I avoid tinned mushrooms like the plague Can't stand them. Horrible rubbery tasteless things. I get really annoyed if I'm served something with tinned mushrooms in it (especially a cooked breakfast) - it doesn't take a lot of effort to chop up a few fresh mushrooms ffs
I've been places which serve a "Full English" consisting of: frozen sausages; cheap, salty bacon; pale scrambled eggs; tinned mushrooms and tinned tomatoes - JUST DONT!!

tinned chinese mushrooms are quite different to button. Much cheaper than fresh & lovely in a pasta bake.
But tbh I could eat mushrooms prepared anyway. I have been known to pick them, rub them on my sleeve & chomp.

Tinned any veg is WRONG!!! Wrong I say!
Joyce once asked Rob's mum how she got the carrots all neat cut so nicely - did she use a serrated knife?! No they were from a tin! Only thing I don't mind is sweetcorn... for some reason.... Vegetables should be fresh! BB x |

I don't mind tinned carrots, mushrooms, potatoes or sweetcorn, but I only ever get them for extreme convenience. They're not something I keep in the cupboard.

I can cope with tinned sweet corn, but anything else is a bit pointless when you trade off the taste against the prep time.
On another note, the worst thing about cheap hotel scrambled eggs is that they are made from powder, eek! I know of a 4* hotel that used this too. Yeuch.

I like tinned carrots Not so fussed about tinned anything else though.
Mushrooms: Depends on how they look. If they look particularly dirty, I peel the outer layer off. If they look pretty clean, quick wash and cut. Works for me which is the main thing, what with it being me eating them and all

We can never get fresh exotic mushrooms without going out of our way, so we get them from the chinese supermarket. Nommy.
Yes Vix, I know places that do that too, specificially one that used to use it in a cheese on toast to make it fluffy. Maccy's use liquid eggs I think in some meals, don't they? I think their scrambled eggs are powder? Know they were in the US anyway.

I only have tinned mushrooms for emergencies but I use tinned peas/carrots/sweetcorn regularly. I love marrowfat peas ESP with cheese
