oh god, sammy is gonna print this out and put it up on the refrigerator.
That’s pretty handy, although are they talking shelf life as far as safe to eat or as far as optimal taste? Some of the cheeses they say 5 days refridgerated after opening which seems way too short.
Yeah, I just checked on the meatballs I ate today. I made them a week ago and they say 3-4 days. It’s definitely all maximum taste. Just about anything is safe to eat if you cook it hot enough. It’ll just taste and smell gross.
i smell it. then, i taste it. if it passes those two tests, then i eat it.
Um…if I went by the recommended shelf life, I’d be going grocery shopping a lot more. I just ate meatballs that have been in my fridge for about a month. And recently I almost ate shredded cheese flecked with mold. I tried to pick the mold off each shred before finally giving up and tossing it all out.
Wow, you’re going to die.

wait… are you the same person who won’t eat seafood or lobster?
c’mon, REALLY?
It’s not that I won’t eat it, I just don’t like it. Ask John, I keep trying it, but I don’t dig the texture.

No worries, I don’t eat food I didn’t put there myself. Plus, you know, those microwave meals you guys get aren’t known for their leftovers.
this is a great site. it validates my obsession with expiration dates and sniffing everything before i eat it.
I accidentally bought yogurt from acme that was one month past expiration and nearly shit a brick. funny enough, CVS is being sued or whatever by city council for consistently selling expired items.
i’m obsessed by my fear of food poisoning. and puking.
Have you ever had food poisoning? I eat stuff past expiration all the time and have only had food poisoning once — and it was from eating fried chicken at a farmer’s market. If you heat your food enough, you kill all the stuff that’ll poison you.
Hutch, you really should mention you ate fried chicken from the Berlin fucking dirt mall. No wonder you got sick.
…although we do go there to consume raw clams and oysters, so someone shitting his or her pants was almost guaranteed to happen sooner or later.
Yes, but they’re alive right up until we eat them so chances of spoilage are slim.

but you dig the taste and texture of meatballs that have been sitting around for over a month. riiiiiiight
just say it… you hate food
It’s true, she does. Though I’m going to make her eat something she hates every time she comes down to visit.
