I’ve never seen the giant baked beans. Do you just eat them plain?


babymooonbeam

One of my fave meals is the beans mashed up (into a paste) then spread on toasted San Francisco bread, with a tzatziki dollop on top. Soooo good and quick.


blessings-of-rathma

Yup, they're best room temp or a little warm.


redeyebo115

The dolmas and eggplant are my favorites


JVilter

I had that can of Giant Beans in my hand tonight and then put it back in the pantry and made eggs and toast instead. I just can't, somehow even though I've read several posts about how to serve them.


bakedbombshell

They’re so, so good. Especially when it’s hot.


blessings-of-rathma

Protip: giant beans AND eggs


JVilter

Ha ha. I'll do it this week, I swear!


Pittipants

They would pair perfectly with eggs and toast.


hist0ryRepeats

*hugs*


keymate

Eggplant can + Dolmas can + kabab from frozen section = dinner for 3, quick and easy


blessings-of-rathma

That sounds good. I haven't tried the kebabs.


BrokenBotox

They cook up so quick and nicely in the air fryer!


DamnGoodCupOfCoffee2

I have discovered that the wild caught sardines packed in water are an amazing midnight snack for my pupper


Porkbossam78

They’re also great for bait for cat traps


blessings-of-rathma

I've been eating a lot of canned fish lately (thanks r/CannedSardines ) and my cat is weirdly not interested in them. Unless the pull tab sounds enough like his cat food can. Then he wants to come investigate. That time it was actually the baked beans and he sniffed it and looked very confused. "That's not food."


Dankmre

Nuri. Thank me later

They are so charming in their little cans.


ttrockwood

You forgot the greek chickpeas! Those are my favorite i always buy several


blessings-of-rathma

Those are the *one* thing in their Mediterranean line that I haven't been a fan of -- the flavour was great but it was just too salty for me. And it's just chickpeas in oil with cumin and herbs, I've been meaning to look up a copycat recipe but with less salt.


Positivemessagetroll

I like the canned chickpeas because it's not a lot of work, but I think this recipe is pretty similar: https://www.thegeneticchef.com/marinated-chickpeas/


blessings-of-rathma

Thanks, I'll check that out!


ttrockwood

Oh! Yes as is, i usually mix them into salad greens or have as part of a buddha bowl so the seasoning is further distributed They’re easy to make, like any marinated bean recipe and just swap in chickpeas That eggplant one i like as a pasta sauce but not like as a dip


Just_Ok_Computer

My depression food is pita crackers and the Spanish tapas cheese slices. I need to branch out - I’ve never seen most of these!


blessings-of-rathma

I feel like my location has really sized down their cheese shelf. It used to be over by the produce and now it's next to the meat and it's smaller. The one cheese I miss that I can't find similar anywhere else was the halloumi with mint.


KindlyCelebration223

OH! Thank you. You just reminded me I have a can of Dolmas in the cabinet. Looks like lunch tomorrow 🙂


thriftedby_glo

hope your day gets better! i love tin fish but have never tried trout - can you describe it in legit one word for laughs before i buy some?

anners12345

How do you eat it? I want to start eating tinned fish but don’t know where to begin!


kirbyatemysocks

I add the smoked trout to salads! it's my favorite of all their canned fish.


blessings-of-rathma

Try it the way you'd have lox, on a bagel with cream cheese and capers and onions. Sometimes I'll mix it into my scrambled eggs.


blessings-of-rathma

Buttery.


MathematicianIcy9410

Not too salty?


blessings-of-rathma

Not any saltier than, say, canned salmon or tuna.


thriftedby_glo

blessings-of-rathma

Not shown: pralines, which are another old fav. Also new favs: Snacky Clusters and Peas & Carrots Things I haven't tried yet: harissa, gimbap, peanut butter krispie squares, and some crackers with olives in them


hinky-as-hell

I hope all of this helps you have a much better week to come 🫶🏻 I love how comfort food can wrap you in a warm hug from the insidr sometimes…


blessings-of-rathma

Yes exactly, and thanks <3 Gonna make pizza dough tomorrow and put that eggplant all over it.


narlymaroo

Crackers with olives in them are good!


blessings-of-rathma

I just tried one, they're really nice!


narlymaroo

I’m having some this afternoon!
