For example, a salad of tomatoes and parsley, with <i>lots</i> of parsley... I always try to keep some parsley growing in the garden, and next time I cook potatoes, I'm going to try your Italian/English idea :-)GretchenJoannahttp://www.gretchenjoanna.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3691741652741267481.post-12779125637108948532016-08-19T15:47:05.958-04:002016-08-19T15:47:05.958-04:00We just heated them up out of the can and mixed in...We just heated them up out of the can and mixed in butter and parsley.

It might not be an English thing but then I come from southern England - it could be a northern speciality and I could be completely wrong! Canned food was *the* food to eat before fast freezing and before everyone had refrigerators. There has been a recent study into how nutritious canned food is and it has been found that it is just as good for us if not better in many cases than fresh and frozen food. Canned food in tests had retained more vitamins than fresh vegetables (unless cooked immediately) which begin to deteriorate as soon as they are harvested.clare.elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08246678101002977575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3691741652741267481.post-84770114790082056802016-08-18T09:33:46.201-04:002016-08-18T09:33:46.201-04:00what a lovely memory and a really special older co...what a lovely memory and a really special older couple! neat!!!
