It comes in a can you know...

Canned tamales. I like to eat them with eggs and pour the sauce over the eggs.

I was curious what tamales were @Linda so I like them up ,they look like they are a type of stuffed pasta is that correct ? I’ve never seen them in Australia

I buy very little in cans ,however I do buy the tiny canned salmon in chilli with oil and i always have a couple of cans of peeled tomatoes in the pantry.

Summer time I always have two,cans of evaporated milk in the fridge just in case I make a milk / jelly ( not jam) whipped desert

I like canned ravioli topped with some Parmesan cheese.

Boiled peanuts,

I don't know if I like 'em, but since reading about 'em….they are coming our way

Nothing else I care about in a can

...except beer

One of the discoveries in retirement was that taking time to prep food from scratch helped with our health. Awhile back we bought some canned tomato sauce when we ran out of home made. Had a metal taste and a little saltier than we like. It's not like we never ate canned products, we did out of convenience when we both were employed.

Having access to literally thousands of recipes online makes meal planning a breeze.

If it comes in a can you can just about bet your last $$$$$ the ingredients are from China or Thailand

I should have added (in Australia )

 

[MarciKS]

doesn't most food come from other countries? even in australia?

 

[Kadee]

That’s the very reason I buy / eat as much fresh food as we can

at least I know the veggies I buy are grown in Adelaide .

I bought sliced ham yesterday of 6 lots of ham they had only one was branded as Australian it was $5 kg dearer than imported but i still purchased the Aussie product .

I'm the same. Local, first, at any cost, over all other options.

does australia not get any imported food ever? not even the fresh foods?

most of the US foods are imported i think. not 100% sure so don't quote me on it.

 

[Aunt Marg]

We get imported produce and things, too, Marci

 

[MarciKS]

most of the imported stuff is from china and mexico i believe.

We also get produce imported from Portugal and a few other countries. I avoid it all.

 

[MarciKS]

well if we did that here we'd starve.

Well that's a real drag. Imported produce is more prevalent here over the course of the winter season.

 

[MarciKS]

it's either canned from china or fresh from God knows where and either one from whatever conditions they may be handled in.

i never leave the house to look for a farmers market. i don't even know if we have one here.

Would be nice if one was nearby you.

We have allot of imported foods most frozen fruits are from New Zealand
however it’s been advertised it’s sent from china to NZ for processing before being sent here
Another reason I grow my own apricots / peaches / plums which in bottle as well as stewing / freezing some .I also have a lemon / 3 apple trees
I was a Victim of being poisoned by imported frozen mixed berries about 3 years ago
(Hepatitis A ) Of course they got away with it by saying it’s only at temporary Illness
For this very reason I check the label on any canned or bottled product I intend buying

We have lots of farmers markets in South Australia because SA grows allot of vegetables / fruits in the Hills or on the plains, or in temperature controlled hot houses where speciality tomatoes / soft leaf lettuce / lots of green leafy Asian greens / cucumbers are grown

i've never had that experience but honestly i don't know that this would stop me from eating that product again. i can't worry about all those kinds of things all the time or i'd go nuts. but, i'm glad that it works for you @Kadee46 .
