I think it already tastes sour when fresh (as in when within that sale date stamp on the outside)

but lets say I got half a quart that is about 9days past the sale date...


how do you tell it's not usable? I think it always tastes sour and all...

I thought buttermilk was milk that had gone bad in the first place...


I've used it in baking after being in my fridge for a month and a half. Nobody got sick, everything tasted fine.

If it's grown fur, it's bad.

If it's grown fur, eyes, and teeth, it's very very bad.

Not sure, but I did whip him in the face with a belt (buckle end) once. He was pissed, lemme tall ya.

He was probably just getting me back for the time that my sister gave him a spoonful of Crisco shortening and told him it was vanilla frosting. Nevermind that it was probably three years before I was born.

No, buttermilk is what is left over when you take cream, run it through a butter churn, and take out the butter. It is quite possible for it to go bad.

Didn't you guys ever have to make butter in the 2nd or 3rd grade?

/me, grew up in a very small town in South Dakota.

No, but I made paper in 4th grade.
