I think the word you're looking for is ,,, preserving ,,, food. My
grandparents preserved all kinds of stuff in glass preserve jars ,,,
venison, moose, mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, potatoes etc), various
fruit. Dried fruit is easy to come by these days. Powdered milk tastes not
too bad these days. And there's all kinds of canned stuff ,,, remove the
paper labels (and mark the cans contents to avoid those chef's surprise type
meals). But if you think I'd eat 8 month old oil dipped cheese out of sight
of a hospital, ferget it :-)

Hi

Having read that cheese could be stored in oil for long periods I
tried this and found that hard cheese (cheddar) in vegetable oil was
still OK after 8 months (tested at home).

Has anyone else any tips for other long term storage without a fridge
or ice box? Can other items be stored in oil or other mediums?

Regards

Steve
