: : A farmer with a lot of corns may say,"We eat what we can; what we can't, we___." What word is in the blank?

: : Thanks to all of you

: : I would say "sell."

It's an old American joke. "We eat what we can; what we can't, we can." The British version is "We eat what we can; what we can't, we put up in tins."
