A glass jar yes. Sometimes I use fresh green ones, but that is very unusual. These glasses are the common way to make it. Hence the convenience. Danes keep these jars handy for leftover chicken. Traditionally fresh veggies are scarce, so traditional danish dishes wont contain fresh veggies.

I guess I just plain love asparagus. Speaking of which, I can now predict when we will have a frost here - all I need to do is check my asparagus bed for new spears and then forget to pick them. Next morning... frost. Spears ruined. Every bloody time... like this morning. Sigh. |

I was a kid in the 50s, when refrigerators had a small freezer compartment, big enough for one or two ice cube trays and maybe enough room left for a carton of ice cream. The fresh produce department in the grocery store was small because there was mainly only seasonal local produce. We did not have a wide variety of frozen foods or imported fresh fruit and vegetables. A lot of recipes called for canned products because was what we had. In fact, most households canned their own fruits and vegetables. My mother used to put up beans, peas, pears, peaches, cherries and pears. In the late 50s we got a chest freezer and she would freeze strawberries, raspberries, peaches.... and beans. We always had a garden and grew lots of green beans. And as a side note.... we ate lots of canned peas... and I liked them. ;-) |

Mushy, soft, way overprocessed canned peas. As a result, I thought I hated peas until I was in my 30's. Then I was served some fresh small peas in a restaurant. What a discovery! Even small frozen peas are better than the canned peas my mother used to dump out of a can and heat up as the vegetable to go with dinner. We all have different tastes. I prefer frozen to canned whatever in most cases. Fresh when possible. Jill |

Absolutely! I hated canned peas when I was a kid. Now that small frozen peas exist, I'm okay with them - but they are only an ingredient, never the main vegetable (unless there's nothing else to use). For example, I am making creamed chicken tonight and will include lots of (frozen) peas... mainly because I went through my freezer this afternoon, discovered 3 partially used packages of frozen peas and want to use some of it up. -- Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them. |

Don't think I've ever seen them, but agree that jarred in general will be mushy. -- Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them. |

Probably ![]() a BBQ or in a hamburger - both of which I believe is not quite the same thing as in your neck of the woods. I wouldn't want to eat canned anything too often, though. Just occasionally, otherwise I'd probably agree with the majority. |

However, te direct jpg link has no html code to load any ads. So whatever spawned something on his PC has to be local on his system, or his proxy adds stuff to pages he try to view. |
