Cold canned soup & spinach??? SHUDDER!!

Green & Yellow beans, cut, whole or French styled? Bring 'em on.

Canned Asparagus? Is there any way to eat those but cold? I'd rather have
fresh, but since that's only rarely possible around here, I keep a few cans
of spears for when I get a hankering. Then it's the entire can, cold.

Baby corns? stir fries only

Black olives? I'll eat black olives till they come out my ears (I'm built
funny). Side note: When I go to Subway I watch the 2 or 3 people ahead of
me to see what they're ordering on their subs then I tell the person making
mine "Heavy on the black olives. Those last 3 people didn't take any, put
their share on my sandwich, please." Sometimes it works, sometimes it
doesn't. My favorite counter guy used to add the mustard first then use it
to hold the load of olives he'd put on. Ultimately, I paid for those olives
with the extra tip he got.

Chick peas, just rinsed then sprinkled with a bit of Italian dressing. Yum!

Canned tomatoes with lots of freshly cracked pepper.
