Just been through my mums cupboards.....

[Sparks!]

To be honest I've never really been in the kitchen other than for coffee, cold beer or pizza, but my nan has been taken into hospital so my mum goes there after work every night which means I'm practically living on my own now... so I went through the cupboards today to work out what I needs to go buy....but what I found was a bit suprising...!

ALL of this is out of date! some of it back to 2007!

Think I'll be keeping my eye on the cupboards in future

And NO, the calendar is not mine

2007? It'll all still be fine, man up and make a sandwich!

Consumers are being duped, as best before and use before dates now have to be put on everything. On the whole the best thing to do is use common sense and take a look at the food stuff before just discarding as more often than not the food will be in perfect condition still.

For example the tinned products are seriously unlikely to be tainted in any way.

...............and remember Mum's know best!! Cheeky!!

Haha, can tell you have never lived on your own. I hope you didn't throw it all out because you'll probably get an earful off your mum. From what I can see in that lot, none of it will suffer for being 3 years out of date except maybe what looks like cranberry sauce/jam, but probably only if it's already been opened, the rest will be just fine.

I thought this was going to be a "Dressing up " Thread

I had a tin of beans that "expired" in 1998 last month. They were fine.

Man the fuck up.

In Mozam the power went off at 10 and came back at 7, in fucking Africa. We still kept chicken in the freezer for months and still ate it. No one died. Makes me laugh now when people panic about a 2 hour powercut.

Properly frozen stuff will last forever aswell. Seriously. If I could leave food alone long enough, I'd so prove this.

Tinned food also, will never ever die.

Man the fuck up, it's a recession, go 'risk' it

Seriously, what's the worst that can actually happen?

I've eaten stuff that was ten years out of date and drank beer that was 7 years out of date that I found buried in the woods.

The dates are a dupe to make people throw them out and buy new.

If it's got mould or smells horrid then don't eat it, give it to your mother.

Wow, you evidently have copious amounts of cupboard space if all that stuff was hiding in there behind the higher turnover stuff!!

Most of the stuff pictures will just have best befores.

As others have said, check the food the old fashion way by sniffing it and looking at it. Looks or smells dodgy, bin it, otherwise keep it and eat it.

[MattHirst]

I'll eat stuff even if it's out of date. I'll check the date on something if i know it wasn't bought recently but if it smells and looks ok, it's going in my cake hole

Just think, 30 years ago things never had dates on them and look at how our (well my generation, ~20 years old) parents turned out. That might not be a good thing but they are still alive so can't all be bad

I have spices as out of date as 1994 that are still usable. Condiment sauces 2007 aren't going to kill you. Only meat and dairy need paying attention to, and even they are obvious when they are dangerously off.

I didn't realise you were a complete pussy!

Best before, means exactly that. Best before, it may be slightly different after that time but as has been said, tinned stuff will never die.

Ignore the labels and man up and eat it. There is more risk going to McDonalds than eating that lot

Because there are children in africa who are starving.

I don't imagine the sauce would be too nice. I have some red sauce (ketchup to you posh bastards) in the fridge, I've had it for a while and it now doesn't taste of red sauce anymore, it's a bit off.

I just ate eggs from October. They were alright I suppose.
