Is that where you keep your harem.

Even they may be unsalvageable ....

If it says 1066 chuck 'em.

Those people who automatically assume that you are going to give them a lift whenever there’s a family event.

When we cleared out grandads kitchen cupboards after he died, we found stuff that went out of date in 2011. He died in 2022.

Fireworks, driving my dog to a state of sheer terror.
She's 12½ years old and has just been diagnosed as having a heart murmur.
Just hoping she makes it through the night!

She made it, but it obviously wiped her out as she didn't even want to go for a walk!
But maybe that was the weather.

I had a buddy that was making himself a meat sandwich. His wife looked at the past due date on the meat and questioned his choice. He said, “Dear, it says best before, not lethal after!”

I think I was ‘best before’ 1988.

Use By will be a while (hopefully) but Best Before is long gone.....

You don't normally get both. It's either or

Best before you can eat

Use by chuck if passed

Things like dried pasta never used to have dates on. I'd have used it.

My wife frequently sorts the fridge contents and separates the food into
1 stuff thats "ok" and,
2 "sh*t that you can eat before I bin it.
I then binge out of spite.

How long before 1988?

I did a bit of looking up after realising there was stuff in the larder over 30 years old. So some of it is still in there. Not sure why though for some of it as I will never use it anyway e.g sugar

When I bought my first house in 1990 I visited a spice store in the city centre nearby and bought myself a large packet of chilli powder. I filled a large old Nescafé jar and gave the rest away. It’s hot stuff.

I reckon I’ve cooked a chilli at least once a week in the 35 years since and I’ve still got 1/2 the jar left. Reckon it’ll outlast me.

Food storage mites

 

[Sid Rixon IV]

We had a mouse in the kitchen years ago and it had wandered through the food cupboard (above the work tops and oven!).
I spotted a dropping.
My wife decimated the cupboard contents whilst I tried to rationally argue that canned food was perfectly safe.
Her response was "Not if a mouse has been walking all over it!!"
I lost that one.
