I'm convinced there is a time portal in our cupboard. How else could outdated foodstuffs end up in there? I actually once found a tin of something that had passed its use by date!
When she went into a home, my grandmother's cupboard had a tin of lobster bisque priced in shillings and pence and a tin of carnation milk that was perfectly spherical due to some inner...ickiness.
Yes - and they keep much longer than the date suggests - I discarded those that either no longer smelled of their nature, or that I couldn't remember last using
I did a spice clear-out not so long ago. I had some sage, I think it was, dated as expiring about 10 years ago. I don't think spices go off, though. They just lose flavour.
