped tomatoes, pears, custard, rice pudding, tuna, soups, salmon, sweetcorn.

About the same as everyone else.
Someone we knew in France was renovating an old farmhouse and found a stache of tinned foods . Not sure what date but at least WW2.
They decided to risk it and found a tin of perfectly preserved french runner beans.

I grew up think that cucumber was square.
It was the way my mum peeled and cut it ?
Bless her ❤️

Tomatoes, tuna, baked beans and sardines and a tin of Heinz vegetable soup for quick lunches (but you need to add lots of black pepper) I also have a little glass jar of anchovies, they are good on pizzas and added to lamb joints with garlic.

I rarely open a ton. Occasional beans on toast in the colder months and kidney beans Fairchild. That's it. Tuna comes in fridge pots. Passata in glass jars.

Baked beans.
Soup.
Tuna.
Rice pudding.
Ratatouille.

All the usual staples -
Baked beans
Very small tins of chick peas;
Tomatoes
Condensed soups that I use in cooking;
Corned beef (like Kitty said - the husband’s!);
Red kidney beans;
D’aucy mixed vegetables which I add to cheese and potato pie;
Tuna;
Tinned red salmon;
John West Sild in tomato sauce (mine);
Tinned pineapple rings, and mandarin oranges;
Processed peas (don’t ask!).

Tinned fish, tomatoes, coconut cream, corned beef (no added sugar). That’s about it for me.

I have a few tins but have had to throw some out as they were well past their use-by date (like 5 yrs and up) . If I have anything conserved it is just as likely to be in a jar.

DH is allergic to tomatoes, and can only eat them if sieved and cooked. I use cartons of strained tomatoes, the smallest possible, and freeze leftovers for sauces, stews and gravies.

So apart from tuna, I have more jars, cartons and frozen food in the store cupboard/freezer.

I use tinned foods quite a lot. I'm particularly keen on tinned fruit.

We have a very useful shelf rack in the garage which was very useful during lockdown. He have most of the things mentioned in previous responses especially tinned fruit in fruit juice and have most of the things mentioned above. I remember my Mum’s pantry and she used to have dried fruit such as prunes and fruit salad which she used to soak overnight and we would have it for dessert with custard. She also used to have a big jar of eggs stored in Isinglass, for some reason eggs used to be cheaper at one time of the year.

Dont keep a lot of tins, just a few fall back items. Always like to have a tin of red salmon, a tin of ham, couple of tins of soup, tin of beans and a tin of custard.

Various beans, tomatoes, baby carrots, anchovies, pilchards, sardines, tuna, salmon: all fish under oil, hate brine. Peaches and cherry's. Great standbys.

We don't buy many tinned foods at all. I currently have -
Baked beans
Various fruits, fruit salad, peaches etc
Rice Pudding
Various soups
Red Salmon
Milk, condensed and evaporated
Dog food

In pre freezer days mother prepared lots of bottled fruit and vegetables from the garden.

As "stock', I always have tinned tomatoes, baked beans, sweetcorn, tuna and coconut milk

I buy other tinned goods if they're needed for a particular recipe.

A well stocked baking shelf with various flours, sugars, dried fruit etc.

A larder shelf with tinned tomatoes, baked beans, kidney beans, green lentils, sweetcorn, tinned fruit salad to use as basis for fresh fruit salad, pineapple

Dry shelf with lentils, various rice, cous cous, muesli, pasta

We don't use a great deal of stuff in tins, other than tomatoes and beans in the colder months when I make a veg chilli.

Just tinned tomatoes and baked beans mainly. I do have a couple of tins of green lentals....must use them. I used to have sweetcorn but find frozen just as good and much cheaper. I am always telling people about drawers for storage. Much better than cupboards. I even had bottom of one taken out and mesh put in to store veg.

oh gosh, WW2 canned goods.. I think the Americans introduced us to canned bacon.. never had any myself though. would love to try some..

but then, back in the day, we didn`t have frozen food, and there we go, or have gone, on another buying track.

I understand that tinned/canned food is more nutritious than frozen, AND it lasts longer, AND no costs in storing..

Go canned foods, go.. ie. let us all pursue the better stuff!(tongue in cheek)

I have loads of tins of assorted fruit, evaporated milk that I whisk with half a jelly then set and corned beef that I have with champ. I don't like beans, which my friends think is really weird, and peas.
