i love canned peas, but only the lesieur brand baby peas that mish mentioned. i think that the brand is owned by campbells, in case anyone is interested.
i have always hated those giant dimpled peas that we used to call army peas when i was young. i've never known why they were called that, but i would have to incorporate them into my mashed taters to choke them down.
how can you beat the ease of preparation of canned veggies? just dump them in a pot, and heat for just a minute, e voila!
i love canned corn and french cut stringbeans too.
