I have a real fondness for canned vegetables, and drink the brine they are packed in. Not to the exclusion of the same thing fresh, but if I'm craving, say, canned green beans then fresh won't scratch that itch. I don't generally put much salt in my food, but when that's what I want, that's what I want, I guess.
Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

I didn't grow up with canned vegs at all. My grandparents' mushy vegs freaked me out. Well, dad's side, mom's are farmers. Even their canned (jarred) stuff was crisp.

I didn't realize I liked peas, until I realized that fresh or frozen peas taste completely different from the canned ones.

We had them as part of our hurricane supplies, along with Spam and Vienna sausages, which I also sporadically desire.
Huh, those cravings make more sense than I thought.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
I stayed far, far away from string beans into adulthood until I realized that fresh ones were so different from the canned ones.

I think of canned and fresh asparagus as entirely different vegetables. I like them both.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
That was me and tomatoes. I still order food without tomatoes because they likely won't be ripe. A real, ripe tomato was a revelation to me.

That's how I feel about green beans (and Kraft Parmesan cheese/actual Parmesan cheese, though I do not think of them as vegetables).

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
Well, my sister said it was goat... if it wasn't, then I haven't had goat, and lamb tastes better in a gyro than on a plate in an Irish pub.
Well there's your problem, eating Irish food. Should have stuck to the Guinness.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Mostly I stuck to fish and chips.
