There is a famous story about the British Museum finding a tin of meat from the Napoleonic Wars, circa 1812 sometime in the 1930's when it would have been 125 years old.
They opened it, smelled it, declared it was OK and fed it to the museum cat. The feline promptly chowed down on it and returned to her usual business of killing rodents which had invaded the building.

In Post 16 of this thread there’s a link with some interesting info. That same story was posted there, and the meat was (I think) veal, and it was from one of Admiral Perry’s expeditions.
The cat lives in both stories. :)
