I have the following problem: you can buy a lot of different brands of canned tomatoes.
Indeed I have been trying a few of them to find one I like.
However, there are a lot: very often I recognise a can, but I don't remember if I liked it or not.
This is worsened by the fact that I shop at a few different stores, each with different cans on sale.
I guess I could snap a picture of each of those, print it and place it on the fridge so that I eventually get to remember them, but this solution is not really scalable.
I can keep the pictures in my phone and go through them when I'm shopping, but I'm unsure I can put a label on the picture and I'm not really sure how I'd be able to find them.
I know it appears like a small petty problem, but it is not when you get a can that is disgusting and you have to throw away the food you cooked; to avoid this I always have to buy several cans of different types and I end up with my house filling up with the ones I don't like.

Damn you!

@rastinza That's a sad story. We can all our tomatoes and the supply lasts for the year, unless our kids come to visit.

@hasmis That's nice! I used to make jars when I had a garden and a pressure cooker, now I have to rely on the shops.
Unfortunately I still haven't found a really good can of tomatoes, there are some Italian imported ones which are good, but way too expensive.

@rastinza @hasmis what makes canned tomatoes good? Is there a way to find the companies that follow that process before you buy?

@Iwillyeah @rastinza When we can we use ripe tomatoes and mix in other surplus veggies, like zucchini. Then we puree it all with a hand blender.
