Out of date food (1 Viewer)

[skybluejelly]

just reading an article that says a million households have food in there freezer over 10 years old... just wondered what the oldest food was anyone has eaten...I am personally of the ,if it smells ok eat it brigade .. and I once ate a tin of madarins that still had 2d on the tin instead of pence so must have been pre decimal currency, so was about 40 years at the time in 2010, and they tasted fine

Prior to a night on the town me and my mate once drank a can of Watneys party 7 which must have been at least a decade old.

He found it at the back of a cupboard. Washed it down with poteen so that probably killed any bacteria.

Surely if you work in such a place, you are never off woth bad guts, it should be a migraine or something...

Not if they pay you full pay to sit in the sun once you have been on the throne.

I'm exactly the same, i have just finished a jar of Branston pickle that was 4 years out of date and had matured beautifully. I often eat food weeks out of date and yogurts that are months out of date. I have a tin of rice pudding in the cupboard that is about 3 years out of date that I won on a tombola, should be ready for eating within the next year.

I usually just smell it and if it is ok just eat it.

A lot of stuff has 'best before' on it so that I usually don't mind going over with,a workmate was off and a horrid smell was emanating from his locker so me and another inspected the bag in there,it had a date five days previous with southern fried chicken breast on the label,we opened it up and nearly threw up as it had just bones and maggots
