Veg-All Mysteries

The question has been asked:
WHAT IS "VEG-ALL?"

This time it was asked by my sister, cilla, in a comment on this blog. About a month ago, I was the one asking that question when my husband told me to pick up a can of it at the grocery store for his soup.
Based on that experience, I have a definition for you - mixed vegetables in a can.

But even my answer begs the question, what is veg-all, really?

So, I looked it up. A little self-organized research project
with the help of... *drumroll* ...google.
My findings are as follows:
My personal definition is acurate, nearly to the letter - Canned mixed vegetables.

Based on my recent experience at the grocery store, I know how hard it is to shop for something you've never seen before, so I thought I'd be generous today and let you
have a peek before you seek.

This is to what I refer when I say "veg-all."

Upon conductiong an extensive search, however, I found that there are other species of this can I so recently discovered. One information specialist put it this way:

"When you think of Veg-All, the first thing that probably comes to mind is a can of our original mixed vegetables; that delightful combination of corn, peas, beans, potatoes, celery, carrots, and lima beans in a light onion broth.
But many of the same delicious vegetables that come together to create Veg-All's original mixed vegetables are also packaged individually, making them the perfect choice as a recipe ingredient or delicious side dish."



I also discovered that, in addition to the original mixed vegetables, they also make Hot n' Spicy as well as Cajun mixed vegetables.

After all of this interesting information found it's way to my computer screen, I couldn't help but wonder, "what do the people think about this product line?" Based on my findings, I am convinced that Veg-All is "one of America’s most cherished products" and is "the greatest canned food in existence." After all, any food that has people saying that it is “engagingly good!” wins my vote in the election.

Perhaps the most interesting find is that the festivities go far beond canned vegetables. As any respectable canned food company does, Veg-All has their own website with favorite recipes for you to enjoy. But they go just a bit further. There is a recipe of the month club that, if you give them your name and address, they'll send you a recipe straight to your house. And now, they even offer a Veg-All recipe box for ONLY $7.50!
HURRY! Quantities are limited!

No, really...read it. It's well worth your time and you'll come away wondering what it would look like in your kitchen!
Don't forget, there is a link where you can leave feedback and share your e-pinions with the Veg-All family.
And finally, Veg-All is owned by Allens.
