    Canned veggies are the absolute worst.  Straight mush.

    Frozen all the way.

    Canned corn is twice as crisp as frozen, unless you don't thaw it.

    If I want chewy corn, I'll save the electricity and dry it.

    Corn and peas, taste test them folks, let me know what you think.
    If you conclude that frozen is better, you will be wrong but I'll let it go lol

    Canned vegetables are for depressions and wars.

    Peas are where I drew the line, actually.  The wife grew up with canned peas and brought them into my life once and I had to set the record straight.  I don't know about the specific brand you speak of, but if they are anything along the lines of what I have had, it is dark green nasty mush.

    I'd rather have mushy peas than starchy peas!

    Hahahaha!

    What other kinds of beans do you eat out of turn? Do you wait until your bush beans are fat and starchy too, or do you eat them at peak ripeness?

    I am going to do a taste test, for real.  Will choose "high end" options from both and report back at some time in the not too distant future.

    I like your resolve!  

    I will concede that frozen is better for soups and casseroles and similar dishes, that's off the table.  But as an unadorned side dish... Let there be war.

    I grew up eating mostly canned.  Canned green beans?  Omfg, horrid.  Frozen?  Much better.  Obviously, fresh is preferred


    Oh man, I felt like we had canned green beans with every meal growing up.  So disgusting.  I still don't eat green beans to this day....

    Corn and peas are fine frozen, and are the only veggies (well, is corn a veggie? It's a grain, right?) that can be frozen. I would never eat any other frozen veg unless I was starving to death. I also think that canned veggies are vomit-worthy. I wouldn't eat any canned veggies unless I was living in a post-apocalyptic world where all the soil is dead and can't grow things anymore.
    Why would anyone use canned or frozen green beans anyway, when they are readily available fresh all year round? I at least understand canning or freezing peas and corn because of the "format" - most aren't husking their own peas and stripping corn cobs - but why can beans? It's like canning broccoli.

    I think you're looking outnumbered here, gambs.  The force is strong on the anti-canned takes.
