The meat part of the rasher seemed ok but the fat had a greenish tinge to it - she said I only needed to cut off the fat and the rest would be edible.<br /><br />I guess they made people with cast iron stomachs in her day.

I wouldn't have any idea, but it seems so terrible to have to throw food away when so many people are starving out there. <br /><br />DWei: I'm sure they've done extensive studying on the shelf life of their products. I work in the chemical industry (although not food), and we do have tests to determine the shelf life of our products and work towards having one that is reasonable to both us and the customer. <br /><br />Jenny Woolf: Oh wow. So many 'don'ts'. Hope you have a tummy upset free trip too. <br /><br />Mark: I should do it more often as well. Thing is, sometimes you take things for granted especially since it's your own house.Terra Shieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00039195435967190497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23144980.post-42692934087347247002012-01-10T21:38:23.176+08:002012-01-10T21:38:23.176+08:00Pat: I heard something similar... like how the foo...Pat: I heard something similar... like how the food doesn't get spoiled, but only loses some nutritional value after it's expired. But still, for something to taste like plastic, something must be really wrong with it. <br /><br />Nick: Oh, poor you. I haven't got that problem, but then again, you never know when the expired stuff may attack your tummy. <br /><br />King of Scurf: Ha ha... I like you attitude towards expired stuff. However, I think I wouldn't dare experiment with meat (mainly because I also have problem identifying spoiled food until it smells bad)<br /><br />Gia: Yeah... had to end up eating a slice of bread insteadTerra Shieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00039195435967190497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23144980.post-58410060355453231592012-01-10T00:04:39.813+08:002012-01-10T00:04:39.813+08:00I always always check food before I eat it, and I ...I always always check food before I eat it, and I won't eat something even a few days out of date.
