The Only Frozen Veg I Buy Is Petit Pois....

[Jeza]

But I was wondering, if you don't overcook it, is frozen veg as good for you as fresh? In the past at other peoples houses I might add, I have found it water logged. Probably due to over cooking. Unless you clever people know different.

Jeez, Dave.....who suggested eating them...I thought you knew me better than that.

Eccles wanders of shaking head rethinking her Creme de Menthe Mojito with muddled sprouts.....

Hmmm - the Frozen Sweetcorn, Galliano and Advocaat Surprise may take a little development too :)

When I moved in here I went through the freezer in order to defrost it. I found a bag of frozen sprouts which were long past their useful life (if indeed they ever had a useful life). Mr BM refused to let me throw them out. So at Christmas he had sprouts and pronounced them delicious. I had to explain that those hideous green bullets had been consigned to the compost bin months earlier and he was eating fresh.

Barmaid, Dave has given a perfectly acceptable use for frozen sprouts. Ammunition for your catapult to be used against the unruly elders of the parish.

Do you not recall the Roald Dahl Tales of the Unexpected story about the leg of lamb murder.......think on...... ;-)

Wasn't Legolam someone important in Lord of the Rings ?

Only frozen peas or green beans, runner beans though, can't stand broad beans. Never occurs to me to buy frozen sweetcorn, always get tinned though would never buy tinned peas or beans.

I thought it was in Windsor.

I find that frozen peas hurt my leg.

Very good, OG :-)

[sunny-dave]

Anyone remember "Surprise Peas" ... the main surprise being that anyone had ever considered that they were edible

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

I like frozen sprouts.

The vitamin content of most frozen veg is generally higher than that of 'fresh' veg, simply because frozen veg is actually (in terms of deterioration) actually 'fresher'.

Back in my student days I worked in a frozen food factory, which was processing green beans from local farms. Each lorry load was carefully tracked. Any beans which hadn't been delivered to the factory AND fully processed within 90 minutes of being picked were simply thrown away.

I use frozen peas, sweetcorn, broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, carrots, peppers, sprouts and i even have some mushrooms and diced onions for emergencies.

Agree with chris, frozen veg is processed immediately and is very "fresh" therefore. If your veg is sloppy, it's the way it's cooked - we steam or roast all our veg.

Somebody wandering into this conversation might draw the conclusion that the main benefit of frozen vegetables is to leave folk with far too much time on their hands.
Has all this waffle been properly defrosted?

[boxtops]

It does, douglas, it gives us time to come on AB.... :-)

Frozen waffles are fine, too.

I use frozen veg most of the time , it's convenient and economical. Cook in a microwave with a tablespoon of water and it will retain all it's goodness and taste. Just follow the instructions on the pack.

Use frozen peas and sweetcorn for curries. I do have emergency froxen veg in the freezer but it's not the same - watery and rather tasteless
