New Veggie Supplier Found

Postby OldUsedParts » Thu Feb 11, 2021 2:02 pm

We've recently found a Veggie Product by "Margaret Holmes" and we really like what we've tried so far. We've used their "Hoppin John" and this one V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V V which we really prefer over all others

I also prefer putting in a couple of strips of Bacon after dicing and browning. I have also added a cut up and par-boiled tater to the pot since it's primarily Green Beans.

I just stumbled onto those about a month ago, as well. I only saw the green beans and the green beans with potatoes.
Tried both and we really liked them too. I hope the Hoppin John shows up here.

If you like Blackeyes done right then you'll like these and of course, some sauteed bacon never hurt anything has it :?:
I've never eaten canned greens that I liked and I'm also anxious to try their canned version if HEB starts stocking them. :tup:

I generally like Margaret Holmes products. They used to sell the best canned peaches I've ever had. Sadly they say storms devastated their orchards and I can't find out if they ever plan on selling the product again.

While these lack the taters and onions here are my favorite green beans. All the other's I've tried have the taste and texture of green sticks to me. I also like all the Allen's products I've tried.

I'm thinking that Allen's and Margaret Holmes are part of the same Corporation :dont: :scratch:
