Number 5: not tuna. Sardines and Mackeral. Costco has both and often on sale. They are like miracle foods and because they have a short life and are low on the food chain, there is a LOT les mercury to worry about.

Liquor is food?

Lol!

I regularly use stuff that has expired with caution of course....with canned tomato products I boil them for at least 10" before using them...

sugar and salt should remain safe forever if kept cool and dry and away from pests....

Liquor is food?

Actually a vegetable. Very nutritious.

Spam. 2 to 5 years. But so what?

Blecch

Oats are another good one. It can be tossed into soups to add bulk.

Split peas/lentils would fall under beans, but they are a bit easier to cook

Canned tuna is good for two years.

Think Liquor will definitely be needed to keep us sane!!!!! They are definitely going to work on our minds while we are quarantined.

So are the other two (if not a lot longer), and they are a LOT better for you. Google it. It’s pretty fascinating.

Indefinite: Onions, honey, ghee, rice, and... liquor. How about beef jerky/Slim jims?

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

I really like barley.

One isn’t quite near starvation if a “blecch” is involved.

I just checked one of the tins. They are good for about four years.

Slim-jims can be used as rodent bait in a pinch if you want them to die of high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease.

#5 Honey. I kept bees a while back. As I was clearing out my garage I found a 5 gallon bucket of honey with the date 1984 on it. I opened it up expecting to find a crystalized solid mass. To my surprise it was still liquid. It was dark, but as I recalled it was dark when I harvested it. Tasted just fine.

Yes it IS food. Do you know what liquor breaks down into when consumed?
