I am sick of ignorant people dumping on preppers - saying we are hoarders, full of fear, and have an arsenal of assault weapons we can't wait to use to kill people.
We are regular people who prepare so our families will be taken care of should nature happenstance (hurricane, earthquake, tornado, ice storm, etc.) or electronics stop working or power stops working, or water stops coming out of the faucet. It is a fact anything manmade will stop working at times and have to be repaired.
In earlier times, our mothers/grandmothers/fathers/grandfathers, had big gardens and food was canned to have a supply. Very few people garden these days - they get it at the store. When I buy cans of food I am doing the same as my parents/grandparents did - they canned it themselves, I bought it at the store - it is the same thing - a supply of food to have on hand.
A pox on people who harass preppers. :o)
Your post reminded me of something I’ve been meaning to ask people who can and preserve.
We just got back from grocery shopping, and we made our umpteenth futile search to find a corn relish called Nance’s. Stores around here used to carry it, but now I can’t find it anywhere nearby. (It’s canned in glass, so it’s not something one would really want to order online.)
Is anyone familiar with it, and perhaps know of a similar recipe? I’ve tried some recipes, but there’s always something missing...
