OmManiPadmeOmelet
When rushed and hungry, (generally at work when it's busy), what types
of foods can or do you eat right out of the can, cold?

Canned cream soups
Spinach
Cut green beans
Asparagus spears
Baby corns
Black Olives
Green Olives
Any other canned veggie depending on my mood.

Canned beans are out tho'. Those have GOT to be warmed up!

I can't eat canned creamed soup cold, sorry. That's one reason I really
like those Campbell's Soup at Hand and other quick microwaveable soup
containers. 3 minutes... about the time it takes to make a phone call at
the office. Voila... sip or spoon up lunch.

Those canned Chef Boyardee or HEB raviolis. I think I've warmed
maybe 1 out of the last 10 cans (in 4 years).

Chunky(tm) Sirloin Burger and Campbell's Homestyle(tm) Wedding
soups.

Plastic containers? :-)

I've not looked for those.

Since I don't watch television any more, I don't see some of the "new
and improved" items on the market.

It's been a bit over 3 years since I quit watching anything but news and
weather on the boob tube, and I listen to the radio more.

I have a fondness for canned chick peas, right out of the can, same
with lupini beans. Black/green olives. Of course, tuna. Pineapple slices.
Diced tomatoes with basil type of thing, that I pour over pasta I
cooked, if that counts. I'd consider those canned potatoes.

NO cold soup out of the can.

That's one of the first soups they made in the Chunky line. Tiny
little hamburgers with grill marks on them.

HEB/HCF now makes an identical product. See the "review" at:

I love this group. It is always interesting seeing what people like to
eat, or in this case, are willing to eat.



> Canned cream soups


I'd rather eat cold cream.


> Spinach


It doesn't matter whether it is cold or not, canned spinach will never
pass my lips.


> Cut green beans


Works OK for me.


> 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.


> Baby corns



Good idea.


> Black Olives



Heaven on earth. That's a whole meal right there.


> 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!


> 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.


> Canned beans are out tho'. Those have GOT to be warmed up!


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.

I don't think they are plastic... some sort of morphed microwavable metal

Doesn't get more trailer trash disgusting.... that wallpaper paste is
bad enough reconstituted and heated, but raw, you gotta be kidding.

I'll eat the black olives as a snack... the rest, blech!

> Canned beans are out tho'. Those have GOT to be warmed up!


Canned cold beans are fine if drained and tossed with a salad dressing.

I like canned beets.
I like canned creamed corn.

And naturally any kind of canned fish is a treat... tiny sardines,
kipper snacks, smoked oysters, etc... nice with some saltines but not
really necessary.

And cold Spam .... excellent when you have a mess of those Chinese
take-out condiments... hot mustard and duck sauce go well with Hormel
fillet mignon.

I do like kidney beans on a salad. I imagine you could pour a little salad
dressing on some of those items to make them tastier. What about fruits? I
love pineapple right out of the can.

This thread is flat-out repellent! Gaa!!!

As Patches mentioned earlier, commercially canned foods aren't a happenin'
thing [for me]. I will, however, make an exception for any type of canned
fish; I agree with Sheldon on that point. And as I child, I used to adore
cold canned corned beef on saltines with hot mustard; I seriously doubt I'd
like it these days.

I just can't wrap mind around cold cream soup.

But I like:
English Peas
Hominy
Red kidney beans
niblet corn - especially, Mexicalli corn
Durkee French fried onions
If I were very, very hungry, I could eat beets (boo, hiss)
....Just about any canned veggie that I would toss on a green salad.

One of my favorite, but not canned, foods is raw red potatoes. Sliced in
thin rounds with the peel or unpeeled and cut in quarters.

Give me a little salt and I'm good to go.

Are we having a picnic?

Elaine,too

Cold canned soup & spinach??? SHUDDER!!

Green & Yellow beans, cut, whole or French styled? Bring 'em on.

Canned Asparagus? Is there any way to eat those but cold? I'd rather have
fresh, but since that's only rarely possible around here, I keep a few cans
of spears for when I get a hankering. Then it's the entire can, cold.

Baby corns? stir fries only

Black olives? I'll eat black olives till they come out my ears (I'm built
funny). Side note: When I go to Subway I watch the 2 or 3 people ahead of
me to see what they're ordering on their subs then I tell the person making
mine "Heavy on the black olives. Those last 3 people didn't take any, put
their share on my sandwich, please." Sometimes it works, sometimes it
doesn't. My favorite counter guy used to add the mustard first then use it
to hold the load of olives he'd put on. Ultimately, I paid for those olives
with the extra tip he got.

Chick peas, just rinsed then sprinkled with a bit of Italian dressing. Yum!

Canned tomatoes with lots of freshly cracked pepper.

My main quick canned standby for work lunches is tuna. We have these
little single serve cans of flavoured tunas - tomato and basil, lemon
pepper etc. Those I'll happily eat out of the can, though I usually have
time to toast some bread to put the tuna on.

I can't think of anything normally served hot that I willingly eat cold
from the can..

I do that, too! Not that I buy it very often, but if I do, I figure, why
put it into a bowl? It's just another dish to wash and the only dishwasher

For the love of all that is holy, don't buy that stuff, and if you do,
open the can, dump contents into the garbage disposal and puree.

I bought some tiny Dinty Moore stew containers when I was trying to
coerce Crash into eating after his first surger. They were sorta
styrofoam with a metal edge on top. The metal edge is covered by a
plastic cover with vent holes. BTW, this crap was terrible.

Well, canned fruits are kind of a given. ;-)
Yes I know you can cook with them, but I think most folks just eat
canned fruit cold?

Tuna I will use cold but _never_ by itself. It's got to at least have
crackers and mayo with it. I can't eat it straight. Wish I could!

I prefer fresh steamed or raw baby spinach, but I actually enjoy it
canned. Might just be due to it holding a lot of memories. It's also
handy for quiche's, frittatas and souffle'.

It's actually not all that great.
Not sure why, but to me canned asparagus nearly always has a "scorched"
flavor.

In the can? Normally it should be put on a plate.

I just open the can and grab a fork.

None. It takes all of two minutes to dump a can of food into a bowl and
nuke it. If your job gets so busy that you do not have even two minutes
to prepare something for lunch is the day you should start looking for
another job!

Actually, I just ate two tiny cans of tuna on a pair of english muffins
for lunch today in my office. I bought some oddball brand of tuna from
the Chelsea Market when I was there with Margaret and Sue one day last
spring, I took the cans to work and I promptly forgot about them until
now.

As it happens, I have to pack up all my stuff at work so my office can
be renovated. When I was going through a pile of stuff on one of my
desks, I found those tuna cans, so I ate two today for lunch. I did not
do this due to a lack of time though and the tuna was quite good!

I have some cans of soup that I need to polish off too. I will be damned
if I eat those cans of soup cold. Nothing in my life is so important
that it can't wait a couple of minutes for me to heat up a can of soup.

About the only thing I might eat out of the can would be chilli man
chili.

Usually if I'm in a rush I eat cold cereal.

For cold meals away from home, I tend to go with sandwiches, wraps or
salads along with a couple of pieces of cheese and fresh fruit. Hard
boiled eggs are good too. I have a nice thermos though so I can take
along hot homemade soups if I choose. Personally, I can do quite nicely

For a nice cold summer salad I'll often have iceberg lettuce with tomatoes,
onions, etc. and add chilled canned beans, peas, and corn...the slightly
mooshy textures of the canned stuff contrast nicely with the crisper
ingredients...in fact it's substantial enough to be a whole meal.

Pickled beets are beet pickles, and thus would not often, if ever, be
eaten warm.

Right you are, and I do love pickled beets. I think the closest to
pickled beets that you would eat warm would be harvard beets. I really
like those too.

Amazing, Greg and I agree on something! My summer salads almost always
include some kind of beans: Lima beans, black beans, garbanzo beans, green
beans, or kidney beans are the most favored. I also frequently put peas
into potato salad or pasta salad.

The _Chopstix_ cookbook has the following recipe for "Crunchy Baja Salad"
which I like to augment with a can of kidney beans:

Crunchy Baja Salad

SALAD
3 ears sweet corn, husked
1 avocado
5 ounces jicama
2 vine-ripened tomatoes
1 sweet red pepper
4 cups bite-sized pieces mixed salad greens
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups blue corn tortilla strips

DRESSING
2 tablespoons finely minced ginger
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 bunch chives
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons light soy sauce
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon Sriracha
1/2 teaspoon grated or finely minced orange peel
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

ADVANCE PREPARATION AND SERVING

1. Stand the ears of corn on their ends and cut off the kernels. Seed,
peel, and thinly slice the avocado. Peel the jicama and cut into thin
bite-sized rectangles. Seed the tomatoes, then cut just the outside
sections into 1/2-inch chunks. Seed and stem the pepper, then cut into
1/2-inch cubes. Toss salad greens with the olive oil. Set aside the
tortilla strips.

2. Mince the ginger in a food processor. Add the cilantro and chives and
mince again. Add the remaining dressing ingredients, then process for 20
seconds.

3. Arrange the greens on salad plates (2 as a main course, 4 as a salad
course). Sprinkle the tortilla strips over the greens. In a bowl, place the
corn, avocado, jicama, tomatoes, and peppers; add the dressing and toss.
Spoon onto center of the greens and serve at once.

BOB'S NOTES:

ALEPH) As I mentioned, I like to add a can of kidney beans to this; it goes
into
the bowl with the avocado/corn mixture.

BETH) I only add half the dressing to the mixture in the bowl; I serve the
rest
of the side.

Pickled beets are typically sold in jars (same brand as red pickled
cabbage - Loehmann's?), it's recommended to heat. I think pickled
beets are better heated, but typically I marinate them in the fridge
and they rarely get to the pot.

Once again, Patches and I appear to be simpatico. I used to schlep
hard-boiled eggs, "just peanuts 'n salt" peanut butter," corn cakes, and
fruit with me wherever I went. My job had me chasing back and forth all
over the Bay Area in those days, but stocked with my on-the-go larder, I
never felt in the least temped by fast food. Protein, carbs (which I've
*never* eschewed) and fiber -- with the addition of water and some
unsweetened iced tea, I was always good to go.

That reminds me of what happened when I was a newlywed and my dh's
grandmother gave us a bunch of canned goods. I didn't know the jar of
beets were pickled and dumped them into a pan and heated them as if they
were a vegetable. You could smell them all through the apartment
building....lol....Sharon

We don't buy much in cans. Mixed fruit is about the only thing I'd eat
out of the can.

Hold that thought. If wanting quick and easy, but still heated, take
those stewed, or chopped, canned tomatoes, canned beans (any red,
pinto, white, navy), some chopped onions and herbs if you wish, and
mixed with leftover rice. That can become beans & rice, or jambalaya,
without the hours'-long preparaton those recipes normally call for.
OK, then add some chopped ham or chicken or pork leftovers. OK, I'm
digressing from the thread.
