Is there an “expired food” thread? 😁 https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...47283c798.jpeg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...c0e5b9005.jpeg |

Boxed pasta, I wouldn’t be too concerned about. Canned and bottled products too, as long as the tops were still vacuum sealed. I’d probably do a sniff taste after opening those.
ETA: I officially took Cheetos back a month ago too.

Saag paneer and lamb vindaloo, from the frozen section of our local Trader Joe's.
I had forgotten how good, and spicy, they are. |

It was fine. I didn't break up every single clump of the rock hard cheese powder, so I had a few very salty cheesy bites. Could I tell it was 2.5 years past its prime? No. :D

The lamb is really good. The saag paneer, well, it is spinach, which makes it icky. More for you.
I served a cereal snack to my child but then had to clear the floor so they could video chat with friends who didn’t attend school today. So no snack for me and soon it’ll be supper so I guess no snack for me. And I’m craving toast. |

No, sorry, they are not the organic varieties. Good ol' conventional mold.

No, no, no. It’s special, aged cheese! Usually costs triple.

Midnight desserts
assorted Girl Scout cookies - Samoa, trefoil, lemon double-stuff Oreo chips ahoy with reese’s (these are really not great) my favorite Girl Scout cookies are Samoa, toffee, and s’mores. They all have a pleasing crunch. |

Ironically, I just did the same thing, finding things that expired back in 2015, 16 and 17 in the upper levels of the cupboard. Included were Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, Brownie mixes, microwave popcorn, and some EVOO. Of course, everything went into the garbage as I didn't want to take the chance of my wife getting food poisoning when her body is already compromised by Cancer.
