Oldest food you have eaten?

Daegerty

When I was still in school I remember a teacher showing the class a jar of preserved rhubarb (i think) that had been in that jar for 24 years and said it would be grand to eat it.

I'm sure there must be some seriously old jars of jam here floating around the place, and honey too although that doesn't taste so good after a certain number of years.

Have a pot of icecream here from 2009 (or maybe that is the best before date) that I'm dieing to tear into once it warms up a small bit.

whats the oldest item of fooding you have eaten?

If they knew it was going to be around for the next 26 years you'd think they'd at least pack it properly

Definitely Eastern Mediterranean on this occasion, but I've had Mexican of the same vintage. Also nice.

Wine, it was something from 1974, apparently valuable, tasted absolutely terrible.

I once found a peanut Lion bar I'd stashed and forgotten about in my wardrobe. Peanut Lion bars had been off the market for about two years at the time. It hurt me so much to throw it away, but it was all white

And I used cadburies coco powder last year, best before date was 1995. Tasted a bit weird

We brought a vintage bottle of wine back from France in '93, (it moved house many times over next few years,obviously not very well). We decided to have it on Millenium New Years Day, all the anticipation......for an expensive bottle of vinegar-the smell was putrid, would've ruined the day only it was funny.Luckily we had back up bottles.

I used to work in a yogurt factory a few years back, we were making a batch of organic yogurt but had run out of fresh organic cream for it, we did have some frozen stuff in a freezer but that was 3 years out of date, our lab manager tested it and decided it was 'safe' to use so use it we did, after defrosting it it turned out very, very lumpy, but still she said add it to the mix which we did, so, a 3000ltr batch(approx 60,000 pots) of organic yogurt was made, then packed then sold, needless to say nobody in the batch mixing department taste tested the mix, we left that up to the packing department....

The atomic constituents of anything we eat are pretty much as old as the universe.Sell-by date that:pac:

Oh and as a back up trump card...honey out of the Egytian tombs

army ration Garibaldi Biscuits that were about a decade out of date
but obviously so full of preservatives they were perfectly fine
"dead fly cemeteries" as the troops fondly call them

I once oven cooked a load of cuisine de France rolls for a dinner party
whilst absolutely locko I made three of them into a "bread man" with M&M's for eyes,and rizlas for hair (stay with me here!) it looked deadly so i kept it!
anyways he ended up on the mantle piece for about three years and they looked just as good to eat on the day I moved out :eek:
