The results of the recent mini poll Do you eat tinned (canned) food? showed that our top 4 choices for tinned food are Tomatoes (92.3%), Beans and pulses (84.6%), Soup (76.9%), Fish/shellfish (76.9%)
Tomatoes - hardly surprising as tinned tomatoes are so useful in all kinds of sauces and stews. In second place came beans and pulses. I was wondering if this was a reflection on the popularity of Baked Beans or whether people were buying other types of tinned beans - hence this poll. I've based the choices on what can be obtained in UK supermarkets - but please mention any other beans if they are not on the list. I haven't included tinned lentils or other pulses such as chickpeas in this poll. But please mention them too, if you buy them.
My personal favourite is black beans which have a wonderful smoky taste and look so glossy, black and dramatic!
