Ha! You never ate at my grandma's house then! There was some story in the
paper about botulism and canned green beans. She read it and freaked! Of
course this applied to home canned beans. But that's not what she used.
She bought the commercially canned. They were good because she cooked them
with bacon. But she literally cooked them all day. Put them on after
breakfast to be ready by dinner. You could eat them with a spoon.
