She collected extinct foods--not expired, thank you, though she recognized the natural overlap in the two categories--whose manufacturers had abandoned them as outdated relics or failed experiments. Her huge chest freezers and pantries contained foods in mint-condition packaging, sorted by date of last production, ranging from Squeezafroos (June 3, 1993) to canned Cream of Carp soup (February 25, 1904) to limited edition Forager Style Spam (September 12, 1938). With one bite, she would be transported by more than mere nostalgia to another age, somewhere along the timeline of each lost food, and she could wander as a gustatory time traveler for however long the taste lingered on her tongue.
