Nothing canned gets near their shopping bags. And why should they? Canning is for out-of-season foods, and nothing ever seems to be out-of-season here. Well, except for the foods you can never get.<br /><br />I can see the kitchen in my local restaurant. The cook (Ala) uses fresh ingredients for everything. And her food tastes marvelous.
