    While not food related, I actually have some neat links to videos that are related to the Canadian mining history aspect of this article. One of my favorite YouTubers, Aquachigger, who is an American explorer/caver/metal-detectorist/treasure hunter, has actually come up here to Ontario a few times to join some locals (meMiner and Ty Olsen) to hunt for "relics" at the old silver mines and miner camps/dumps in Cobalt. Here is a random assortment of the videos from his trips, for anyone interested:
