Heh. I've never had the need for an electric can opener, but there are
some canned goods I buy and use quite often e.g. canned tomatoes
(usually chopped); that works fine for stuff like meat sauce for pasta.
Canned tuna fish also comes to mind and I like canned peaches. Then
there's coconut milk, which we often use if we're making a Thai-type
curry. Sosueme.

I've never figured out what people see in canned peas or potatoes tho'.
And don't get me started on canned asparagus... a.k.a. "Elephant snot".
Blech.
