re: Oldest cooked food you have eaten?

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

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.
