I've tried the Muir Glen canned tomatoes, they're nice. I live only a
few miles away from actual tomato farms and a tomato processing plant.

I couldn't begin to tell you which brand names those trucked out
tomatoes wind up in as canned diced or crushed or whole peeled tomatoes.
Or as ketchup or tomato paste.

I like nb's minestrone recipe, don't get me wrong. But I don't give a
