Sampling the "local" foods

I finally broke down and tried the canned corned beef and hash that I bought out of curiosity 3 weeks ago... it was nasty. Turns out however, it can be made edible, as was proved to me by my friend Hideyo. He cooked it with the ramen noodles and green beans and it suddenly became quite tasty. Lesson learned: don't eat canned meats straight from the can.
