You don't buy it.

Mirepoix is onion, celery, carrot, chopped. That's it.

Mirepoix. Sorry, ya gotta make it yourself.

That's so not true, Pup O' Noodles - Mirepoix is a Yu-Gi-Oh character. Duh.

See also.

And I've never understood it, because my brain translates mirepoix as "Look at the peas!"

It looks like you can buy it, but it seems much cheaper (and easy) to make.

Oh that's so sad :-(

mgl, me too!

There's always VegAll.

But beware the VegAll fraud....

Please be advised that the toll free telephone number, 800-882-8356, listed on some Veg-All labels is no longer a working telephone number. This 800-telephone number is not associated with Allen Canning Company or Agrilink Foods and instead forwards the caller to an international 900-telephone number, which charges the caller $9.99 per minute. Again, this telephone number is in no way associated with Allen Canning Company or Agrilink Foods. If you need to reach Allen Canning Company, please contact us through our feedback form on this web-site or write to us at Allen Canning Company PO Box 250 Siloam Springs, AR 72761. Allen Canning Company cannot be held liable for any charges incurred as a result of calling the 900-telephone number.

Thank you for your cooperation.

As bad as canned veggies often are, Veg-All is some seriously nasty shit. It's like the Dinty Moore Beef Stew of the canned vegetable world.

Living a bit farther away from the overflowing cornucopia of fresh produce and food that is California, I have gained an unexpected appreciation for the stability of canned fruits and veggies.

But, Christ, I don't know how people live like this. All the fresh produce here is all nappy, wilted, and dead looking. The produce sections in stores are like half the size of the ones I'm used to, and they all suck, even the upscale stores. Don't even get me started on the mushrooms.

Anyways. Veg-All. Eww. Yuck. Pasty, mealy, tasteless and colorless niblets of mush trying to pretend they were once vegetables.

Yet someone respected VegAll enough to perpetuate a fraud with their 800 number. I mean, that's enterprise.

I developed a taste for VegAll when I was a kid and I haven't ever been able to shake it. It's yummy in chicken pot pie, and I MUST try out the recipe for "chicken a la VegAll" that they have on their website.

Mirepoix – the carrot and onion mixture used for sauces and garnishes is thought to be named after the Duc de Lévis-Mirepoix, 18th-century marshal of France and one of Louis XV's ambassadors. Bit o' the trivia.
