When I was a kid I remember microwaving hot dogs until they were shriveled up and had the consistency of beef jerky. Apparently I genuinely loved them that way. I don't remember when I stopped doing it, but I couldn't eat them like that now.

Mixed with this:

What I expected was a reasonably tasting meal with ~30g of protein and quite a lot of carbs. What I got was an icky mess, tasted fucking bad lol.

Also gin mixed with red wine.

I was making spaghetti and realized I'd forgotten the ground beef.
Tried to substitute a can of chili.


The result was inedible and had to be discarded.

So you've never had Chili-Mac before?

wtf is wrong with you? All you needed to do was add garlic, chili powder, cumin, more salt and hot sauce to your spaghetti sauce are you would have been golden!

If I'm not mistaken that is a dish that they love in Ohio or somewhere like that, even has a special name that escapes me right now.

I was hammered coming back from a night out one night. I decided to cook some pasta. As I went to salt the pasta in my mind the coarse salt was gonna melt into the food. Every bite was a crunch of salt. Had to throw that away.

HAHA! Success is mine! I had to drag around an extension cord and do 1 photo at a time before recharging my phone. Even plugged in the adapter only provides enough power to keep the battery going for a short time under use. Anyway, I tried to grab a good mix of stuff, and just used a newly discovered site to upload them with. I'm gonna split this into 3 posts.

Just a general pantry shot with some trinkets for authenticity (wallet/keys)

Here's that big bottle of ranch I just started on, 1/11/2010
A3r1T_8WuQix.jpg


A1 sauce, just used some to mix with some old potato salad and penuts. It's dated 12/9/2011
z80dy20MJC5j.jpg


Worschestershire sauce, this is relatively new, dated 6/28/2012 got another in the closet.

I rarely get meat though, so I just mix this stuff in when I can. Last time I think I used it with penutbutter and some of those eggs (eggs are rare too, this time 5 months old) Actually I didn't get a shot of the eggs, forgot to turn the box around...they're dated 1/13/2014, and just got them last wednesday (18 count).

Anyway last pic ends up being some horseradish sauce. I LOATH the stuff (also called wasabi)...but beggars can't be choosers.

Man you guys are eating like kings.

I'm pretty sure I'd get an infraction for posting the kind of stuff I have to eat.

resized_horrorcat-meme-generator-oh-my-god-the-expired-mayo-it-s-moving-dc160b.jpg


Yesterday I had canned baked beans from 2008 mixed with relish from 2011 and dirty discarded spelt/oat mix infested with dried bugs. Boiled to a paste and put it on some old soggy hotdog/hoagie style buns (been in a freezer for years and got soggy when de-thawed recently).

I do have a big tub of expired mayo I haven't opened yet. It's dated Dec 2011.

Currently much of my food ranges from 2009-2011, but I've had stuff at least as old as 10yrs at the time of consumption. I wish I had a way to get pictures, there's lots of interesting stuff here. Currently using up some ranch that expired Jan 2010. It's kinda got that blue cheese flavor to it now.

I'm the same way. I dont like to throw out food, just hate being wasteful. I believe everything as long as it passes the sniff and the touch test, is safe to eat. My GF and friends all say I have an iron stomach and are appalled at the age of things I choose to eat. 2-3 month old leftovers found way back in the fridge. No problem I'll take it with me for lunch to work next day. Moldy cheese. Slice off the moldy part and go to town. I once ate bread and turned over the slice to realize it was moldy. Honestly didnt see it. Surprisingly,it tasted fine so I kept munching. I found 3 plastic bottles of fruit juice and various nectars in the basement that were years past expiration. They tasted fine. Found some chicken breasts that I had been meaning to grill in a tupperwear container in my fridge. They were old and full of mucous but not yet discolored. Definitely weird smelling though. So I rinsed them off and squeezed lemon juice all over them. The lemon "sanitized and deodorized" the meat and I grilled it that night. Salad dressings, condiments, old potato chips whatever and wherever. I once ate a tupperwear of almonds/cashews and other assorted nuts that had to be at least 7 years old and it was fine too. I made pancakes once and kept the leftover batter. Rediscovered it 3 months later. Mixed it again since it had separated and the water was floating on top. Who doesn't like making pancakes in the morning especially when the batter is already made? Surprise pancakes are the best kind of pancakes!

The time I tried to flavor burgers with whiskey.
Used too much and ended up with every bite tasting like cheap Bourbon.
