Do you buy much tinned food?

Definitely beans. There was a trend, some years ago, when you cooked your own beans. Made our kitchen wall paper peel off.

For many years I seldom bought canned goods apart from tinned tomatoes for pasta sauces and coconut milk for Thai food .
Since covid and due to a local shop closing-I've stocked up on all sorts of canned goods for emergencies .
Over the last two years my health has been compromised at times and I don't always get to the shops .
So I've relied on them .
I tend to buy :
Tomato soup - the only one that I like.
Tinned salmon
Ham
Corned beef
Pies
Any vegetables
Any fruit
Custard
Rice pudding
And a spare can opener !

DH loves tinned custard, otherwise I buy pretty much the same as most other people on here - tomatoes, chickpeas, various beans, coconut milk plus condensed milk for making ice cream for DGC. I usually make my own soup but these days would buy fresh soup in a carton if I couldn't be bothered to make some.

I forgot chickpeas and beans though not baked beans - I hate them !

I buy Lentils, White Beans, Sardines, Tomatoes, Chickpeas and some Confits Canard plus a few soups. I make sure they are pull rings but in some cases this is not possible. I do have a preppers stock of them as well as using them occasionally.

I keep a good store cupboard which includes plenty of tinned goods, many of the items mentioned by others. I also love proper tinned petit pois when I can get them. They must include sugar otherwise they are just tinned peas!

I have bought tinned petits pois in France, when the supermarket was out of frozen peas - I was cooking for around 10 children! They’re perfectly OK - I brought a couple of leftover tins home, to add to e.g a veg soup.

I’ve just been through all my tins, jars and packets 🙄

In the new year and beyond I hope to behave myself with purchases as I often end up either forgetting what I bought a particular item for or not bothering to make it.

We 'inherited' a load of tins when we cleaned out my late inlaws' house. They had quite the stash. I've just used one of the last of the tins - mushrooms - in a chicken and pesto pasta bake.

Heinz spaghetti, baked beans, ravioli, soups. Tinned plum & chopped tomatoes, tuna, sardines, salmon, kidney beans, butter beans, sweetcorn, bicarbonate of soda, tinned fruit, mushy peas.

I'm always buying tins of

Fray Bentos Meat Balls
Heinz Macaroni Cheese
Peas
Ambrosia Creamed Rice
Carnation Evaporated Milk

But no other tins!

EVE Some peaches vling tightly to the stone.

Branston baked beans, lentils and other beans of various types, tuna, Mutti chopped tomatoes. Also black cherries and Ambrosia chocolate custard as ingredients for the black cherry trifle I make for family ‘dos’. At the moment there’s a tin of jackfruit which I must remember to give back to my DIL. left over from a meal she cooked for us. (Not a fan of jackfruit!)
