What's some tasty non-perishable food?

[Pandamonium]

I'm in college and this is the first time my meal plan isn't big enough for me to have every meal on campus. If I'm in a rush, what's some food that stores well but also tastes good with little preparation.

So far, I've got:

Ramen & similar
Chef Boyardee
Spaghetti-O's

Coincidentally, this is the first time I'm trying canned food- it's not too bad. Do you have any suggestions for delicious canned food?

I lived off spaghetti noodles, butter, and garlic salt my last 2 years of college.

With the occassional Ramen thrown in for good measure.

Oh, and beer, lotsa beer.

ALL food is perishable. ALL of it.

The longer the shelf life, the less healthy it is for you.

Tins of clams/oysters.
Vienna sausages.

Well, technically yes. Unless you count salt...

But lots of foods will keep for fifty years just fine.

Baaah, tell it to the bees:

Q: Does honey have an expiration date?

Honey stored in sealed containers can remain stable for decades and even centuries! However, honey is susceptible to physical and chemical changes during storage; it tends to darken and lose its aroma and flavor or crystallize. These are temperature-dependent processes, making the shelf life of honey difficult to define. For practical purposes, a shelf life of two years is often stated. Properly processed, packaged and stored honey retains its quality for a long time.

It does become inedible eventually, so KarenMarie is technically correct.
