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.

Commercial tomatoes taste metallic to me, it's not pleasant.
However, my palate is suspect, because I will happily eat condensed split pea soup out of the can.

Thrive to spite them
Some people can get weird when I say I don't like tomatoes (or coffee) they try to convert me. "You've just never had one fresh off the vine!" Except my DAd grew tomatoes for most of the time I was growing up and I had them fresh off the vine (and when I was really little my parents ate a lot of green tomatoes because I'd "help" and pick the wrong ones.)
With coffee people try to find something coffee flavored I'd like tiramsu! Ice Cream! coffee milk shake drink that Starbucks sells. Nope. I don't like them because they taste like coffee. Although I do like the smell of brewing coffee. Except in Starbucks, I've only been in Starbucks a few times and smelled bad every time.

I love the smell of coffee. Of course, I also love coffee. And tomatoes. Although I think I'm mostly past the stage of insisting that other people should like the things I like.
However even the smell of coffee is not enough to cover the smell of skunk spray that apparently happened under the building over the weekend while I was gone for a family wedding.
And every unit in the building smells like skunk spray all through apartment. It's giving me a massive headache.
