What’s the oldest food you’ve ever eaten? And I don’t mean a 50 day aged steak etc I mean food that’s been if your fridge for like a month. What was it and how long were you on the bog for?

Brandy butter from last Christmas this year so at least 12 months old. 6 months past it's date Stilton but then again how would you know. Cream 4 weeks out of date, was fine. Plenty of sauces, pickles etc.https://nypost.com/2019/01/28/student-dies-from-ea...

I pretty much ignore dates and use my senses, although I always keep stuff in the fridge, wouldn't leave anything on the side. Nothing annoys me more than those idiots on TV throwing away perfectly good food on the date.

It wasn't just the food, he didn't seek treatment and took an overdose of stomach medicine that contained asprin further causing his liver to shut down.https://nypost.com/2019/01/28/student-dies-from-ea...

Fourteen year out of date powdered milk in my case...
I once stole some orange juice from the fridge in my student digs. Tasted a bit watery but okay. Assumed it was cheap s
t. Later I poured another glass out and took a sip. Odd texture this time, almost like a piece of tissue paper in my mouth. Spat it out and it was a big sheet of mould, and upon closer inspection, the orange juice had bits of black slime floating in it. Puked instantly, which was lucky in hindsight as I think it saved me from Monti's revenge.
It wasn't so much that it was old, but my mate reckoned it had been open in there nearly the whole year.
Another time in the same digs, a mate was dared to drink from an old milk carton which had rotted down into layers of different coloured stuff. Looked like a rock layer diagram from a geography textbook.
Anyway he was on the bog with catastrophic diarrhoea within 20 minutes of drinking it and I don't think he could be more than a few steps away from it for a good two or three days after.

That’s the kind of thing I was expecting Anyway he was on the bog with catastrophic diarrhoea within 20 minutes of drinking it and I don't think he could be more than a few steps away from it for a good two or three days after.
I made some Amber infused whisky last year., which technically was about 100 million years old.
Is this allowed? I feel slightly ill, but you can't really blame 2-3g of the stuff for this. Perhaps it was the accompanying 70cls of Scotch!

Dried stuff, no problem. I had some spices and herbs dated 2008-9, they were fine a decade later.
I chucked loads of dried herbs and spices not because I thought they would make me unwell but because I thought they would no longer taste as good (plus I had loads of duplicates!). Integroo said:

2 year old Christmas puddings (home made so no use by date) and sometimes 3-4 years old
Oldest was probably a tin of corned beef many years ago which was on it's final month of "use by life" and I think Corned beef can have a shelf life of up to 5 years....
Oh, yes .. Shop / hamper Christmas puds - usually 2-3 years old!Oldest was probably a tin of corned beef many years ago which was on it's final month of "use by life" and I think Corned beef can have a shelf life of up to 5 years....

I had a similar experience with a Mars drink as a teenager. Bought from a corner shop without inspecting the label, opened and took a big swig, only to be greeted by a mouth full of bitter lumps. Turns out it was 9mths past its sell-by date.t. Later I poured another glass out and took a sip. Odd texture this time, almost like a piece of tissue paper in my mouth. Spat it out and it was a big sheet of mould, and upon closer inspection, the orange juice had bits of black slime floating in it.
