The horror, the suffering!!!!
My impression was that most Americans DON'T regularly eat lots of Lima beans for a reason...don't know what they were thinking when they packaged it in a can with ham, what did they think the reaction would be??

Then again, the same guys also produced eggs and ham in a can....sorry, but eggs typically are NOT eaten out of a can for a reason.

And if you don't believe me, you should have seen and read the comments U.S. servicemembers made about the (now discontinued) MRE entree "Cheese and Vegetable Omelette". Some have compared it to trying to eat rubber...others have compared it to eating puke.
