I've Opened...

.....A tin of rice pudding, its best before date is Dec 2012. Should it be brown and is it fit to eat?;-)

[Tilly2]

Don't be daft!

[kvalidir]

Yeah it'll be grand ;-)

[Tilly2]

Put some jam in it to disguise the discolouration.

[fiction-factory]

I sago for it

[melv16]

I'll put it out for the cats next door;-)

[melv16]

Good gag ff.

I've been using up a lot of canned food lately, with many of the tins having 'best before' dates that expired well over a decade ago. I've enjoyed the contents of all of them and I've been unable to notice any degradation at all in their contents. So I'd have no problem with eating tinned rice pudding that's 6 years over date.

The can of rice pudding I ate yesterday was only 2½ years beyond the date on the base of the can though. The contents were brown because it was Ambrosia's 'traditional' one:

Maybe that's what you've got?

As you mentioned gags- the cats might be gagging if you put it out for them

Melv, are you still alive? Was the rice okay?

[melv16]

It went in the bin, wolf.

Don't blame you. Just because it may have tasted OK doesn't mean it was OK. Metals from the can would have almost certainly leached into it. No thanks.
