nomadpete Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 And now honey has a 12 month use by date too. In spite of the fact that 2000 year old honey has been found inside pyramids, still edible. Watch out for shop bought water going off - it has a use by date. Tank water must be better - no use by date there in spite of the inevitable bird poo and frog content. (Flavour enhancers) Doncha feel so much safer thanks to our guvmint makin all these rules?
old man emu Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 How much food ends up in landfill because of these stupid "Best before" and "Use by" dates? How often has your missus told you to throw out a perfectly edible item just because of those dates? What amazes me is that often these dates are given for foodstuffs that are what they are because they have are the result of ancient food preservation techniques.
nomadpete Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 Nah, we employ an ancient (non governmental endorsed) three step process after glancing at the 'use by'....... Step 1. Inspect - has it changed shape or colour? Step 2. Sniff Step 3. If product passed tests 1 & 2, Taste. Maybe I borrowed this process from the SAS survival guide, but I'm pretty sure it's been working successfully for thousand of years.
old man emu Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 Here is one product that fails Steps 2 and 3, but if it doesn't, it is "off". Stinking Bishop cheese - Wikipedia I bought some during a holiday in England, but could not get it past my nose into my mouth. If anyone has had the misfortune to come upon a decomposing human corpse, that smell would be like a room freshener in comparison.

nomadpete Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Cheese? I bought some expensive award winning cheese from Bruny Island. Before we made it our b&b, we had the windows down, trying to get some air that didn't have us gagging. Drank our nice red without cheese on our crackers. Couldn't make my mouth open to taste the stuff. Luckily they didn't bill us for a new fridge after we checked out - don't think you'd ever get the smell out of it.
Bruce Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Well Phil, your few days in Germany were more than I have ever had. But one of my great grandfathers was the blacksmith at Hahndorf (Adelaide hills), and his name was August Haebich, so I always thought I should know a little German. Well it sure is very little. In fact, I learned only some French at school, et tout le mond rire quand je parlez fraincais. Je avez un Alice Springs accent trez terrible. But an unfulfilled ambition of mine is to go to a beer hall in Munich und trink out of steins mit lids und sing songs und wear lederhosen.

kgwilson Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Meat frozen to minus 18 degrees C will be edible for umpteen years. Its only the flavour that changes. I bought a frozen chook at Aldi & the best before date is in 2020 some time. I remember in my youth (the early 70s) hitch hiking around Europe on less than a dollar a day the staple was cheese, bread and salami & possibly an onion & tomato. It was easy to find the cheese shop. You could smell it half a block away. Once you get past the smell many of the stinky ones taste really good.
