Just saying. Can vegetables suck.

What if I can my own tomatoes? Home canned tomatoes > everything else.

canned vegetables usually have BHT in them, right? Or some preservative that isn't good in concentrated amounts?

lol no. canning IS the preservative...

That's a shitload of effort and for what? I doubt they taste better than canned San Marzano tomatoes.

Canned corn is an invention of the devil. I love corn, and only eat it frozen or fresh. I can open a bag of frozen corn and eat it straight-up, like candy.

I bought my friend a corn on the cob from a Mexican booth at the state fair yesterday, and it tasted like canned corn. How do you fuc* up corn on the cob? The ingredients and recipe are an ear of corn plus boiling water! Canned corn on the cob. A goddamn travesty.

I haven't eaten canned or frozen veggies since I moved out of my mom's place eight years ago. Whole veggies for life.

Why can't I buy fresh cranberries in the City of Houston? I'm a grocery shopping elitist and never see them. Fresh cranberries are only on the market for 3 months out of the year. November - January.

You can buy frozen cranberries year-round as well as dried cranberries.

:why:

Because they are only in season around that time of the year and are not grown in the southern hemisphere, I would guess.

The biggest problem with canned is that the canning seems to give a lot of things a distinctive taste.

Tomatoes (but only really good ones) are about the only thing I can deal with canned.

Good deal. Thanks for replying.

I am surprised there are people who buy canned vegetables.

Re: cranberry talk.

Fresh cranberries are back in-season! Seems like they're a few weeks early this year. Usually they're out in in November for Thanksgiving.

So good.gif

Canned stuff is usually slightly cheaper then frozen veggies, and that can make all the difference if you're on a desperate budget (but don't want to eat ramen).

What I like to do with frozen veggies is throw them in the microwave for 3-5 minutes, depending on what it is. As they're in the microwave, melt some butter in a pan on low-med heat. When the veggies are done in the microwave, toss them in the buttered up pan for a few minutes. Season to taste. Fucking delicious. I've been doing it with Trader Joes green beans lately.
