Eggs, w/ Expiration date of March 26, 2006
Followed distantantly with the botched creation that was supposed to be Onion gravy for Bangers & Mash that I attempted a few months ago. --I used some gravy powder found at a British market called 'aaah! BISTO'.
-
a small amount of pine nuts that has been in the fridge for over 3 years!
-
Maple syrup that my husband bought for me when he was in Vermont; it's probably two years old. It's still good.
I have some dates in the freezer that are even older, though.
-
A bottle of champagne, wine, and Vodka from December 2000.
They are left over from a New Years party I hosted.
They were brought by guests and they've been there ever since.
I don't know why they're still there.....I can't be bothered to move them.
I recently cleaned out the pantry and found an un-opened jar of jelly that expired in August 2003.
I also cleaned out the freezer and found the turkey I got from work for Thanksgiving 3 years ago.
-
The oldest item we can identify is my parents wedding cake. Not because it looks like cake, but because it is labeled.
-
Nothing too bad, the oldest thing I can find is an almost-empty jar of tartar sauce (Dec. 15, 2016). :angel:
-
I have some venison in the freezer we were gifted in Dec 2014.
-
I don't even want to know what the oldest item in our fridge is. I try to pretend the stuff in the back doesn't exist.
-
I cleaned the fridge out a couple of weeks ago. There was some pastry from 6 months ago in there. Kayleigh threw out her gherkins (sp) after she discovered mould floating in the juice. Those were about 6 months old too.

actually the oldest thing is the wassail i made in 2015. aside from that i think there is some chili from last week, and the rogan josh sauce from a few months ago. ah, no, wrong. the oldest thing is the smoked fish i brought with us when we moved here in march of 2015. it's vacuum packed. unsure how long it was in the fridge in florida - six months to a year, likely.
we don't have anything old in the freezer, and aside from the items above, if it is more than a week old then i throw it out (i know, i know, who are you and what have you done with wolfish?).

Gherkins is indeed spelled correctly. It's a funny word. The only English words that rhyme with it
that I can think of are "jerkins" (plural of "jerkin," the old-fashioned garment) and the name Perkins. :nerdy:

Oh, and what about the coconut date roll things from that heath food store down south? And that's just from the things I know about.

Sometimes my smartphone doesn't recognize a word either. We must teach them! :viking:

Yeah, "gherkins" is in its memory now!

Excellent. Even more fun is teaching the phone to remember swear words! :zoinks:

Haha, reminds me of my friend's mum, who was quoting someone in a message to my friend. She had to program "fuck" into her phone. Now whenever she types something starting with "f", "fuck" comes up as one of the first choices. :D

London has a building nicknamed the gherkin.

Yeah Wolfish, what about those? :zoinks:

The oldest items in my fridge, actually aren't food and you really REALLY wouldn't want to eat/drink them. One is a bottle of ethyl acetate, kept in the fridge because of the shitty plastic it came in, to prevent evaporation through the walls of the bottle, the other is a container full of ergot sclerotia for culture.
Ergot (Claviceps purpurea, a parasitic fungus of grasses and grains) is highly toxic, the alkaloids in there like ergotamine though, are useful, ergotamine is used sometimes to treat migraine, because its a powerful vasoconstrictor. And I forget which one now but another ergot alkaloid is used for its vasoconstrictive properties to prevent or treat hemorrhages after birth of children, and as an oxytocic.
Hydrolyzed carefully with base though, lysergic acid can be obtained. Although breeding a productive, stable strain for culture, using various mutagenic chemicals is a nasty task owing to the fact that they will mess up the biotechnician's DNA as easily as it will the ergot cultures.
And a LOT of work needs to go in, I'm barely started. Estimated time to success is in the years, but I've spent 2-3 years just reading and doing research, as well as buying a hardcopy of the book 'the genus claviceps', managed to get one on amazon for about $40, rather than the couple of hundred £ GBP that many sellers of the book were asking. And its a goldmine of information, an absolute goldmine of truly indispensable research. Plus interesting bedtime reading.
But were someone to eat those sclerotia, chances are their extremities would become gangrenous and rot off, fingers, ears, dicks, noses, toes, hands, feet etc. Quite a lot of bio work and chemistry needs to go in to any productivity and anything harvested needs a lot more work to turn it into psychedelics, such as lysergic acid dimethylazetidide, which is more potent than LSD by weight (!) or the morpholide, less potent by weight but meant to be smoother. That and a sep funnel containing an amide of piperazine, the propionamide IIRC suspended in a little xylene.
Yup...its best and healthiest to look carefully at exactly what is being taken out of the fridge before consuming anything. Because hades only knows what'll be in there at the time:P

Yeah Wolfish, what about those? :zoinks:
afaik the fish is older. we used to burn through the date rolls so the ones here were bought just before we left, while the fish was bought some time before that and not eaten due to loss of appetite.
dates last forever.
at any rate, no new things are entering the ranks of the oldest. i plan on eating that year old summer sausage very soon.
-
Oh I misread your post, and for some reason thought the fish was from here.
Never mind. :P
-
the summer sausage was a bit on the salty side.
going to try the fish too, just not sure when/how. might make it into a dip.

At work, we keep buckets of chopped leftover poultry and beef in buckets for soup. Because
chicken and turkey taste enough alike to use in either chicken or turkey soup, we will top a bucket of one
with some of the other to make enough for a batch of soup. Therefore, I (privately) refer to these poultry
buckets as "the churkey buckets." Once the soup is made, it tastes fine and you can't tell! :devour:

-
Maybe one should not eat the soup to be able to tell the difference?
I've been a vegetarian for over thirty years now. But I can smell the difference between turkey and chicken. Can also smell the difference between soup made of a mass production chicken and made of a chicken from one's own garden. Only the last smells good to me.
One of the few things I missed when I gave up meat. Home grown chicken.

What the hell is a turduckhen?
If an ostensibly food item starts with the words 'turd' and 'duck' personally I might be inclined to avoid it, lest the stuffing be of a nature you really wouldn't wish to consume.

I know, it sounds pretty bad doesn't it. I wouldn't eat it though, because of what it is. Turducken is a dish consisting of a deboned chicken stuffed into a deboned duck, further stuffed into a deboned turkey.

Well like I said, sounds too much like a turd. Turducken is what someone does when politicians start a speech and there is cover at closer to ground level than standing height.

An opened pack of cheese that's about a few days old. I never keep things for long in the fridge.

Sounds scrummy, but my problem is I'm addicted to bread, and I would make myself fat.
There should be an emoticon here that's stuffing its face with cake or something.

mine doesn't have any alcohol, though i have done that in the past.
i'm unlikely to drink mine unless it smells OK and isn't fizzy. i had some that went fizzy and it was too weird to drink. it's not custard but i haven't shaken the carton in a couple of weeks. hang on.
*goes to check eggnog*
ok, it's not fizzy and not separated into curds and liquid, smells and tastes ok. unfortunately i am trying to give up milk products so i can't drink it. probably i will bag and freeze it.
-
Personally I wouldn't touch that eggnog. not after the kinds of things I've seen mold growing and thriving on.
(a pot of saturated caustic soda solution for example..ended up having something whitish and furry growing over the top. Was damned surprised anything biological could survive that kind of environment)
Microbial life seems to find a way to survive some pretty nasty conditions, such as at the mouth of deep-sea vents spewing out superheated water hot enough to melt lead, lakes of sulfuric acid, lakes of arsenical god only knows what, but definitely a giant pit of toxic waste, containing sufficient arsenic to kill most organisms. Even some life that can survive hard vacuum.

I have some old tubs of yoghurt and bottles of beer. I forget which one is the oldest.

says the guy who won't eat even a simple soft cheese like camembert.
there is one kind i will not eat. i might eat casu marzu if they cooked the maggots
have eaten kusaya
definitely would eat muktuk as i never can get enough fish skin or get all the scales off.
now that i think of it, there is some camembert that i opened and then forgot and that was around thanksgiving last year. pessimistic about rehydrating it so probably will cast it when i find it.
sigh, back to cleaning my room where alas, the odds of finding any food are zilch except for the sunflower seeds. not sure how old they are. they are tolerable but since slightly rancid i might cast those out as well.

We have had a chicken/polony roll (well what's left of it - about a 5th) in the fridge for about a month. I'm not going to eat it.

What's the oldest thing in your burrow?
-
there is food you can buy with long life. we used to buy mountain house when they had 10 year expiration. now they go up to 25 years (freeze dried). the eggs are pretty good; i used to use those at cons with my ex. soups are good too. i wasn't too fond of the rice. oats are very good. rice and beans you can buy at the store and keep dry. i should look to see if i still have my black beans from the late 90s. i think rice can go 25 years as long as it is critter free when you pack it and you keep it dry.
this makes me wonder if the gopher's got a stash of rice and corn. the mice used to steal that from my mother's summer house.
if i find the beans i am going to cook them to see what happens.
-
I threw out some coffee syrup that was in the back, not sure how long it was there up it had partially crystallized :zombiefuck:

The oldest thing in my fridge is probably one of the condiments on the door, but I'm sure it's well within the expiration date. Before I grocery shop the fridge gets a good once over and I throw away the old before the new comes in, and maybe wipe here and there if it needs it. I don't closely inspect the condiments every time, but they get a good look about twice a year when the fridge gets a serious cleaning. :thumbup:

Kayleigh has a massive jar of olives in the fridge. She's had them for about 6 months so I know they are probably still good. I won't touch them though, I don't like olives at all.
-
Ren, have you tried marinated olives? Marinated in good olive oil with garlic and herbs and a little chilli? We used to buy a few jars at a winery in the Hunter Valley and my wife loved them so much that after we had eaten the olives she would eat plain rice with the leftover marinade as a small meal. I'm not a big fan of olives in brine, but good marinated olives are awesome.
I've probably got sauces in the fridge that are at least a year past the use by date.
-
Definitely a bottle of Sriracha.
I only use it on scrambled eggs and in some sauces now and then.
I check dates on everything pretty regularly but I never saw a date on it until I checked it very closely just now and found a stamped clear best by date that you can barely see :zombiefuck:.
It tasted fine last week, and the color is the same...but it's almost old enough to start school if it decides to become self aware....probably time to pick up a new bottle.
-
I've accidentally eaten olives before and was like, what tastes so bad? They were on a gourmet sandwich I had at a restaurant. Blech. They're up there with cucumber and zucchini on the I will try to never eat that again list.

Cucumber sandwiches are a delicacy.

I've got some Wasabi that's easily over a decade old.
There might be older things. And yes, that means they've been through 4-5 house moves.
-
There's a small container of sweet chili sauce in the door of our fridge. I won't ever touch the stuff so I'm going to have to remind Kayleigh that it's there. There's also a packet of grated cheese that looks iffy. Kayleigh has a habit of leaving the cheese out on the bench so it ends up going off quicker.
-
There's some individual serving size bottled tea that's probably pushing a year old; was just thinking of tossing it the other day. Can't find a date on them. Used to drink it but haven't wanted it in a long time. The only other person who drank it was a family friend who has passed away.

Aw, he didn't mention the handmade coconut date rolls from earlier than 2015 (gotten from a natural foods store before we moved to Canada) that he swore were trail food that would last just about forever. I tried one in 2017 or so and it was perfectly edible. I still have some in a ziploc at the back of my fridge and there's no visible mold.
I'm not sure I'm that brave now. :autism:

^So they're more than 5 years old. Hmmm!
Speaking of fridges, ours is a Samsung with plastic shelves. Over the years they have been fixed up with heavy duty tape when they have split due to heavy items. Now the food bin in the bottom needs fixing.
