While I've never sought out canning websites, I've seen a lot of posts over the years on different forums where people get all excited about canning or 'canning season'. If I had to guess, its probably in the 100's.

YET.....

I have not seen ONE post from someone all excited to open up and eat something they canned years earlier. NOT ONE. shruggy

Is canning much like sitting on a lake fishing? It's not the need but the moment?

What I have seen however are 'urban explorers' that explore long abandoned houses with canned goods still in the basement. work

When all the shelves went bare last year people who canned had food to eat. It's a way of providing for yourself that doesn't require dependence on others.

You can can just about any food. Meat, fruits, veggies, soup, jams jellies, preserves, etc. Not much glamor in it, but a sense of satisfaction being able to provide for yourself. Much like the old saying about teaching a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime.
