[Guest guest]

I will use the canned creamed corn in corn fritters and also when I make my

potato corn chowder.

I also use canned beans as I don't always have time to start with dried

beans. I also keep vegetarian refried beans in the cabinet.

Yes, there is a canned veggie for everyone. Mine are canned blackeyed

peas ( " fresh-shelled " preferred, but I'll do with " cooked from dry " blackeyes

as well), and canned cooked hominy. I have purchased dried hominy and have

used it a couple of times--it's okay, but

I'm mostly used to opening up a can of white or yellow hominy.

 

Oh yes, and I like canned " butterbeans " Oh yes, and I like canned

" butterbeans " <WBR>, mostly because I ca We have " large lima beans " dried, but

not

the big, starchy (almost remind me of potatoes!) butter-beans.

 

One of my favorite ways to eat these canned vegetables is to mix them

together. I have had (canned) blackeyed peas and (canned) hominy mixed

together many times. Come to think of it, I think that mixing butter-beans in

with these other 2 would also be really good!

I usually add some sauteed onion and a bit of hickory-smoke flavored salt

(or liquid smoke and seasoned salt) to these mixed-together foods. If

there is a GOOD " hickory smoke " or

smoky-sweet flavored vegetarian " sausage " , " ham " or " bacon " -flavored food

product, I'd say that might be good chopped up and stirred in with it, too.

 

 

Anyway, I think the combination of flavors and textures of these

2--blackeyed peas and hominy is interesting and tasty together.

 

Peace and blessings!

I buy and use beans, tomatoes, corn, mushrooms, olives, and sauerkraut.

Mushrooms can be slimy this way but they're good for casseroles (cheaper

and

easier than fresh). I always rinse beans and corn thoroughly because of all

of the salt in them. Green Giant brand now has a corn option " no added

salt "

-- I got that last time instead of the generic brand.

 

My mom and sister LOVE canned asparagus, but I just can't stand it,

especially after acquiring a taste for fresh, steamed asparagus, mmm....! I

never liked canned green beans (tried to hide them under my plate, in my

milk glass, etc - because the dog wouldn't even eat them) and still don't,

though I'll eat them if I have to. I was never subjected to canned spinach,

so I don't know what to think about that!

 

I love canned apricots and mandarin oranges, too. Had too much of peaches

and pears growing up.
