The Guardian’s lovely Word of Mouth blog has an interesting piece on tinned food. Now that we’re all skint, tinned food sales are increasing, and one of the Guardian food writers has provided a menu for a three-course meal based around tinned foods. I like the sound of the Conchiglie with smoked oyster sauce, but I’ve never noticed smoked oysters in the shops – anyone know where you can get them?
What tins are always in your cupboard? Like the writer of the first Guardian article linked above, I compulsively hoard tinned tomatoes. I also usually have tins of kidney beans as I’m never organised enough to soak the dried ones overnight.
