What’s the oldest cooked food you have eaten that has been sitting in your refrigerator?

I have some fig preserves my grandmother canned 30+ years ago. Once in a while I'm tempted to risk the botulism but so far have resisted pulling the trigger.

I’ll let it go over a week if it’s something delicious. However microwaving it is a must to make it safe!

My colleagues will tell you that if there’s not something growing on it, I will eat it.

Just give it the old smell test. As long it doesn’t smell rotten it’s good to go

My dad and uncle would eat anything no matter the age. I guess growing up in the middle of nowhere and poor they couldn’t be too choosie. At the hunting cabin it almost seems like a competition of who can eat the oldest most expired food.

Contrast this from my gated community where I heard a girl tell her mother that she couldn’t eat the leftover spaghetti from last night because it probably went bad and they probably shouldn’t give it to the dog.

I just watched the movie Rescue Dawn and researched Dieter Dengler a little further and ran across this snippet
quote:

Dengler had trained in escaping and survival at the Navy SERE survival school, where he had twice escaped from the mock-POW camp run by SERE instructors and Marine guards and was planning a third escape when the training ended.[11] He had also set a record as the only student to gain weight (three pounds) during the SERE course; his childhood experiences had made him unafraid of eating whatever he could find and he had feasted on food the course instructors had thrown in the garbage.

I'm the only one in my house who eats corned beef, so when I make one it'll last close to 2 weeks.

I cook big meals for myself that generally last me a week (exception of pork and seafood) . I’ve been doing this for a couple years and have never gotten sick.

Last year I ate a jar of skippy peanut butter that expired in 2012, and it tasted like peanut butter should taste. I believe that expiration dates are simply suggestions especially if the color and smell of the canned food passes the common sense test.

Probably something canned.

I regularly smoke bbq, ribs, etc and vac seal and freeze them though. Eaten them up to a year later and they taste like I just made them if reheated right.

About to start two butts in about an hour actually.

If its stored in the fridge about a week though is my cut off. Unless it's something like smoked cheese, beef jerky, salsa, etc.
