Reply #2: I'm looking for canned because they don't require electricity for storage

[theHandpuppet]

I keep lots of canned goods in my cellar pantry because it provides me with a store of emergency goods that don't require electricity to preserve. I do freeze some of my own, home-grown kale though. Kale is so hearty that it winters over here in northern WV. Folks who hate greens have probably never had fresh greens cooked properly (i.e., not cooked into mush). I like mixing turnip and kale greens along with diced turnips. Diced parsnips are a great addition too if you like a bit more of a kick.

I agree with you about the baked beans. Everything these days is ruined with the addition with loads of sugar and/or corn syrup. You can barely taste the actual food these days for all the sugar! B&M used to make some good baked beans but I haven't had any in quite some time so I couldn't guarantee they are using the same recipe. It came/comes in brown glass jars.

Frankly, I think many people these days have no idea what real food tastes like!
