I used to have canned corn in the house, but switched to frozen... that
tends to get used more as a staple rather than desperation... I agree
about beets and beans, but don't usually have them around, except as the
canned salads for the latter...  I do have cans of baked beans that
might be considered desperation foods...  ;)

Yes, it was...

That is a relief... Of course, one would more expect the high standards
to be found at the newer places, than at (sad to say) places such as
Williamsport... or Ithaca...  although it does still surprise me some
that those have slipped so much...
