Seems kind of obvious at first glance, but can we do some digging? Eggs need refrigeration, right? Maybe not, seems as though we may have been led to believe they do? I read most of the world doesn't refrigerate eggs. What else? I remember way back when we had this tiny, (by today's standards) refrigerator with a tiny freezer in the upper compartment. Loads of home canned meats, fruits, and vegetables in the cellar along with salted/smoked meats, usually deer taken for crop damage.
Non ice refrigeration came along at the turn of the 19th-20th century, but ice remained common for several decades. "Ice boxes" served for many years prior. Can we safely replicate non cold food storage of the ACW and before?
