Liver, fava beans, and red wine are three things that interact with a class of drugs known as MAOIs, early antidepressants that were sometimes used for personality disorders. If you eat those things and are on a MAOI it can kill you.
So the famous line from Silence of the Lambs,
"A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti."
...could have signaled that the patient was off his meds.
