Oh it's good to find most of us are the same but I d never admit it to my gardening next door neighbours ( you don't live next door do you )
Tinned food shouldn't go off should it anyway you can't see the ubd on the rusty ones and I love the ones with no labels just like opening a Christmas present it could be anything you just cross your fingers and go for it it could be for dinner,desert or the dog
Amongst my activities at the moment is working at the local Foodbank. We have a range of stuff donated and we get to take home the out of date stuff if we want (and replace it with something else). The oldest I've seen there so far was a tin of fruit dated 2003; as far as I know it's still waiting for a taker. But tins up to 2 -3 years out of date are fine.
Apparently tins carried by explorers have sometimes been opened after years and found to be OK - no reason why they shouldn't be really. It's all down to what the great John Seymour called Old Mother Common Sense.
We also have a few tins without labels so unless we can crack the code it's stewed steak and custard for someone!

Eating out of date seeds might flush them out
Hosta, I always suspected you were highly cultured. The venerable yoghurt would do it
Yoghurt's supposed to be 'off'. 60 days is quite impressive though.
But what's the oldest can you've eaten? (the contents, that is!)
PS: OH has just told me that the yoghurt she fed me earlier today was dated last February
damn you Steve. I'm jealous
Ain't love grand Steve
Old cans?
I threw away the tuna dated" use before 2004" yesterday. I don't like tinned tuna anyway.
