I’d definitely be checking that flour rigorously for mites and the like but otherwise, yeah.

Tea is obviously the right answer here.

Bought a Christmas pudding in 2010 with a date in Feb 2011. Ate it in 2017 and it was obviously delicious.

Mites can turn up any time, they tend to ignore “best before” dates.

Actually had you pegged for, “They’re killed by the baking and just provide extra protein,” answer.

I love a good matured oyster.

There’s a pub in Newcastle that does out of date bottles labelled as ‘Top Shelf Swag’.

Oftentimes chugging down an out of date IPA can be a gruelling experience.

Waffly versatile!

If I never ate anything past its use-by date I’d waste so much food. I don’t mess with meat (that’s what a freezer is for) but:

  • veg is fine until it goes / soft / black / whatever
  • cheese is fine until it goes blue (trickier with blue cheese admittedly)
  • other dairy varies. If it’s not been open long and it smells alright then yeah, go for it.

Milk can be a bit iffy but then we get through about 4 pints every day and a half in our family anyway. Bread suffers past its sell-by date but you can use it for toast / breadcrumbs.

Sniff it, squeeze it, fuck it, cook it, eat it.

On Sunday 12th May 2019 I cooked some bacon that not only had a date of Wednesday 8th May 2019, but had been open in the fridge for in excess of a week.

Thought you were about to tell the bacon at Glastonbury story that I’ve heard 10,000 times, here :roll_eyes:

oh no, I’m saving that one for a much more relevant time, just like I normally do.

Most of our store cupboard stuff is not that old cause we had a food moth infestation and had to get rid of everything. Before that it was ants, which seemed to love stock cubes

#71

Which one is that (so I can avoid…)?

Had a bottle of something by… Pressure Drop that went well past date, it was about 90% foamier than I expected when I opened it without realising.

It is the Tyne down the Ouseburn.

It’s actually a really nice pub if you avoid the dreaded top shelf swag.

I ate a garlic baguette that was 6 days past its sell by date the other day. I’m fine.
