First time we went to this ice cream shop in almost 3.5 years 

The price went from $1.99 a scoop to $7.49 and the ice cream parlor went from 9A to midnight (very busy part of denver) to 1P to midnight and it was empty when normally it was very busy with a line 

It was tasty but also seemed different somehow, not as rich/creamy possibly

Was a total letdown, brisket was almost like roast beef and the burnt ends were pork belly that was not rendered out enough 

Bark was bland on both meats & the BBQ sauces were not that wonderful with the mustard one being the best but still lacking. The sides were good but not drop dead delicious

Survival Food Review: Expired Can Food - Part 7: Chili With Beans!



Bottom line: In the can the chili smell was faint with a slight nutty note. Some of the fat was on the surface. Straight out of the can it was very bland but not actually bad. I ate it for supper and survived.

My doctor used medihoney on a lesion that I've been using triple antibiotic ointment on.  It's too early to tell if it's better, but it made me think.  Honey has strong antibiotic properties and has even been found in the ancient tombs in Egypt, still in fine shape. 
After wading through puff pieces by vendors I found some info from the NIH that indicates it has some advantages over triple antibiotic ointment.  Evidently it's made using a specific honey but in a pinch I'm thinking regular honey  would be better than nothing as a topical antibiotic.
