Even if you don’t want to make it, I’ve never been in a supermarket that doesn’t offer a fresher option. I’ve even been in gas stations that offer what they at least claim is fresh potato salad.
Maybe if you really, really wanted potato salad and you were in a food desert but the corner 7-11 has canned potato salad you might buy it, but I’ve never seen this before in my life.
I don’t get it.
Being canned it doesn’t require any “weird chemicals”. Op should learn basic chemistry-canning is a preservation process that requires no “weird chemicals”, unless salt is considered a “weird chemical”.
I think he’s saying that if the potatoes are both firm and canned, it’s because of some crazy chemicals. Not just canned goods = chemicals.
Why he thinks you can’t can firm potatoes without chemicals? I have no clue.
