Go check now, what's the oldest salad dressing in your fridge ??
 

I will lead off, by oct 28/06 expiry date:Oh crap

Dear god.

I have a bottle of Catalina, dated 'best by' 08/09. I don't like it that much, too sweet.

We eat a lot of salad, so none of it hangs around very long.

Oil and vinegar here so no dressing in the fridge :)

Ranch that I just bought.

:Oh crap:Oh crap

Last June(2008) I found stuff dated good until 2005 in my moms fridge... She said it was fine... EWWW!

damn Jules.

May 09 - French dressing

We make out own, both italian and ranch... so at it's oldest it's about 3 days.

dangit...



oh! I have 3 days left! Wooy!

i have used bbq sauce by accident that was 3 years overdue - i am still here. as long as it doesnt jump out of the bottle...

I make my own probably once a week, and we eat it all the time. :)

My mother always had all kinds of outdated stuff, from salad dressing to sour cream. Her oldest salad dressing was about 6 year old. She said that expiration dates were only there to sell product

Well, I like mine well aged :Graucho

Blue cheese never expires,it doesn't have character unless it's three years old :)

We just bought some new stuff but just got rid of our Ranch which was a few months dated. :1orglaugh

funny thing is wouldnt have known shit except my daughter said , hey this tastes funny, then we started to check all the dates and low and behold:1orglaugh 10 odd bottles going down the drain:1orglaugh

Italian: Nov 2009
Ranch: Feb 2010
Balsamic Vinegar: Mar 2011

None, Johnny always throws them away..

thats fresh:thumbsup

which is the truth.. but damn 6 years?

I recently found some corn-flakes that expired in 1978 :)

Found an unopened bottle of antipasto salad dressing made by wishbone, expiry 2006... we apparently we're not fans before even opening. Dressing... meet trash.

i'm the food police around here, i run a tight ship!

on a side note, did any of you catch that new series "Hoarders" on A&E?

OMFG!!!!

This one lady hoarded food. OMFG I almost threw up.

I just buy the packets from the salad bar now.

This thread made me gag though ... when I was a younger bachelor, I hard curdling milk sitting in my fridge on more than a few occasions.

To give you an idea how I lived back then, I also had an unopened box of new pots and pans sitting on the counter for NINE months.

Things are much different these days...

I just dumped one with a 2007 date on it over the weekend.

Sucks too because it was tasty and they don't make it any more.

all salad dressing in this house is made here. oldest we have is 3 days old vinegar with a couple crushed garlic cloves in it. we start a new one of those every other day and mix the oldest one up into a vinegrette for that nights and the folloing nights salad. somehow this is one of the most structured things we have in the kitchen.

At the tattoo shop I used to work at they had a dead leopard gecko in the freezer that had been in there for 5 years... it was pretty weird.. it was sealed in a ziplock back and was preserved pretty crazy.. almost like mummified..

We also had a mummified cat sitting on the top of that fridge.. the owner was kinda a freak.. eventually I threw them out.

I always make vinagrette myself, usually just enough for that one time. I can't remember the last time I bought salad dressing.

I saw that. "if not puffed out, i'll eat it" ugh...and the way she desperatly tried to save years old food was freakish.

pics ??:helpme

Thats funny because just last night as I shook some pepper onto my taters, I realised it was the same pepper I'd bought back in the mid 90's probably. :uhoh

Just bought some new dressing though.

Salt + Pepper +lemon + oil and your good to go :thumbsup
