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.

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

This weather is making the girls cranky, can't go two seconds without somebody pecking somebody else. I know it's cold, but do they got to be constant taters to each other? They're not crowded up,no reason for it they're just being taters.
