Do you buy much tinned food?

Thanks Aely, That makes sense.

tinned tomatoes, beans of several kinds, including baked beans, evaporated milk (used manily in cooking as a substitute for cream), spaghetti in tomato sauce, fruit, soup, fish (pilchards, mackerel, sardines, tuna), coconut milk, tomato paste in tiny one portion tins, and no doubt other items. I have a whole shelf of timmed food.

Just looked in the larder cupboard

Spaghetti hoops (GC)
Tomatoes
Sweetcorn
Coconut Milk
Tuna
Pineapple rounds.
One can tomato soup (winter emergency food)

I buy some tinned food that will stretch my weekly shop out till it is next due i.e. tinned fruit/veg/fish.

I always have baked beans, chopped tomatoes and sweetcorn. Sometimes tuna.

Like others, I like to keep a small stock of canned food such as tuna, beans, sweetcorn and mixed veg.

Living alone I can’t be bothered to cook so find it useful to have something in so I can make a quick meal.

I have never seen kimchi and other fermented foods in tins!
Doesn't that stop them being "live" ?

I have had tinned olives occasionally which I'd forgotten about...

Beans, baked beans tomatoes, Heinz tomato soup, chickpeas, coconut milk and condensed milk, potatoes (never used to, but they’re great spiced up in an airfryer.) Spam, Corned Beef, pilchards, tuna and salmon. I don’t buy them every week, but they’re useful to have in. Tinned foods have the other advantage that you can recycle the tins.
I’ve started buying fresh orange juice in plastic bottles since I discovered the wax cartons aren’t recyclable.

Very similar to everyone else but also my guilty secret, Fray Bentos pies

I found a tin of garden peas yesterday at the back of the cupboard. The date was 2 years ago but they were really nice and reminded me of how we always used to have them.

Always have a supply of tomatoes, beans chickpeas tuna apricots prunes and pineapple. I remember when we were first married, working long shifts, no freezer I often opened a can of cooked minced beef, added Smash and tinned peas and thought it a very nice meal !!

Have a stock of legumes and tuna/sardines etc -Also Sainsbury’s tinned apricots are good and Aldi tinned cherry tomatoes are on a par with Mutti

baked beans ordinary and 5 beans but supermarket brand
tinned peaches and fruit cocktail plus if i can get it the tropical fruit cocktail
tinned grapefruit and pears for hubby
i also buy lots of chick peas and similar
Hubby also likes tinned meat meals like curry stews etc. i am vegan so do not eat these. used to buy frozen but they take 45 mins to cook so waste of oven use. if he wants one of these he can quickly pop in microwave in a dish
tinned milk evaporated either as a standby if out of milk or to have on fruit
rice puds custard semolina etc

Butter beans, haricot beans, tomatoes, soup ( standby), mushy peas.

I know this isn't the question but frozen mixed fruit is very nice and cheap too.

It may be the answer though. Has frozen food usurped tinned?

Just the usual stock of soups, beans of various sorts, tuna, broad beans, coconut milk, tomatoes, a couple of tins of pineapple rings and one or two other fruits. We keep the stock up in case of emergencies and revolve them to keep the dates up. The soups only ever get used when I have the flu and can't eat anything

We used to keep some Fray Bentos pies too, but they have got so small we don't bother anymore

Baked beans, kidney and butter beans, tomatoes, an occasional tin of corned beef or pineapple slices (to go on dh’s gammon steak), occasional tins of black cherries for a clafoutis, sweetcorn now and then, for Gdcs’ egg fried rice (not keen on sweetcorn myself), the odd tin of condensed mushroom soup for a tuna/pasta dish - can’t think of anything else.

Coconut milk! Used some the other day for pumpkin soup.

Forgot those, too! About twice a year, when I really just CBA to cook, we have one each with frozen peas.

Tinned tomatoes, various beans, tuna, coconut milk, pineapple and peaches. I always keep a stock of these.
I occasionally buy sardines, mushy peas, rice pudding and soup.

Various tinned beans, mushy peas, evaporated milk and red salmon, occasional consomme or tomatoes for cooking.

Tuna (in summer), sweetcorn, & tomatoes - plus all varieties of pulses; I can't eat tinned baked beans or soup as it's impossible to find either without garlic or leeks (both of which make me extremely ill) hidden in them, so we make both from scratch & freeze in single portions.

Only Spanish albacore white tuna in extra virgin olive oil from CUCA brand and on occasion Baby Sardines in Extra virgin olive oil - same brand Cuca ..

Otherwise I prefer fresh seasonal fruits, vegetables and seasonal fish ..

Beans: I buy Mario Iglesias Franco lentils in a linen bag:

Gomecello, Salamanca

I also buy Garbanzos in linen bags ..

I always have one or two tins of M&S tinned Ham for emergencies.

Yes, I love tinned food. As well as the usual staples mentioned above, I like Baxter’s Chicken Broth which is lovely for cold days and a bit Eastern European. I also love tinned mackerel which is not strong tasting at all and has the highest amount of calcium pretty much that you can get in a food (I get the ones in olive oil). I also stock up when I’m in France on their tinned “baked beans” which are larger than our standard ones and cooked in a much milder tomato sauce - specifically I get the ones in Casino and Monoprix that are cooked in goose fat (just be careful when buying French baked beans if you are vegetarian or vegan!! that you don’t get these!) because they are delicious and literally melt in the mouth. Finally, the condensed chicken soup which is good for various recipes.
