Sales of tinned foods are up, supposedly, with sponge puddings and baked beans sales doing particularly well.
As a nod to this fact, Yotam Ottlonghi has come up with a three-course dinner concocted out of four tins, including smoked oysters. Which got me wondering which canned goods I'm overlooking that could be worth a try.
There are basically two products in the canned goods arena that I compulsively buy on any trip to the shops, in case I run out. Which usually means I either have about eight cans of said food, or none at all, as I think I've got eight cans but have actually run out. Namely, tinned tomatoes, usually in a four pack, unless I'm walking, and coconut milk.
There are a few other staples, bought on a less regular basis - chickpeas, kidney beans, anchovies, and tomato soup for emergency use. There are probably others, but those are the main offenders. What canned treats am I missing out on?
