Soups, spaghetti sauce (in jars), tomatoes, tomato sauce, tuna, salmon, baked beans, chili, chicken broth.

Enough to feed the whole GS crowd, if we use up my pasta and rice as well. As I mentioned in a previous post, the cupboard is full. 1-2 cans (and sometimes 6) of the following.

Tomatoes, tomatoes with peppers, tomato paste, artichoke hearts, tuna (6), mushrooms, black olives, green chilis, water chestnuts, beans - baked, black, garbanzo, green, great northern, chili, red kidney, white kidney; fruit - sliced peaches, diced pears, pear halves, pineapple - slices, crushed, mandarin oranges; pie filling - cherry, blueberry; cranberry sauce, almond paste, spaghetti sauce, pumpkin, cashews, soups - chicken broth (6), beef broth, vegetable broth, vegetable beef, tomato, cream soups - chicken, mushroom, potato, onion, celery. Jars - salsa, BBQ sauce, peanut butter, Nutella, dry roast peanuts, homemade relish, French salad dressing

Not nearly as much. Tomatoes, pasta sauce (jar), tuna, clams, chipotle chilis, garbanzo beans, some Progresso soups, water chestnuts (forgot I had them), honey (jar), Mrs. Ball's Original Blatjang (jar). I also have a can of Three Snake Soup that I bought in China many years ago, but it's on display on a shelf, next to the box of Barf Detergent and the tube of Darkie Toothpaste.

I buy tomato paste in tubes & refrigerate once opened. I make all my own broths, so that's in the freezer.

tuna
chili
peanuts

Sockeye Salmon, Tuna and of course Chickpeas for Hummus.

The only thing in cans we keep in our pantry are Tomato's and Tuna, i can't ever imagine us as ever owning a can of soup!!

Is there something great you make with canned clams, Manch & Nutrax? Or with the smoked oysters, tribolite? Those are cans I've never owned.

I refuse to open the pantry doors and count cans, but rest assured I won't be starving any time too soon.

Canned clams can be turned into a decent clam chowder. And then there is clam dip

Tuna and V8 juice
At home I eat almost nothing but fresh fruit, veggies and fish

#8.(MW) Canned smoked oysters are useful for making easy finger food eats like Angels/Devils on Horseback with grilled bacon,cheese cubes,pickled silver onions,stuffed pickled olives.Yum!

#10/nutrax - the clam dip recipe you linked to calls for 1 pinch of Large Shepard. What (or who) the heck is that?

Never mind - I watched the video and learned that's presenter's term for round bread used as bread bowl - pinch/pieces from hollowed out bread used for eating the dip

Edited by: Midwesterner - mystery solved

I just grabbed that recipe and random & didn't really read it. I see there are other typos. So I watched the video.

1 pinch of Large Shepard is 1 large loaf of shepherd bread. She's basically making a bread bowl. What she is calling "shepherd bread" is also known as sheeepherder's bread. It's a large round or oval bread that is soft, rather than chewy. It's not something I commonly see in markets, but she says you can use any round loaf. .

this is a more usual recipe for clam dip.

Saute some garlic in olive oil, toss in the canned clams, then add a generous bunch of chopped parsley or cilantro. Serve on top of pasta.

Just tomatoes. If we're also counting jars, then capers and two kinds of cheese.

Yeah, I use canned clams for a red clam sauce recipe that I clipped from Yankee Magazine in the pre-internet days.

It's one of those recipes that can't help but be good because it contains 2 sticks of butter.

fr. I've got jars of pasta sauce on hand too.

Tomatoes
tomato paste
tuna
black beans
kidney beans
garbanzo beans
smoked mussels
flaked crab meat

and one can of clams that has been in the cupboard for at least 5 years. Do you think it's still good?

Scrubb, yeah, I forgot about the whole bean category. I try to use dried beans but I do keep canned in the pantry for last minute dishes.

I read in the Sunday paper that you can cook dried beans, spread in zip-lock bags and freeze, so you have a ready alternative to canned........but it sounds like a pain in the ass to save a couple of bucks.

Although you do avoid the sodium.

I have some dried beans but never seem to think of soaking them in time - they've been sitting untouched for years now, while I go through cans and cans.

But I rinse all the canned beans pretty thoroughly so hopefully that helps cut down on the sodium.

And whaddaya think about my 5+ year old * can of clams? Chance it or toss it?

• could be as much as 8 years old

Yea,we do have some dry beans that have been stored for so long that they have fossilized.

Often have tinned chick peas (garbanzos), kidney beans, tomatoes, tuna.

Baked beans
Kidney beans
corn
assorted soups including Campbells tomato
assorted curries
coconut milk
tuna
smoked mussels
Moroccan sardines
Pineapple

Probably some other stuff too. A lot of this is stuff we bought intending to use but haven't. Some of it is years old. I think the curries are about 10 years old. Anyone want some curries and canned corn?

condensed mushroom soup
mackerel or sardines in tomato (can't remember)
baked beans
tuna in oil

My tuna is in water. I don't like tuna in oil.
