We thought about many things at our Harvest Thanksgiving on Sunday. One thing we thought about was perishability. How long would anything last that was on display?
Typically, the Star of the Show - homemade bread without preservatives - though much admired was deemed to be the first to go in the perishability stakes. So we ate it for harvest Lunch, which was very nice. It seems that so many wonderful things just don't have the legs to last (or in the case of food items get legs and for that reason don't last . . .).
What, though, would last the longest? "Canned stuff", was the general answer. The question was spontaneous, so I am quite proud (sorry) that I may have even got the answer right as I looked at the display and made my own guess - Bisto. The combination of being sealed and dried and salty makes it almost everlasting - certainly half a lifetime. Not much fun compared to homemade bread though.
Then there is the honey for your soul:
My son, eat honey, for it is good, and the drippings of the honeycomb are sweet to your taste. Know that wisdom is such to your soul; if you find it, there will be a future, and your hope will not be cut off.
