Question: What is the only food that never spoils, even after thousands of years?

Answer: Honey. Due to its low water content, high acidity, and the presence of hydrogen peroxide (a natural preservative produced by bees), honey can remain edible for thousands of years when stored in a sealed container. Archaeological finds, such as pots of honey from ancient Egyptian tombs over 3,000 years old, have been discovered still perfectly preserved and safe to eat.

It’s a heck of an investment too.  I bought a couple jars from the lady down in the bottoms several years ago and they have probably doubled or tripled in price since then.
