Official Squatch Watchers

Hey! It stopped snowing on BYC! Yay! I was starting to feel buried!
Didn't they start with tin can canning during a war , to feed the starving troops? Yeah, i thought they were working on it during Napoleons time.:thumbsup
Oh good... I was starting to feel like they were mocking us.
 
Serious question, to @rjohns39 , our historian....

What did the pioneers use to *can* foods? I mean, if I couldn't buy the metal lid and ring, I couldn't can for myself, correct?

Everyone beat me to it. Ever wonder why the french developed all those neat sauces? To cover up the taste of tainted meat. They would render the tallow and line a barrel with it, fry the beef and layer it in tallow, beef, etc... Check these guys out for reusable lids


Two great reads.
 
We'd already named them the Beans before they killed off the little one... We're gonna name one of them Tater though.

I wish Raes MD would feel better..... PIC keeps having a fever off and on... not sure if it's another growth spurt or if he's sick.... yeesh... it's getting tiresome... LMAO
