How this list is ordered

48 foods in this category have a page here, ranked by the longest figure each row prints, longest first. 2 foods here share the top at up to 3 years in the pantry and 4 foods share the bottom at 1–2 days in the pantry. 1 page here (Pies) has no single figure to rank by, so it sits at the end without a place in the order.
