My ex has a taste for 'fish sauce'...once I told him where to find it in DC/Balt..his effing boat smells like fish sauce now.. ewwww..
What can I say, he was once one of 'Uncle Sam's Misguided Children"...
Putting helos into impossible places and getting it out in one piece was his speicalty..
It is truly amazing what people will eat when they are hungry... btw... cans are good as long as they don't have rust or bulge. Open it up, IF the prior criteria is met.. smell if it, smells off... be carefu.. otoh... stuff that smells funny can be due to age or how it was packed.. can still be good..I am not that adventurous though.
I recall reading, back in the 1980's, in the Rocky Mtn News about a cache of canned goods found in what appeared to be a winter camp had canned peaches that were still good..I believe they were dated to the late 1800's.
