A couple or three years ago at work someone used some Twinings lemon herbal tea bags, which I had left there, with an expiry date of 2006 but I suppose those things last for ever!
I also used some ulong noodles recently which had lain in a cupboard for an indeterminate time as there was no date on the sealed package They were ok but will keep an eye on these in future as they are not like dried egg noodles
The oldest items are those tins on the bottom right….nearing their use by date next month…and those Nairns oatcakes have to be used by the end of February.
Have to stuff a few more tins in tomorrow….done a mainly tinned stuff shop shop with ASDA.
Glad it’s not just me who ‘forgets’ about stuff in the cupboards.
Yesterday I tidied one of food boxes, and other non food stuffs that kept threatening to jump out every time I opened the door, but found items at the back a good couple of years out of date. I have two jars that I need to open and discard. Might put a face mask on, as the smell of old food makes me gag. Yesterday I poured a mini bottle of wine down the sink, that was horrible.
My late best bud Rosi bought these for myself and future Hasbeen in 1966 they were of a set that hung on the kitchen wall for many years…Now down to these two above…they are used often still but kept in the cutlery draw…
I remember seeing made in China on them and thought to myself they will never last then!
I think the oldest thing I have is wine. Then the honey.
It gets on my wife’s nerves when I go through the pantry, frig and freezer and throw away things that have expired.
When I go through the freezer, all the meat I find that is old or has freezer burns, I cook it and the feed it to the dogs.
