Things you eat straight out of the jar

[Orang Utan]

That's a silly question

I’d be shocked if you meant the unrefridgerated salted ones that come in oil in tiny jars or tins that are meant for cooking with. They’re delicious but very very salty.
But not if it was those delicious fresh ones that come in tubs from the fridge and are meant for picnics.

Yeh not all jarred anchovies are salty. But I only have one or two salty ones at a time. With strawberry jam after.

I've just finished work and have gone for a pint before last orders. And so it would be prudent to get other people's views.

So far we have.

Crisps
Baked beans
Ravioli
Sweetcorn
Rice Pudding
Tomato soup (Heinz only)
Custard
Tuna
Spaghetti hoops
Sardines
Meatballs

 

[Calamity1971]

Mushy peas.
Another vote for sweetcorn, never makes it to the plate.

Not sure if crisps ‘count’

 

[Orang Utan]

Custard, oh yeah, but can never be arsed to make it, which is just as well

 

[nottsgirl]

Capers. Just the odd spoonful.

 

[iona]

Most of the usual things
Pickled walnuts
Chutney
Mustard
That double concentrated tomato puree that comes in a handy tube for squirting straight into your mouth
Vinegar, especially balsamic but others too
Dried mushrooms
Posh salt (smoked / kala namak / etc) and curry pastes in smaller quantities

I sometimes keep the liquid from homemade sauerkraut etc to use as a starter for fermenting fussier veg, but if there's only a small amount I'll just drink it or add it to food.

 

[May Kasahara]

Pickled onions
Pickled chillies
Gherkins
Olives
Rollmops (my secret shame)

 

[The39thStep]

Mrs Elswood sliced cucumbers and 100% drink the liquid it’s in too

Gherkins for me

 

[MickiQ]

I like the syrup that tinned fruits come in.

 

[Orang Utan]

The posts I’ve shockliked are the ones with very strong tastes - very salty, very rich or very sour would normally scare me off digging in with a big spoon.

Cold beans, pasta and meatballs though - boak! I know they’re probably safe, but I couldn’t eat a tinned meatball without nuking it first. Not that I’d have them in the house in the first place .

 

[scifisam]

Cockles

 

[Epona]

Anyone admit to drinking any of the various fluids these things come in? Briny, vinegary juices…

A Dirty Martini is when you add some of the olive brine to the drink

Aye love it. Have you had Picklebacks?

 

[Orang Utan]

Cockles

I’m not sure if I’ve ever tried those. Can’t say I’ve ever been tempted.

 

[DotCommunist]

Custard. Rice pudding

Tinned fish

Custard. Rice pudding

Tinned fish

Oh god I love tinned custard cold and straight from the tin so much!
Don't get it often, but when we do I'll leave some in the tin and be greedily slurping it out with a spoon into my gob while the rest of it heats up

 

[Orang Utan]

Don’t think i’ve ever tried tinned custard!

 

[DaveCinzano]

Pesto
Marmalade
Golden syrup
Hot chocolate powder
Shippams paste

 

[Dr. Furface]

Cornichons
Olives
Hot sauce

 

[maomao]

Do you swallow the olive stones?

Yes and I now have an olive grove growing out my arse.

(of course I don't, if you were just wondering why I prefer the stones in it's cause the olives don't go mushy that way)

 

[seeformiles]

Marmite
Pesto

 

[jontz01]

Lime/mango pickle.
Nutella.
Strawberry conserve.
Jalapenos.

 

[May Kasahara]

Custard. Rice pudding

Ooh yes, both of these. Curse you, Ambrosia.

 

[Silas Loom]

Two people have said “flat meats” now, as if it’s a recognised term for prepackaged sliced cooked meat, what people on the wrong side of the Atlantic call “cold cuts”. It isn’t.

 

[klang]

flat meat sounds like an ǝᴉssnɐ expression for demise.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Aye love it. Have you had Picklebacks?

I'd forgotten about them. And this is how you remind me.

 

[Saunders]

Don’t think i’ve ever tried tinned custard!

It’s delicious, much nicer than custard powder, and easily as nice as tubs of custard from the chiller section of the shop.

That’s possibly just my own personal coinage. Apologies.
