I love this group. It is always interesting seeing what people like to
eat, or in this case, are willing to eat.
Quoted message said:Canned cream soups
I'd rather eat cold cream.
Quoted message said:Spinach
It doesn't matter whether it is cold or not, canned spinach will never
pass my lips.
Quoted message said:Cut green beans
Works OK for me.
Quoted message said:Asparagus spears
I've never tried it. I'm sure I would like it, but this stuff costs
money. If I'm going to buy it, I'll get the fresh and cook it.
Quoted message said:Baby corns
Good idea.
Quoted message said:Black Olives
Heaven on earth. That's a whole meal right there.
Quoted message said:Green Olives
Good, but not a meal. If you have a fridge at work, you might consider
one of those little packages of salami or pepperoni. They keep forever.
Crackers keep forever also. Now, *that's* a meal!
Quoted message said:Any other canned veggie depending on my mood.
Whatever works for you. We don't eat stewed tomatoes. There is just no
use for these things. A couple of times I've gotten desperate and there
are some in the pantry. Dump in bowl and eat. Not bad.
And don't forget the beets, especially pickled beets.

Not my favorite, but it works. I was in college, and met a young lady.
I went to her house. She lived with her parents. I'm invited to
dinner. Sounds good to me. We're in the kitchen, and mom is making
dinner. She has this huge baking sheet, and it has a ton of chicken
pieces on it. We never ate chicken when I was a kid. Dad doesn't like
it. I don't like it. Oh well. A few minutes later, the power goes
out. It is an electric stove, so no chicken that night. What a relief!
Mom opens up a canned ham and some baked beans. It was great.
