LOL Good topic! (I definitely keep canned foods on hand. Not necessarily
for daily or even monthly use, but I always have some.)

#2 rfc'ers *never* buy fresh fruits or vegetables out of season.

Nonsense. My creamed spinach recipe is based
on a _generic_ canned soup. No Campbell's here.

I have to admit that I do keep a few canned vegs: stewed tomatoes,
tomato *paste*, garbanzos, whole beets (for quick pickles), refried and
baked beans and some canned soups for a quick lunch (tomato mainly).
Vegs are hardly ever completely out of season tho' they can be expensive
and I don't find that corn that must travel any distance is very good.

Oh heck, I buy Kraft mac-n-cheese. Granted it's basically for the

A myth, as far as I am concerned. Whenever I have neither time nor
inclination to cook anything at all, I won't hesitate to open a can or
jar. Posted some nine years ago:

Come to Germany - it is a canned-soup paradise. There is many a canned
soup here that will beat a perfectly respectable home-made equivalent
into the ground. To the best of my knowledge, Germany is the only place
with a plethora of good canned soups. France, in contrast, is quite
hopeless in this respect - not that the French are losing any sleep over
it, I imagine. The funny thing is, even Campbell's Soup show themselves
as capable of producing good soups here - in a sense. They now own the
local producer, Erasco, which make some perfectly good soups.

There are also some rather good Polish-produced soups available here now
(such as mushroom-barley by Dworek), jarred rather than canned.

France may be hopeless in the canned soup department, but there are some
perfectly acceptable canned or jarred versions of cassoulet, confit, or
garbure (the latter may be considered a soup).

Definitely a myth. I can eat canned cream of mushroom soup right out of
the can, and have admitted as much here. It's gross and trashy, and I
don't care. It's a rare thing, and we eat good, wholesome food most of
the time.

I used to do that with bean bacon soup when I was a kid. I think I'll
buy some and try it again, I'm curious.

My from-the-can soup was Campbell's Pepper Pot. Cold.

My sister loved that stuff. She hogged it all, though, so I actually
never tasted it. I didn't like most of their soups, but either tomato
(made with milk and/or water) and cream of mushroom (either straight
from the can or with milk, cold or hot) were my faves.

These days, Campbell's tomato is way too sweet for me, so I usually make
it myself, but I do keep a can or two around for the occasional
nostalgia need (grilled cheese and).

Okay: rfc-ers have freezers full of beef, veal, chicken, pork,
vegetarian, and shellfish stock and would never, ever use canned,
bottled, or powdered stocks.

I think the statement above is not accurate.

What's closer to the truth is many RFC people twitch at the
idea of throwing a can of soup into some larger recipe that
involves lots of effort and fresh ingredients. That's quite
different from not wanting to eat a can of soup.

I've never eaten a condensed soup straight from the can.

A non-condensed soup, such as a can of lentil soup, sure.
I also sometimes eat canned veg. chili, or a plain can
of beans unheated.

This is usually late at night when I don't want to wake
other people up by banging around in the kitchen, heating
up food.

I never use canned, powdered, or bottled stocks. However the
only stock in my freezer is vegetable stock. Much as I
sometimes enjoy things made with other stocks I don't
feel the strong compulsion to prepare them at home.

I can wait for my next trip to Montreal before having
veal-stock-based poutine again, and I'm happy to have
the occassional bisque when in a restaurant. (But
I do make chowders.)

I thought RC Cola was what you drank to wash down Moon Pies if sweet tea
wasn't available. Another Suthun thang.

RFC'ers do not make the following:

Green bean casserole (the one with canned green beans, cream of mushroom
soup, and french-fried onions)
Lipton onion soup dip
Mashed potatoes from instant flakes
Mock apple pie using Ritz crackers

Boiled ribs (exception made for our late Moosemeat)

OB Food that we did make: Yesterday the SO made ribs on the grill and
slathered them with a sauce made from cherry preserves. Tonight we had
the leftovers. Alongside the ribs I roasted some garlic scapes and made
a quinoa and produce bin odds and ends salad.

It's easily available in Minneapolis, which is not usually considered
part of the South.

I've made it, but I don't get what the big deal is about it. I didn't
grow up with it, though, so there's no nostalgia to it. My mom always
just boiled fresh green beans and tossed them with butter and salt. She
and I would also eat them raw while I was prepping them (I was mom's
prep cook from an early age).

> Lipton onion soup dip

Love the stuff. Always have. But now I make a version with dried onions
and either beef Better than Buillon or oyster sauce, and we like that
better. Plus, it means I don't have to keep onion soup mix on hand; the
other stuff is always in my cupboards.

I can't get past the texture of those.

Never tried it.

>

James's ribs are ALWAYS boiled/simmered first, in water enriched with
molasses. Then he bakes them. Yeah, it's not real barbecue, but it's
real TASTY, and that's what counts.

Yumyumyum!!!

We had sandwiches for dinner tonight. Mine was mortadella, cheese (Kraft
Singles, so there, food snobs!), mayo (store-bought), tomato, romaine
lettuce, salt, and pepper. It was quite nice, with an apple to go with.

Oh, RC is nationwide, but dumping the peanuts in it *isn't*. Tom's or
Lance's brand of salted peanuts preferred.

What do you do then? Drink the cola? Dredge the nuts out and eat them?
Both?

In my impoverished college student years, I would sometimes cook beans,
in the can, on the stove (no pot to wash). Being a physics major, I was
at least smart enough to open the top of the can before putting it on
the stove.

Of course, RFC'ers would never purchase or consume frozen entrees (or
"frozen entrails" as Cindy calls them).

Note #1: For purposes of this myth, frozen entrails are defined as any
prepared meal that goes directly from freezer to microwave to feed some
lazy schlub who does not take the time and effort to prepare a proper
repast from scratch, using organic, locally sourced, nutritious
ingredients, exquisitely seasoned, using superb technique.

Note #2: Brand does not matter. For purpose of this myth, Banquet =
Hungry Man = Claimjumper = Stouffer's = Lean Cuisine = Wolfgang Puck
(aka "Woof, Gag, Puke"). They are all just TV Dinners.

We are all pure, right?

Since you brought this back up :-)

The one thing I always have on hand for when I'm in the mood for... is
beets.

I have two cans of sliced beets in the cupboard, and one in the fridge.

I just wanted to say thanks to you guys for this thread.

You made me smile on several points.

From how you say it, I guess that you are aware that a myth can have
other meanings. The primary definition, according to the Oxford English
Dictionary, is:

"A traditional story, typically involving supernatural beings or
forces, which embodies and provides an explanation, aetiology, or
justification for something such as the early history of a society, a
religious belief or ritual, or a natural phenomenon."
