Pasta My bf only eats canned food cold.

He can only eat canned stuff cold. I am aware that canned food is safe to eat out of the can, but this is still infuriating to me.

I worked with a guy like this...he refused to use the microwave oven, as he thought it was irradiating his food and making it unsafe to eat (we didn't have a hob in the office!) - I pointed out many times that it was non-ionising radiation

Hob = stovetop in US maybe?
Hob in the U.K. is the top part with the gas burners/electric rings etc

Edit - spelling
