ZOMG! We has a fucking cellar!
We were talking with our landlord today, and what we thought was just a closet under the stairs turns out to be a descent into a full blown cellar. I mean who fucking knew? We were like "WTF!?!?" when we found out. So we cleared out all of the storage and went down... and what did we find? 40+ year old preserves!
I kid you not, some of these things were so old that when we cracked the jars they were highly fermented... And smelled so much of alchohol it's not funny.
The positive side? We now have about 12 jars that are all from the 1960s or earlier. :D Including an old brown jug like you see hillbillies always having with moonshine, and a beer bottle from a really old company right here in BC. It was pretty cool.
We cleaned them all out and after a little chat with an antiques dealer, it would seem that some of them have some real value.
