Fuckin' necroposters! I thought Eggy was frivolously wasting more food :p

Mind you, by now it might be time to check those cupboards again Eggy?

Wellllllll....

As a college student on a budget who has more than once been compelled for financial or simple lazieness to eat foot that was "expired", plus some simple logic, I'll vouch that a lot of expired food is just fine. The date is as much theoretical as practical, and tends to have a *very* large margin of error.

Some things, yes, you want to be picky about... canned tuna, for example. Other things, like dried mixes or pasta or something, its not nearly as critical.

That said, as another child of an obessive over-stocking mother, you have my condolences. :)



I read somewhere that eating expired food can cause homosexua--oh, I guess you know that already. :D

Sitting in my kitchen
Stuffed from having ate
What should I do now
With what's left on my plate

Maybe I should save it
But naw I got the cash
Think I'll take the easy way
And throw it in the trash

U.S.A. for Africa
What a fucking scam
Charity begins at home
What about our land
America has it's own problems
That's what should come first
So fuck those nigger's charity
And let them die of thirst

AREN'T YOU HUNGRY
AREN'T YOU HUNGRY

U.S.A. for U.S.A.
That's what I'd like to see
But sympathetic assholes
Send it all to their own countries
They want the food to grow
On what they call home land
But don't you know
You can't grow anything in sand

AREN'T YOU HUNGRY
AREN'T YOU HUNGRY
AREN'T YOU HUNGRY

I think of people starving
But do you think I care
Let them all die hungry
So I can breathe their air

Sitting in my kitchen
Stuffed form having ate
What should I do now
With what's left on my plate

I fear the day my aunt, uncle or mother die and my sister and I are left to clean out their pantries/freezers...

My aunt and uncle live in our grandparents house... grandparents who lived through the great depression and for whom the phrases "It's STILL GOOD!" and "We can REUSE THAT!" applied to everything. -EVERYTHING-. They have two giant deep freezes... like, I could hide around 10 bodies in these things... They bought them in the 60s off of a restaurant going out of business... and I can only dream of how old the meat at the bottom must be, because in all my life none of us have ever gotten that deep.

My mother's pantry follows the same model... we have found canned goods from before our birth.

And sadly, I totally see myself following that path. My sister and I will both buy absurd quantities of something that's on sale. My poor long-suffering roommate put up with me buying 50 jars of 5$/jar pasta sauce for 1$ a piece... we made the 'Jaramid' from it.

LOL, Kiari, if you have stuff from the Great Depression, I'm sure it will be worth something to some collector :)

I have over 120 lbs of rice in my apartment. I'm serious.

I remember cooking some mac and cheese, and it wasn't even old.. yet, I found some wormish, type things.. boiling in the pot! Ew.....

Makes me wonder if someone mis dates these things.

My crazy mom ....


It will be fun to watch Eggy turn into his parents and his kids will be saying the same thing about him. Remember Eggy, what goes around, comes around. Your kids will be just waiting their turn! "My crazy dad...."

Damn I hate when things crawl out of my food, but 50 pounds is a bit too much waste of food isnt it?

Actually, at the time it was thrown out, I don't think it still counted as "food".
