    Tinned potatoes? Bleurgh, disgusting waxy sugary crap. My old mum loves tinned veg: peas, butter beans, marrow fat peas, carrots etc. :s Why anyone would eat this stuff by choice is beyond me.

    Tinned veg = good to have in the back of the cupboard for when fresh or frozen stocks run out and you can't replace them in a hurry. Otherwise I wouldn't make a habit of using them.

    Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself

    When I was younger I worked summer jobs in a local canning factory.

    The smell during the pea season... I can still taste it now, 30 years on - that mixture of freshly processed peas and bleach.  Enough to make me retch even now.

    Every now and then you'd get a "blower" - peas that had somehow fermented and rotted in the can, causing the can to massively swell.  Then it would get stuck in the overhead rails that transported the cans around the factory.  And one of the students (muggins) would be sent with a pointy stick to un-jam it (usually bursting the can and showering said student with rotten peas).  

    Ah, great times.

    I have taken tinned spuds camping in the past. Saves preparation time and facilities. Otherwise I can't think why they are popular outside of student bed sits and OAP kitchens where the infirm can't hold a knife in thier arthritic hands.

    Used to have them in stew when I lived with my mum and dad. I hate stew, so now I don't have them anymore. 

    Tinnned potatoes are actually edible though. 

    I really like tinned peas, apart from the luminous colour. 

    Tinned carrots can fuck off though. They are the devil's own work. 

    I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin

    But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to

  • Lol @MrBump - I spent a month delivering for a Pizza Hut restaurant and when it was quiet, they'd make drivers prepare potato salad. Huuuuge cans of peeled spuds, emptied into an even bigger bucket and hand mixed with mayo. The smell of spuds in salt water has the same effect on me. :)

    "What happens to a bloke, that he ends up alone and unable to summon up the will to peel some potatoes and put a pan of water on to boil? Do me a favour, If I ever end up living alone and in my cupboard you find tinned potatoes just give me the old high velocity .22 pellet in the cranial gap just below my ear."

    When I was a kid I remember my mum opening a can of Bachelors peas and finding a huge caterpillar inside, dyed bright green, same colour as the peas. She wrote in and complained and a massive box of tinned food turned up a few days later.

    Can’t remember ever eating tinned potatoes. A few years ago someone I worked with won a Xmas hamper and gave me the things she didn’t want. This included a tin of Brussel sprouts. Oh Jeepers, they were bad ( and I like Brussel sprouts). 
    I like tinned marrowfat peas though, yum.

    I didn’t even realise tinned sprouts were a thing.  :s

    I love those French tinned small carrots and peas. Bonduelle, and others do them. They also come in jars. Tinned potatoes are OK at a push, but they do smell a bit funny.

    Where's @RandallFlagg, somebody's mentioning stew...!

    I agree with the OP, except I haven't tried all the Dos.  And I do like them cold straight out of the tin.

    Here I am sweet cheeks. Tinned potatoes are ghastly, the very thought of them in a stew gives me the squits.

    the only things tha should come in tins is pints cans of Stella, pints of Guinness, baked beans and mushy peas.
