how long is it good for if sealed in a plastic container and refrigerated ? It's been quite a few months but it still smells the same (likely cause it's a strong smell in the first place)..

Midnight craving, 4 dogs on the George Foreman...

Has it already been opened? Vineagar usually doesn't let anything biological grow in it so you MIGHT be OK, but I would throw it away.

Damn you for making me hungry.

Damn me for making me hungry. I think I'll run over to Jewel and get some supplies. Later.

I wouldn't have eaten it being it was that old but you'll probably be fine.

Yeah...no kidding. Turning rotten might make it taste better :)
