Had Campbell's Healthy Select Chunky New England Clam Chowder for lunch. Haven't had Clam Chowder in ever so long. Now I remember why. Yuk! Won't buy it again...unless I live long enough to once again forget.
Had brown rice rather than lettuce with my veggies and tuna one supper this past week. Use to really enjoy it, but it just hasn't been the same since switching from frozen mixed veggies to fresh raw veggies, despite heating them enough to soften them just a tad. Rarely have rice at home anymore. This past Morning, on a lark, I bought a bottle of Prego Farmers' Market Four Cheese sauce. Boy does it go well with my rice, veggies, tuna combo! Super yummy. Haven't enjoyed supper so much if ages. (I like it so well I fully expect it to be discontinued within weeks.)
Was wrong about the Fuji's bought last Monday. Most are rather meh. Oddly, the best of the bunch were the very apples I expected the least from.
Bold:

** I have to agree with you on Campbell's New England Clam Chowder. I love New England Clam Chowder; and can't stand Campbell's version of it.
There are other brands that are better; but actually = I've never found a really good canned New England Clam Chowder. It just doesn't seem to hold up well canned. Even Progresso's isn't great (but a lot better than Campbell's).
It isn't the clams, they hold up very well in a can. I think it is the combination of the milk, potatoes, and clams being canned together; it just doesn't work well.
What I get when I want clams = I get a small can of Progresso brand "White Clam Sauce" and use it instead of Marinara sauce over Vermicelli. I put a nest of steamed broccoli on top of the Vermicelli on each plate; ladle the clam sauce over it to make sure to get a lot of clams in with the sauce; (in fact sometimes I add in a small tin of extra clams to the sauce when I heat it). Just as I'm serving it, I grate fresh Parmesan and Romano cheese over the top. You can't get a better meal than that in any Italian restaurant.
The fresh cheese just has such a wonderful flavor; and really makes a huge difference from using a pre-grated jar of something like "Kraft's Parmesan and Romano cheese" = but is more expensive. Sometimes the ladies at the grocery store Deli counter will cut me a smaller wedge of it than what size they normally sell; but if there are any leftovers = they do make an awesome addition to a salad.
Also, if you have any of the broccoli and fresh cheese left over from the dinner = makes a spectacular omelet the next day. I serve it with homemade hash browns; and my family loves that breakfast as much as they love the dinner (which they call "Green Spaghetti,"
Also, since you like tuna so much = (for a different meal) you can make a serving of Vermicelli and frozen peas (both cooked, of course). = Just before serving mix in tuna fish and just enough Mayo to keep the spaghetti from sticking to itself. It makes a great hot meal, and even the leftovers make a great snack. My son even eats it cold like a pasta salad.
I have to agree with you on the flavor of fresh vegetables versus frozen. Frozen vegetables are flash cooked at their peak of flavor. It is like it seals the flavor into them. The fresh ones are shipped and sit = somewhere in all that they lose that moment where the taste was perfect that frozen vegetables catches.
Not all vegetables suffer from it, but peas = I like them much better frozen.
