Frozen vegetables

Oh no, done it again...

I like the flavour, whether fresh or frozen, Lona, though not everyone would. I also buy a big bag of carrots, chop or slice, blanche and freeze them in small bags.
Was it in reality or in the West Wing when and American president got into trouble with broccoli producers when he confessed to not liking it?

daily basis Nonu ?!!!! Does Mr Nonu have them as well?

Ooooh!

I need to shop for a week if possible. This is because I live in the countryside and because I have better uses for my time. I buy frozen peas. I freeze my own ratatouille. Each time I try some of the vegetables that have been frozen from fresh and suggested here, I am disappointed.

Does it (frozen broc) have much flavour anno? I'm not too impressed with fresh broccoli.

Brussels sprouts, frozen or fresh - can't stand them! However, I find frozen broccoli to be good value. As I live alone, I can't use fresh broccoli up quickly enough and it goes yellow in the fridge. Frozen, I can use as much or as little as I need.

Hate frozen sprouts, but then I really don't care much for sprouts full stop. There are so many more interesting vegetables.

I also love frozen Brussels , yummy .

Have them on a daily basis in the Winter !!

I love frozen baby sprouts, and they aren't mushy at all.
In fact I haven't had any for ages, so I must buy some this week.

Runner beans are my favourite veg, but not if they are frozen. I also enjoy fresh brussels - remember in my youth buying a big bag of these and religiously standing for an hour or more preparing them for freezing. Never again! I like the stew-pack of frozen vegetables, I can use just enough for the one meal, or double if I want to freeze down a cooked one.and they make good soups.

*henetha - I came here to mention the utter yucky quality of frozen Brussels sprouts - and you beat me to it. And they are so nice when fresh, too...

Both frozen and fresh veg have their place, I think. Frozen are really useful and I am convinced Jamie is right when he says they are fresher, - but
sometimes it's lovely to cook a nice new cauliflower, or whatever.
And frozen sprouts are horrible so I always buy fresh.

That's going back a bit! I think all the fibre gets taken out when it is made into cornflakes or cornflour etc - unlike, say wheat that has some protein in it. But hens can live off it.
Popcorn a genius way to make money out of a small amount of very cheap ingredient isn't it.

Popcorn keeps GC quiet at the cinema, but I detest the smell of it!

Yes it is.

Popcorn's nice!

Corn is the least valuable of the cereals.

My Dr Spock book said so.

Cornflour is made from maize as well.
re it going through undigested penstemmon - if you have watched the wonderful DVD Flushed Away with GKds as many times as I have you may have noticed that one of the jokes for grownups in the background relates to this. In the scene where it is in the rat town square in the sewers one of the stalls is selling sweetcorn!
I think it is good for you if you chew it!

Cornflakes, Penstemmon?

Is maize a cereal? I suppose it must be..I always think of wheat, barley ad oats etc as a cereal. I enjoy maize as corn on the cob and corn fritters. Not so keen on polenta though! Often add maize kernals to savoury rice dishes and the kids love it as a veg!

Most mums of very small children would suggest that sweet corn have no real nutritional value at all given the way in which they pass though the body unchanged.

Don't want that! (don't need that! )

Plenty of fibre though, jingle

It tastes good when it has butter added. Are we sure it's not the butter that tastes good?

I still can't accept it as a vegetable. A vegetable should have some vitamin C. I think there are likely to be only traces of vitamins in sweetcorn.
