Birds Eye Steam Fresh Veg

~ First: a disclaimer. I have never seen the variety pictured above, with asparagus, baby carrots and green beans. Nor have I seen the only other alternative vegetable variety version with chunky carrots, calliflower florets and green beans. I have only seen, and thus purchased, the variety I am discussing: SteamFresh® veg "Broccoli Florets, Chunky Carrots & Sweetcorn" (now with "New Chunkier Veg Pieces").
