I don't eat most canned foods, just tuna fish, canned tomatoes to make sauce, and Progresso soups. I love their chicken noodle soup when I'm under the weather.
Well now, people seem to be mistaking their favorite canned foods with canned foods they use. I use many kinds, they're just not ones I'd consider favorites. And most require some sort of doctoring to be tasty (IMO). Sure fresh and unprocessed foods are preferable, but having a well-stocked pantry can be a life-saver at times.
Not sure if CD is where I found this, but it sure scared me off canned tomatoes. I've never seen them in jars here, so kinda stuck unless I make my own.
I love corned beef sandwich's.
Hormel chili no beans.
Green beans, believe it or not.
Chili beans. That's all I can think of at the moment, try to avoid them because of the sodium.
Sometimes I like canned peas....that is probably nostalgia from my childhood.....but I do like them...with mac and cheese. (In creamy sauced dishes I prefer frozen peas.) I like Del Monte green beans too....but not as much as fresh.
I like a dish in which I use canned; pork and beans, old fashion baked beans, butter beans....and kidney beans.
There are lots of canned goods I use in recipes and I wouldn't be without them in my pantry.
addition: We like canned milk in our coffee over fresh or half and half.
We also like canned sardines and other smoked fish, clams for white sauce or chowder. I like canned crab meat more than fresh, for salad or addition to potato salads. I used to love love love canned salmon for cooking, eg. salmon wiggle or salmon cakes.
I used to like Vienna sausages....hvent had them in many years. I might not like them now.

Reason: additions
After reading and contributing to the other thread about canned food I will eat fresh food from now on. Canned food is gross and unhealthy.
Some of it is gross -- like pickled eggs tinted pink -- and some is unhealthy. Spam springs to mind. But there is no substitute after a really horrible day at work for 12 ounces of wax beans straight out of the can with a fork. And then you drink the saltwater left in the can. Mmmmm.
Gosh there are all kinds of canned foods I like actually:
Stagg chili
Underwood sandwich spead, any flavor
Jellied cranberry sauce
Canned peaches, pears or fruit cocktail
Creamed corn
Bush's baked beans
Canned beans in general including refried beans
Green chilies
Black olives
Soups
Tuna fish
Salmon (for salmon patties)
