Question Hi,
One of my friend gave me three boxes of salmon jars. He said that he canned it several years ago. I tried one jar this afternoon. Just microwaved and ate it. It was good. I mean, with respect to taste itself, the salmon stew is still stable, I think. And,three hours after the consumption, I'm still O.K. What's your opinion? Do I need to stop consuming those
