The oldest food item currently in your Fridge

[ASpHole]

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.

[Diesel]

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).

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.

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.

My Kindle didn't treat it as an actual word so I thought I got it wrong.

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

Yeah, "gherkins" is in its memory now!
