Consumables

We stopped at the Desoto National Wildlife Refuge on the banks of the Missouri River, and had a look at the cargo from a steamboat that sank in the 1860's. Over a hundred years later, it was found buried in a field (the river having changed course in the meantime) and excavated. Every Friday since then they've had a tasting party with the canned food that was dug up*, but oddly enough they don't seem to be running out of it.
*This is completely untrue.
