"De gustibus non disputantum est"

..funny, I ate a lot of Spam as a kid...have barely tasted it since, but I don't mind it...just never need it. I ate it fried, with catsup (as a sandwich). Lima beans??? well, depends...'good' Lima beans are ok! (or Butter beans or Black-eyed peas))...but something about them really bothers some folk.

(I suppose Vienna Sausages are in the same 'ughhh' list?)

30 years ago I worked at a Stokley-Van Camp cannery/warehouse, and the crew ate a LOT of beans, Vienna sausages, canned fruit, canned chili...etc..usually in 8 oz. cans...you could put a can on the manifold of the fork lift or in the vanes of an overhead heater for 20 minutes and have instant lunch! I learned to eat butter beans right from the can with salt & pepper added from a little dispenser I carried.

EVERYONE had a P-38 army surplus can opener in their pocket, and some guys went for years without bringing linch.
