It's often said that frozen peas taste as good as (and are as healthy as) the fresh variety. Are there any other tasty frozen veggies out there? I really need to increase my veg consumption and the 'fresh' stuff I buy at the weekends has usually gone off by the latter half of the week. Sorry in advance for such a mundane question, but I reckon there must be some other time-constrained mums out there who have reliable freezer fallbacks.

I like waitrose grilled mixed vegetables - good to toss into pasta sauce for a bit of a veg boost when I don't feel like cooking.

Sweetcorn and chopped spinach are also staples in my freezer - chopped spinach can go in just about any sauce or on its own, frozen sweetcorn is far nicer frozen than tinned, though it's hard to beat fresh at this time of year.

Hi uptime! Hope you're ok.


We have in our freezer as staples frozen peas, frozen sweet corn (only just discovered this) and a bag of mixed chipped veg from sainos which is surprisingly nice. I only really use them for E's dinner as they microwave in about 90seconds so v handy. Also have frozen chopped spinach which is really handy to throw into pasta. I also use that sometimes to make creamed spinach for us.


Apparently waitrose do a nice rice and mixed veg which is handy for dinner in a rush for the kids with goujons etc.

yeah, agree about frozen broad beans. also frozen corn on the cob.

also slightly off topic but am a recent convert to frozen bags of rice you can pop in the microwave...

And jamie oliver frozen fishcakes are great - maybe bit small for adults unless you have 3, but good size for the kids. sorry I know these aren't veg!

oh - frozen berries good too - my son likes eating frozen strawberries for some reason.

Broad beans, sweetcorn, edamame and artichoke bottoms in our freezer (in addition to peas of course!). Also tend to freeze left over pulses when I've only used part of a tin so they get added into meals too.


When Baby Knomester was little I also used to make batches of sweet potato wedges and freeze those so they were ready to eat. Same with any veg really - I'd cook extra when we were having it and pop into bags in the freezer (good way to make sure veg isn't wasted too).


Not been able to order edamame from Ocado recently for some reason - always out of stock - but they sell them in SMBS on Lordship Lane.

    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
