Fingers On The Pulses- Can The Cans

Being veggie, I eat a fair few beans & pulses. For well over a decade, I've been happy to use the tinned variety. This year, I've started using the dried sort, and I assure you, the taste and texture is a million times better. Just think about fresh mushrooms, say, compared to tinned. They're in a different league. I still have a few tinned beans lurking in the cupboard for emergencies, but I know how slimy and tasteless they'll be, compared to the real deal. And, inevitably, you're paying a lot more for the tinned variety, because it's "convenient". Filling a bowl or pot with water, and next day starting to cook 60 minutes before I want to eat, is no trouble- and I'm incurably lazy.
