Canned Vegetable Confessions

[FistFullaRoux]

I'm a Trappey's fan for beans. Blue Runner makes good beans as well. Other than that, my only regular purchase is the Green Giant niblets. Love those things.

And I do the occasional asparagus from a can. Only after being refrigerated, though...

LeSueur Early June Peas. At one time the can said 'petite pois' but no longer. This one is a holdover from my childhood.

I do miss Goya products.  I found some in a Chinese wholesale market over here, in the American import section.  No beans, though. 

I will be happy to mail you some cans of Goya beans! Please email or PM me if you would like me to... No reason for you to do without something that you miss which is so easy to get here!

I do understand the appeal of something like that which is a carry-over from childhood. It's like it's not necessarily peas, but a food unto itself.

I do recall a recipe from my ex-MIL years ago that is about the only use of canned peas that I can remember being good. She insisted on Green Giant brand. I always found this interesting because she was not a big fan of canned vegetables.

She would drain and rinse the peas. Then, some minced garlic was sauteed in a big dollop of butter. The peas were added with a little chicken stock and a fairly generous amount of oregano. After they were heated, she would smash a few peas to thicken the "sauce". It was really good. I haven't thought of that in years.
