What's the most out of date food you've used



tin of soup. 4 years out of date

cauppa soup 2 years out of date but looked and smeeled funny so binned that off.

Thought i had won lotto at work as the machine bloke had put 2 mars bars in the one number. 120 later 2 mars bars both a month out of date. tasted fine but bit of pisstake

Try bacon that is 3 weeks past its use by date. If it looks and smells ok then it’s fine. We waste far too much food because of these dates.

When I was a lad we used to buy bacon from the Co-op that was sliced off a large joint while you waited. God only knows how long it had been there. Wrapped in grease proof paper. Stored in the larder - no fridge.

Just saying. There was no food waste problem in those days.

Kebabs are similar really. Who knows how many days they are there in and out of the fridge and heated/cooled down.

Exactly this marra.....its a marketing ploy to get folk to rebuy.

I did an Indian cookery lesson a few years back. Anyway, I remember feck all about how to cook but I remember the chefs saying that the older rice was then the better got.

Almost compared it to whisky and how that matures in time. Yet people through that (and other).food stuff straight into the bin.
