    Tinned anything (besides baked beans ) is always inferior to frozen. Only reason I buy food in tins is if going camping.

    I prefer bagged beans than tinned tbh but they are quite hard to find where I am.

    That's not a bad idea - it would avoid the problems of the fresh one being past it's sell by date by the time they get round to winning it.

    I was 28 before I found out - on a trip to Portugal - that you could buy sardines that weren’t in tins.

    Some is just different to be honest. I like tuna steak but also like tinned tuna - same with a lot of fish - and properly made rice pudding is excellent and far superior to tinned rice pudding but i still like the tinned stuff occasionally. Similar to tinned soup, not as nice but does a job.

    The key is often that if it's something you could be eating fresh easily (pears, peas, sweetcorn, etc) then why are you getting it out of a tin?

    Ok. Fish I'll have on hand, tuna and Salmon for a sandwich or a fish sauce to go with rice. But they're nowhere near as good as fresh, frozen, or even the vacuum bag sealed kinds. Still decent, but not as good. It's also greats as a snack when kayaking and you can't beat the durability of a tin can... You don't want you package to burst when you're hours from the nearest dock and hungry.

    Can't say I've ever had tinned rice pudding, sounds absolutely abhorrent, but I've never tried it so it isn't fair for me to judge. They don't eat rice pudding in the US, or even know what it is, so if I want some I have to make it fresh for myself. (Which I don't do very often because my wife and 2/3 kids don't like rice pudding, and it's not worth the bother for just me).

    Soup I usually get from the waxxed cardboard boxes if not making from scratch. Canned is OK, but the boxes stuff tastes fresher.

    I make pho for myself fairly frequently, start off with the pho broth and add all the ingredients fresh. Pho broth comes in similar containers.
