True story. Meat canning was invented during the Napoleonic Wars. A London Museum found a well preserved tin in the basement in the mid 1930s over 115 years old.

Being curious about the longevity of such things, they fed it to one of the cats which the museum kept for rodent control. The cat suffered no ill effects.

Lasting even longer than canned food is the dried food. I have stuff in my basement with advertised 25 years of shelf life. There is no danger in eating it even after that time (as long as it remains sealed and dry). The major problem is the loss of flavor.

I believe it. There is an item, canned ham, from DAK I believe, that has NO shelf life marked on it. You can buy it in Walmart, nearly anywhere. I have several cans.

That is why ‘we’ invented salt, pepper, garlic salt, garlic pepper etc...

Used to figure that with a bottle of hot sauce and a person being hungry enough, horse apples may be edible...<: <:

Hot Sauce + anything - edible...
