There are some canned foods that
taste very good, that would be difficult to reproduce with home
cooking. Considering the variety of such foods, they would be
impossible to reproduce with home cooking.

What canned foods do you like?

When I was a kid, my mom got most veggies out of a can. I thought
spinach, asparagus, artichokes, and peas were disgusting until I had
fresh ones. Even canned beans are a mockery of ones you can cook
yourself. Canned corn is not great either.

She even got \"new potatoes\" out of a can. And soup. And fish. And
\"potted meat.\" Sorry, that all turned me off to canned food.

Funny, we were sick a lot when we were kids. Lots of skin and tooth
problems too. Not any more. Fresh or frozen food is much better for
you than something that has been cooked to death and left in a can for
a year or three.


Year or three, or...Let\'s see how this 1964 ham & lima beans military
\"C\" ration has held up:

https://youtu.be/wIn5AYR1t-s

The military used to package electronic parts in tin cans, as field
spares for various climates. I remember getting surplus tubes and
rotary switches and variable caps in cans. They also put some parts in
cardboard boxes and dipped them in wax.

Of course, the cans, for parts and food, were soldered shut. A little
lead never hurt a tube.

Remember Vienna Sausage in cans? Pork and Beans? Repulsive.

I feel the same way about a charcoal grilled burger. Repulsive. I tried the Burger King Impossible thing once. They made it taste too much like a burger. It\'s funny how people think they need to make vegetables taste like meat. I\'d much rather than just prepared really good vegetables and just not bother with all the issues of handling and transporting meat safely.

But because there are so few people who appreciate good food and think there has to be some part of an animal on the plate, restaurants don\'t bother having much on the menu without without it. One of the best meals I\'ve ever had was vegetarian in a fantastic Afghan restaurant in Vienna, VA. Fairfax county has some very fine restaurants.

US food is mostly either fried or deep fried. The USA is the home of the deep fried xxxx, fill in the blank.

I supposed should be flattered that John Doe sees me as a troll - I\'m clearly not in his class, and do try to avoid acting as he does. As far as I know I\'m not actually a troll, and he\'s just being as unpleasant and unhelpful as usual. but people as stupid as he is have all sorts of silly ideas.

I think the Impossible is a really good emulation, first time I had it
(not at Burger King though, you get what you pay for) I thought the
kitchen had made a mistake.

But yeah I guess you have to like regular hamburgers first to like it. I
do, but I\'ve been scaling back my red meat intake a lot past few years,
since I was in my late 30s. One serving a week, if that, is plenty for me.

Johnson & Wales University in Providence RI has one of the larger and

lot of nice little spots where you can get great food cheap by
newly-minted chefs-in-training before some of \'em move to the

I order fairly exotic foods from Amazon. Greek sour cherry preserves,
giganta dried beans, speciality teas, Camellia red beans, borlotti
beans, Arnaud\'s remoulade sauce, various chocolates. And of course
Royal Danish butter cookies, but only for the cans.

Doesn\'t Amazon deliver where you are?

Yes, to me anyway, it tasted very much like a burger. That\'s why I realized the absurdity of it. There are so many more things they could serve that would be delicious and not just an imitation of something else. Virtually any fresh vegetable is so good. A friend grills steaks and such, but will also grill zucchini and squash cut into strips. Very tasty.

I\'m the same way with tofu. There are ways to cook tofu so it tastes good, a few anyway. Tossing it into random dishes in place of meat doesn\'t do it for me at all. Just leave the tofu out and put in more veggies. Asian dishes in particular are so good with just vegetables.

But yeah I guess you have to like regular hamburgers first to like it. I
do, but I\'ve been scaling back my red meat intake a lot past few years,
since I was in my late 30s. One serving a week, if that, is plenty for me..

I used to enjoy burgers and steaks. But once you get out of the habit the smell of searing grease is not so appetizing.

My lament is not that I miss meat in any way, there just aren\'t enough places that do a good job of cooking without meat. I have friends who think green beans are just there as to add body to the ham in the pot.

Johnson & Wales University in Providence RI has one of the larger and
prestigious hospitality/culinary schools in New England, so there are a
lot of nice little spots where you can get great food cheap by

I\'m currently stuck in po-dunk, VA and I\'m lucky to have a decent Mexican place 10 miles away. They have a couple of pescetarian dishes I eat and a few veggie dishes, but not as good because they over cook the veggies.

Do you think any of those chefs will come to Louisa, VA population 1,700?

I order from Walmart what I can\'t get from Amazon for a reasonable
price.

I try to work against monopolies, whenever convenient, so it just
depends.

Walmart has discounted some of its online stock. But with this last
order being in pathetic shape, including what is apparently grease on
some of the cans, I might use the local store instead. I always clean
the tops of cans that are not in packaging. The cans being beat to hell
is one thing, but there should not be grease on the cans.

Yes, to me anyway, it tasted very much like a burger. That\'s why I realized the absurdity of it. There are so many more things they could serve that would be delicious and not just an imitation of something else. Virtually any fresh vegetable is so good. A friend grills steaks and such, but will also grill zucchini and squash cut into strips. Very tasty.

I\'m the same way with tofu. There are ways to cook tofu so it tastes good, a few anyway. Tossing it into random dishes in place of meat doesn\'t do it for me at all. Just leave the tofu out and put in more veggies. Asian dishes in particular are so good with just vegetables.


But yeah I guess you have to like regular hamburgers first to like it. I
do, but I\'ve been scaling back my red meat intake a lot past few years,
since I was in my late 30s. One serving a week, if that, is plenty for me.

I used to enjoy burgers and steaks. But once you get out of the habit the smell of searing grease is not so appetizing.

My lament is not that I miss meat in any way, there just aren\'t enough places that do a good job of cooking without meat. I have friends who think green beans are just there as to add body to the ham in the pot.

I\'m currently stuck in po-dunk, VA and I\'m lucky to have a decent Mexican place 10 miles away. They have a couple of pescetarian dishes I eat and a few veggie dishes, but not as good because they over cook the veggies.

checked.)

so the family would go down there in the summer. Usually then take a
swing down thru Ashland, Williamsburg, Virginia Beach and stop at King\'s

Delaware and see the ponies at Chincoteague on the way.

There was a little restaurant in Ashland called The Smokey Pig, some of
the best BBQ I\'ve ever had. Well at 12 years old, anyway. I was sad to
hear that it seems it went OOB a number of years back.

I bought one of my kayaks from a guy in Ashland. Not a very big place, but it\'s getting a sizable commercial presence along Rt 95 a bit outside of town. I always knew the railroad went through town, but I never gave it much thought until I was stuck at the crossing one day for about 10 minutes waiting for a freight train to lumber through and another time when I was walking by the station and a fast passenger train flew through town. Only some of them stop, many are express trains.

I remember some \"fantastic\" barbecue place being in the old part of town. Never made it in.
