The Venerable Bede--now at a store near you
So I was doing the crossword puzzle at work today, and one of the clues was, "choice of soup." It had a lot of letters, and when I had a few strategic ones filled in--the "v," a few "e"'s, maybe the "ble"-- I really thought the answer was "Venerable Bede." You know, the church father from the 7th/8th century. I don't know how I could have thought that, it's just what sprang to mind given the letters I had. It turns out that the correct answer was "vegetable beef."
Should this bother me, that an obscure-ish church father would come to mind more readily than a popular kind of soup?

Well, of course it's insane, you know. I stick to comic book characters on crossword puzzles. Which explains why I never finish the things....
I'll admit that I had to look up the Venerable Bede at Wikipedia.
