I stay jealous of y’all with local hydro shops I just had to buy another 30lb bag of worm castings for $35. I’m glad it’s only a 1/4-1/3 of my “soil” mix.

Lol, not yet. I have a little leftover curry from a local restaurant, but it’s not enough for a meal. I was considering mixing the two for dinner with a little extra rice or perogies.

My wife looked at me all funny the other day when I used Sour Cream that had expired 4 days earlier. I always try to explain to here that food does not read those dates and automatically self destruct when the date goes by. They also leave window between the BBD and when they feel the food will be no good. In my case it was easy to see it was fine using sight, smell and than taste. That said you are talking 4 and 5 years past date, lol. That might be pushing it. I doubt it will hurt you but will likely taste bad.

Most of those dates are best by dates not expiration dates lol

Big difference.

I want to point out though I recently opened a carton of delicious 35% whipping cream that had an expiry date in July. Turns out it keeps well unopened but spoiliage sets in rapidly, which I learned five or six days later as I stood in front of the refridgerator and put the carton to my lips. I can still taste it.

Sometimes neither, but required by food labeling standards.

I did work at a factory once where the entire operation was like a giant Rube Goldberg machine opening up packages of gum past the printed date before re-sealing the gum in a new package with a new date- All day long. I never knew so much gum existed and expired on a daily basis.

You are drinking whipping cream?

Yes, that’s why I said “That said you are talking 4 and 5 years past date, lol. That might be pushing it.” Most things if frozen will not hurt you even years later but the food does tend to get freezer burn. Most long past frozen food will not hurt you but will also just not taste good any more.

wow that is crazy, I now wonder how many foods this is done to? There must be inspectors, freaks me a bit. I just ate a Popeye’s Chicken sandwich, very tasty

This reminds me of a video I saw of someone opening their grandparents deep freezer and finding food from the 70’s :rofl:

Ever have a bowl of cereal with 35%? It’s transcendant. A tablespoon of cream in a fruit smoothie really brings out the flavour as well.

But yes I decided to take a sip from the carton because nobody was looking.

They brought in gum by the crate, line workers dumped the contents into a giant hopper, and packed the gum on the other end. How many times has any of that gum already made that journey? If anything was being tallied or recorded that did not take place during processing
