"Corrosion" in tin of baked beans - normal?

[TonyRPH]

I opened a tin of baked beans at lunch - and after emptying out the contents, notice corrosion* at the bottom of the tin.

Is this normal?

• well, it's more like discolouration of the metal.

Real corrosion can lead to botulism, as Fray Bentos found out. Very, very bad.

They weren't a rustic style bean, were they?

Can it you two.

Balls!

Do you have access to a woman? You could always check her bean to find out if it does any damage?

I hope that PH has answered your question...

Yep. Eat it and wait for the cheque in the post.


You might die before it arrives though

Careful guys, wouldnt want to hurt anybodys feelings, this could be a sauce subject.

It would be-an awful shame to waste them but I wouldn't eat from a rusty can.

I wouldn't even pick it up in case I cut my Heinz.

[CypherP]

OP, which variety of baked beans were these?

[PHuzzy]

At least it was beans and not peas.

Imagine having Rust In Peas on your gravestone.
