But you heat it up first. I generally just take a can out of the cuppard, remove the lid, and enjoy.

Eating out of the can is OK, there are some nasties in the metal if you leave food in an open can and then eat it later, but if you eat it straight away you'll be fine.

Mowgli, I hate to break it to you but you should worry less about the apple trees growing in your stomach and more about the arsenic content of the seeds. Not good. And its why Scrumpy makes cider drunks numb, wet themselves and get streaky veins all over them...

My food weirdness involves 2-minute noodles. When I feel that 2 minutes is too long to wait for a meal, I crush up the noodles, open the pack, add the salty flavour sachet and snack away... mmmmmm-MSG.

I love english food. Everyone in this country thinks that is not only abnormal but freaky and suicidal. Damn frogs.

I didn't know it, but Wikipedia is a wonderful source of information!

I tend to eat every part of the apple too and I have heard about this so I looked it up:

Apparently, it's cyanide and in such small amounts that it's harmless. It's not even necessarily released into the body.

Awww... and here I was all excited about possible building a cyanide tolerance

I've heard it's possible to build up a tolerance to arsenic. Apparantely high society ladies a couple of hundred years ago took small doses of arsenic to get that oh-so-chic white skin. After a while they had such a tolerance that they could murder people with arsenic in the food, and still safely eat the same meal.

Speaking of easter, making yourself sick and abnormal food, here's one wicked site the knowledge of which was bestowed upon me by a holy carrot.

I once red an entire report about people even getting addicted to arsenic, like they would on heroine - only that arsenic withdrawal would kill you much more likely. I'm not sure that's true, but suddenly the fact that heroine is sometimes stretched with arsenic in small doses made more sense, in a way.

Arsenic was given relatively liberally in form of many medications, and the report say the withdrawal symptoms may have led to a lot of wives being accused of poisoning husbands that had actually become addicted to their cough mixture.
