The oldest food item currently in your Fridge

[Fun With Matches]

An opened pack of cheese that's about a few days old. I never keep things for long in the fridge.

  Make some grilled cheeses and it'll be used up in no time! 

Sounds scrummy, but my problem is I'm addicted to bread, and I would make myself fat.

There should be an emoticon here that's stuffing its face with cake or something.

  These would be good if you love protein ...

15-month-old egg nog.

  It's probably solidified into a custard by now. 

No, it just gets better with age.  Way too much alcohol and sugar to turn on me

  I did not know that!  So will you drink it at some point? 

mine doesn't have any alcohol, though i have done that in the past.
i'm unlikely to drink mine unless it smells OK and isn't fizzy. i had some that went fizzy and it was too weird to drink. it's not custard but i haven't shaken the carton in a couple of weeks. hang on.
*goes to check eggnog*
ok, it's not fizzy and not separated into curds and liquid, smells and tastes ok. unfortunately i am trying to give up milk products so i can't drink it. probably i will bag and freeze it.

Personally I wouldn't touch that eggnog. not after the kinds of things I've seen mold growing and thriving on.

(a pot of saturated caustic soda solution for example..ended up having something whitish and furry growing over the top. Was damned surprised anything biological could survive that kind of environment)

Microbial life seems to find a way to survive some pretty nasty conditions, such as at the mouth of deep-sea vents spewing out superheated water hot enough to melt lead, lakes of sulfuric acid, lakes of arsenical god only knows what, but definitely a giant pit of toxic waste, containing sufficient arsenic to kill most organisms. Even some life that can survive hard vacuum.

I have some old tubs of yoghurt and bottles of beer. I forget which one is the oldest.

  Mix them together   and see what happens!


   It will be interesting, chemically speaking.

says the guy who won't eat even a simple soft cheese like camembert.
there is one kind i will not eat. i might eat casu marzu if they cooked the maggots
have eaten kusaya
definitely would eat muktuk as i never can get enough fish skin or get all the scales off.

now that i think of it, there is some camembert that i opened and then forgot and that was around thanksgiving last year. pessimistic about rehydrating it so probably will cast it when i find it.

sigh, back to cleaning my room where alas, the odds of finding any food are zilch except for the sunflower seeds. not sure how old they are. they are tolerable but since slightly rancid i might cast those out as well.

just think of it as well preserved prepper food.

We have had a chicken/polony roll (well what's left of it - about a 5th) in the fridge for about a month. I'm not going to eat it.
