Canned green beans

R Q said:
Does every can of green beans have to taste like ass? WTF? To make them "okay" you have to drain the water out, rinse them again, put fresh water with bacon grease and some seasoning. Why do they make them so nasty? :laughing:

I have canned hundreds, if not thousands of qt and pt jars of green beans. I've never had that experience. When I cook mine, I empty out the jar water, them empty the jar in a pot, fill up with tap water, then boil them down a couple of times, yes I add back just enough water to cover them. And to be honest(and it's hard for an old country boy to admit) I just put a little vegi oil back in it. I was using lard until I ran out.
So from what you have shared, I am pretty sure it's one of two things. It's either the bacon grease or, it's the water. I'd lean more towards it being the grease. Try using a ham hock, or just some country ham as seasoning. Or you could try what I do, and just put some vegi oil in them.

And please, what ever you do, do NOT share with us how you know what ass tastes like!:shaking:

I think he's talking about these canned beans which are indeed trash.

If that's true, I don't like the store canned "cut" green beans either. I do buy, since I am alone and cooking for one is difficult, so often, to not have left overs, I do use store canned green beans, but I buy the "french cut" green beans, and cook them the same as I would some I canned at home. Those do taste good, at least to me. Name brands or store brands, taste the same, but I have noticed the "store brands(all of them) you tend to find more stems in those.

To piggyback... canned salmon? 🤮

Was legit 21 y/o when I had a fresh grilled salmon filet and wanted to fight for being forced to eat that canned cat shit!

Canned salmon, same as canned tuna, is nothing like fresh... but my kids fight over salmon cakes when I make them.

I drain mine and boil them to a pulp in chicken broth and they are always a hit at the dinner table

This. With salt and bacon, cook them till they look like Granny's, and then they're edible

No doubt yours are good...
assuming you weren't raised by Depression era folks...
living in fear of trichinosis...
dictating *everything* must be cooked black, non-pliable, and tasting like fireplace ash? 😬

My grandmother taught me to cook but she knew how... and I've learned an additional trick or two. Last time I made salmon cakes (two weeks ago?), I did one big cake in a casserole dish and it was great. Didn't get the crispy edges quite the same as fried, but very good and less time-intensive.

I just cover them in Texas Pete. They taste great that way!

I really only use canned green beans to make bean salad and Texas Pete is a key ingredient to the dressing!
