>> Expired Food..

[Yuna-Lenne]

My dad once gave my mum some lobster tails that were 6 weeks out of date, and she hasn't trusted him with food since. Luckily she didn't even get ill.

I ate a lasagne yesterday that was one day past the expiry date, and I'm not dead yet.

I'm really weird when it comes to expired foods. If ANYTHING is past the expired date, I just won't eat it. My parents are the type who don't want to waste ANYTHING, no matter how expired (we have year old frappuchinos in our fridge) so we clash often.

there is once...
my mother cook some chicken with an expired chilly sauce...
the colour of that sauce is black...
because it's already cooked, we just eat it...
and nothing happen...

I also make the mistake to buy food and store it for months, and I hate to throw my precious food to the trash can..

Thats me, it annoys me when I have to throw food away, now I make sure I look at the date. I once bought a pack of Malteasers from a newsagents once and the chocolate had white specks all over it! It was over 4 months over its sell by date! My dad was going crazy because I could have gotten very ill from it.

I usually buy food that will last for a while, like hermetics, noodles, pasta and forzen pizza. When it comes to milk, i usually buy a kind with slight strawberry flavour added, so i drink it up in like a day. talking about one litre cartons now.

I send it to charities.

I go to a shop thats near me and i buy food thats past the expired date because they put it really cheap and i have no problems after.

I drank expired milk before and ever since then, I've had a semi-phobia about expired food. If I even suspect that something might be expired, I won't touch it. Even if it's not past the expiration date, I still won't touch it if I think it's been in the fridge too long. So a lot of times, I chuck things that were perfectly fine to eat just cause I don't want to risk it.

me too;o I'm forever telling my dad that something in our house smells/tastes sour and he never believes me, but lately it was milk and it was horrible;o Made them buy new gallons and instantly it was fixed. Wonder what that was~

Expiration dates are more like guidelines.
I mean, milk remains good for up to a week after it "expires".

I hate pouring a nice tall glass of orange juice I just got the same day and realize it was already hard.

I've never liked the taste of milk, but yet I've never really liked the taste of expired milk, I dubbed it the worst taste in the whole entire world. And the smell, oh god, the smell. x.x I'd rather staple myself in the eyes.

The only time I'll eat expired food is when I'm working and starving because I had eaten dinner before I came in for the 6 hour shift. I scream to Jeremiah to get me expired food (since that's the only free kind we can have) and so far I've only had one problem with it.

[Perducci]

I found half an Easter egg under my desk once. It was in like, November, so i'm pretty sure it was way out of date.

I ate it anyway.

I never buy, nor do I drink milk. You can never be certain about milk where I live (especially since there are no cows here). <<

It's more to prevent themselves against lawsuits :p.
