    I was born in '87 and I distinctly recall eating a lot of canned veggies growing up. I’m sure it’s what my mom grew up (in Newark, NJ) eating, and so it probably just passed on down when she was a young mother. I’m curious if canned veggies were just the rage at the time or if it was so because access to the fresh stuff wasn’t as available.

      In Europe it would have been a thing because of Tschernobyl blowing radioactivity across the land for a while.

      I grew up with frozen vegetables, my wife grew up with canned… Just one of our many incompatibilities…
