I don't even keep eggs in the fridge and use them way passed the date. There is a nifty test where you submerge the raw egg in its shell under water. If it floats then it is too old to eat. If it stays at the bottom but the fat end points up then it is a bit old but ok to eat. If it stays on its side then it is perfect. I don't really do the test and just assume they are fine anyway.

Actually by the time bread mould is visible it's permeated throughout the bread, so just cutting it off is too late and no good. Please be more careful, I'm pretty sure at least one of those moulds is potentially fatal.

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

I..uh..don't really look at the expiration date unless the food already looks or smells off. But really, most of the perishables go really quickly. Eggs and milk and that get finished too quickly for it to be an issue. Condiments seem to have so much preservative that expiry seems to be irrelevant. Fruit and veggies don't come with expiry dates, but you can tell just by picking it up and looking at it. Everything else gets frozen from the start, including meat and bread products.

People used to leave me there out of date food in uni and eating incredibly questionable fresh meat is a standard practice for me.

Atleast it was until I moved in with the gf recently. Shes trying to civilise me

I take if it doesn't kill you it'll make you stronger approach to food. I don't eat anything that smells off and that seems to keep me out of trouble

Also mouldy bread makes good toast.

I may have been a student for too long.

I have some standards.

It's like mouldy bread: white and blue mould is okay, black mould means it goes in the bin. I have no basis for this decision though.

I threw away about 3 pounds of strawberrys last night. I found mold on several. Which to me means the entire thing is suspect and has to go.

How many fucking people do I have to hammer in order to get that across.

Yeah. Even if only one is bad, in my head it has permeated the rest, ruining them all.

I've always been crazy but its kept me from going insane.

That and the little one is the main eater of berry's. No way do I want him to have food poisoning if I can help it.

Furry green/white mould is mostly Penicillium so it will make you stronger!

That would make me cry. How does that even happen? Strawberries are my favourite fruit. I've been known to eat 3 lbs of strawberries in one sitting.

The mold won't hurt you.

It just ruins the texture of the infected berries - they get mushy and partially digested.

I would probably sit there and eat them right then and there. Throw out the ones with visible mould. Spit out the ones that tasted funny and eat the rest. But only because they are strawberries.

I've always wondered about expiration dates on blue cheeses. Does bad mold war with good mold in some epic struggle for domination of the cheese?

I'm a bit skitzo when it comes to deciding eat or chuck. Expiration dates on meats and canned goods I stand by and throw that shit out. Some things like hot sauce, I don't pay attention to the dates. I'm using hot sauce right now that expired 6 months ago. Seriously, if something nasty can live amongst those habaneros then it can only make me stronger, right?

Honey, maple syrup, the dates on those don't mean anything and research backs me up. Heat maple syrup and skim off any white parts and it's good. Honey should last for centuries, as we know from MBotF.

The one thing I'm a sniffer for is milk. Milk is pastuerized differently in Japan, so the expiration dates come up really fast. I bought milk on Saturday with an expiration of Wednesday. You wouldn't even get your milk into a grocers in the US with that short of a shelf life. The problem becomes that I can't finish the milk by such a fast expiry, so I just sniff it and go because I secretly feel it's a plot by the milk suppliers to make me spend more money.

You’ve never heard of the Silanda? … It’s the ship that made the Warren of Telas run in less than 12 parsecs.

If it's in my fridge and doesn't jump at me when I open the door or stare at me with a million tiny lidless eyes, it's a legit meal.

The only time I actually look at expiry dates is before my sweetheart comes to visit. Then all the food that can be classified as antiques is piled in the front area of the fridge and devoured before he arrives.

(Says someone who just enjoyed a pair of Frankfurter that have been sitting in my fridge since early May.)

The problem with people who have no vices is that generally you can be pretty sure they're going to have some pretty annoying virtues.

Gawd! I've got eggs in the fridge that were probably laid by dinosaurs. I'll probably get around to eating them at some stage.

If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do. If some one maintains that two and two are five, or that Iceland is on the equator, you feel pity rather than anger, unless you know so little of arithmetic or geography that his opinion shakes your own contrary conviction. … So whenever you find yourself getting angry about a difference of opinion, be on your guard; you will probably find, on examination, that your belief is going beyond what the evidence warrants.
