When I was a kid my grandmother went to hospital to have a hysterectomy. Being a child I was protected from an explanation which I would have been unable to comprehend. However I did get an answer when I asked my grandmother why she had to go for an operation. She told me that she'd eaten a tin of cold baked beans. I was six and after that explanation I never EVER entertained the idea of eating tinned beans until I saw steam coming off them. My first mouthfull of cold beans was in my teens.
