But it doesn’t tell us what kind of beans!
Baked beans, green beans, navy beans, pinto beans, the list is endless.
I suppose it would only make a difference if they opened the can first.

It is a grievous oversight, but that’s Citizen for you.

Anyone serving supermarket sushi needs to be arrested for assault.

Eh, depends. I see nothing wrong with a grab & go California roll.

Seems to me I remember reading about a woman who successfully defended herself from an attacker by hitting him with a very large zucchini/courgette. Or was it an eggplant?

Either could do some damage!
Lamb to the Slaughter, a short story by Roald Dahl. Should I ever need to “dispose” of my spouse, it will totally be with a nice leg of lamb.

Yes! I remember that. Forgot who wrote it, though.
After a life of intrepid exploits and hair-breadth escapes, the incident that led to Bobby Leach’s death seems like one of those ironies of fate that bestrew the pages of ancient fiction. Mr. Leach had just concluded a lecturing tour in New Zealand and was strolling along the pavement close to his flat on Princes Street when he slipped on an orange peel and broke his leg. Complications set in and on Monday the leg was amputated, but the patient weakened and died.
New Zealand Herald, April 1926

Wegman’s has a huge sushi department. They will also make to order. A premade roll in a place without people making the sushi, though … no thanks.
Hi, I’ll have this pack of sushi with a large Slurpee … nope!
A couple of family owned groceries here that do huge catering businesses also have people at counters making sushi. So does Whole Foods, though all of their prepared stuff has declined in quality and selection since the Amazonization, IMO. I expect it soon to look like an Automat. 
And Citizen is severely lacking in details…

Does that include Tokyo Central Market? Asking for a friend.

I remember an old Alfred Hitchcock TV show where the murder weapon, a frozen leg of lamb, was roasted and served to the investigating office by the murdering wife. A tasty plot, indeed
Which of course, recalls the Hitchcock Hour episode “Specialty of the House,” a rare dish at a dining club where I would avoid being invited for dinner.

You guys have me beat. My grandfather was a vaudevillian, but I just can’t keep up. …
Just recalled the movie, Eating Raoul, which came out in the early 80’s. IIRC, people were killed with a frying pan instead of actual food.

This seems as good a place as any to mention the foreign murder mystery we were watching the other night, where the victim got it in the back of the head several times, with a Le Creuset ECI saucepan. Nice product placement.

Oh that’s too funny! Product placement indeed.
My favorite food movie!

I remeber a news story 15-20 years ago…guy walked up to the checkout in a local grocery on Thanksgiving Day and put a family-sized can of baked beans on the conveyor. As the clerk was ringing him up he exposed himself to her, laying his member on the conveyor belt.
She calmly picked up the can of beans (family size is 32oz/1kg or bigger) and dealt with the situation…he was still on the floor when the police arrived.
