FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

It’s official – cut waxed beans (yellow) are the preferred canned vegetable in the Such Is Life household.

The competition was fierce, with over three canned vegetables sparring for supremacy. Canned sliced mushroom parts failed to make the final three, when it was determined that they were primarily used in omelettes, and generally not as a side dish.

Long-time favourite canned corn seemed a front-runner, offering the most variety – arriving on dinner plates in creamed, niblet, and peaches & cream versions – clearly showing off.

Canned peas also offered variety, but when boiled too long, seemed to taste like shredded linoleum. Or paste.

The winner, yellow cut waxed beans became apparent after several taste tests revealed a subtle dazzle in the average forkful. While perhaps a bit watery (like over-boiled peas) on occasion, the yellow cut waxed beans nevertheless continued to bubble up to the top of the pack, strong-arming the award away from corn and peas.

Cans of yellow cut waxed beans here will enjoy a lifetime supply of forking into admiring mouths here in the SIL household, following a hearty blend of mashed potato and chicken breast.

There can be no higher honour for a bean…

Chow for now!!
