Related to cans, can openers and canning: Marinara sauce, that red stuff we put in or on all sorts of things, particularly pasta, gets its name from the people it was developed for and intended to feed - mariners. Tomatos and tomato sauce, being so acidic, can easily. To my knowledge (quite limited in this, but voluiminous in completely useless areas - I'm a veritable plethora of useless information) is that marinara sauce was the first "canned" food. I guess sailors of yore lived on pasta, marinara sauce and limes. Uncle Nasty Uncle Nasty
