And I like corn with my tuna. I often make salad meals with corn and tuna. And yes, they definitely thought PB&J was the strangest thing ever. I lived in the dorms and shared a kitchen with about 10. And yeah, I usually had toast for breakfast but when when you do the big breakfast thing...DSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02141553728048956859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21883778.post-55315975606767400672007-05-04T11:40:00.000-04:002007-05-04T11:40:00.000-04:00Ryane: When I lived in London, I had to go to an ...Ryane: When I lived in London, I had to go to an "American" grocery store to get peanut butter to eat on my toast. That's also where I bought oreos. And grape kool-aid to mix with my vodka.<BR/><BR/>Justin: I learn something new every day, and sometimes it is through this blog. <BR/><BR/>More importantly, I would think that if you hate beans enough to throw them, you probably wouldn't be keeping them within your reach.

Amazing the turns comments threads can take.<BR/><BR/>For the record, I hate baked beans. I'd throw them too.Justin S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15041223839215625638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21883778.post-22563309493500467572007-05-04T08:10:00.000-04:002007-05-04T08:10:00.000-04:00HAHA.

With eggs, with baked potatos, with chili. Umm.. tinned beans for breakfast---N.O. And Dara, I remember the corn in tuna fish, as well!! haha. Those crazy brits. Meanwhile, they thought I was nuts for eating PB&J, so who knows.Ryanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06535463704571035144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21883778.post-69525056564835510472007-05-03T12:44:00.000-04:002007-05-03T12:44:00.000-04:00Justin: Yes, Mr. Bean would have been more approp...Justin: Yes, Mr. Bean would have been more appropriate.<BR/><BR/>DSL: On the rare occasions that I ate breakfast, I had toast in my flat. And I generally ate pub food -- which didn't involve beans -- for my other meals. Admittedly, that was probably a matter of personal preference -- I'll only eat them at barbecues with hot dogs.<BR/><BR/>Still, I don't remember there being a lot of beans. What I do remember is sweet corn. Like when I ordered a tuna sandwich and found corn mixed in the tuna.darahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12523353095030819242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21883778.post-78216737548199454262007-05-03T12:33:00.000-04:002007-05-03T12:33:00.000-04:00I didn't know that.

I mean, if I was going to hit someone with something off my desk, it would either be antibacterial hand lotion or a can of cashews. That's pretty random, but still not as random as beans.<BR/><BR/>DSL: I don't know. I honestly don't recall seeing any baked beans during my semester in London.

Was he saving them special for that occasion? Or, were they merely a last-minute option he grabbed from the fridge?<BR/><BR/>Just so random. Baked beans???!!Ryanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06535463704571035144noreply@blogger.com
