Good stuff, ironically I was just cleaning out my cupboards last week and found some canned stuff that had expiration date in months of 2001, so they probably were too far past thedates the stats guy igured would be acceptable LMAO.
But it was funny going through all the canned goods my exgirlfriend has stashedin there that I didn't have a clue as to what it was or how old. But whne cans have some rust (in Cal) and are dated as far back as 2001, then a good time to throw them out. I did have some from nov and Dec of 04 and I ate them veggies mostly, and not bad.
But meat is a diferent animal. I would say it is OK thouh in my book. But then again when I was fishing on the boat we would literally be wiping sludge and other residue off bologna and roast beef and making sandwiches with it a lot more than a couple days old too. And that was sitting in the ice in the hold, not even properly refrigerated. And we never got violently ill. Maybe a guy got the sh its or something from it, but that was the worst case.
