I don't mind them but... I actually prefer the canned. Everyone in this
family does so... Yep. We're also big on black olives. I'll eat most
other kinds and husband will have some but black is the big winner.

When I was in the hospital, someone who came in through the garage commented
on my stockpile and told my mom that we had better get to eating those
vegetables that were out there. I told my mom that what was there at that
moment was nothing! I felt slightly panicky as we were running low on the
green beans. But for the most part, while I was out of commission, we ate
salad instead of beans. I could get salad items delivered for about the
same price as the regular grocery store but the canned beans were more
expensive than what I like to pay. The olives were a tad more to get
delivered but... We've got to have the olives! Salad is no fun with no
olives!
