First World Problems...

Why do these things exist? To fill up unused nooks and crannies in cupboards and drawers? Because they seem to collect in the most inconvenient places, in preparation for...uh...what?

Have any of you grabbed one from your cupboard and tossed it into your backpack or briefcase, or do they collect unused, like in my house?

I used to buy them in packs at the grocery store for backpacking trips. Easier to divide up meals as opposed to sharing a big jar of it.

Not sure what kind of drive thru/meal order you would get that from though.

37 I loved peanut butter as a kid. Practically lived on it. I still like it too.

But my worst PB memory is at some point, to save money, my mom started buying it by the gallon. I kid you not, they were plastic, with a handle and lid and everything. Same size as the plastic ice cream buckets they have now. And this was when ice cream was still in those cardboard boxes!

Totally industrial. I'm surprised I still ate peanut butter after that, but I powered through.

40 It is amazing how those little packets of condiments (mustard, mayo, etc.) tend to accumulate over time in the office break room area.

We'd cater in Jimmy John's or whatever and get a bunch of packets, then they'd just be added to the current stash.

a lot of things, but I suspect it has to do with changes in the gelling agent and the use of cheaper sugars like HFC

Sugar and pectin are essential for what we think of as jam and jelly, and if they change it changes the mouth feel. There are calcium and gelatine based gelling agents but they can be tricky if you are picky

(says the man who has been known to make his own green apple pectin)

My step dad passed away earlier this year and left a golf cart. I borrowed it this summer to do some work at a tractor club that has a large property. So before I returned the cart to my mom, I washed it really good and changed the oil.

It was even easier than changing my lawnmower's oil because it was easier to catch the draining oil. And there is no oil filter.

The hardest part was getting the correct oil. To get the Yamalube in the right weight I had to go to a boat dealer.

With that being said, it was the easiest oil change I've done. And only took 1 1/4 quarts.

Try changing the oil in an inboard powered boat. You cannot get a pan under the motor in the bilge. You have to use a vacuum pump and suck the oil through the dipstick tube. It takes forever and can be very messy,

We've been going to a local Chinese restaurant for carryout for the better part of 40 years. In each order, they include soy sauce, mustard and plum sauce for the egg rolls, and a packet of green tea. All of them, save the mustard and plum sauce, go into a frig drawer with cheese and other stuff, where they collect until they reach critical mass, at which point they are purged and the cycle begins again.

My dad lived in a VA nursing home for awhile -- long before cellphones and iPads -- and many of the residents would fill save their empty coffee creamer plastic cups, fill them with peanut butter, take them outdoors, and watch the squirrels enjoying their treats for hours.

Yeah, I'm eating some stuff past the Best Before date and it's fine. But I'm not fussy.

I'll eat all of the soup, baked beans, sardines and corn. But I have very large cans of beans, fruit and other things that are too much for one person. And I'm fine eating the same things day after day.

Those are for the zombie apocalypse.

176 There is a hamburger joint in one of the Southern states that is famous for deep frying their hamburgers in a large 100 year old iron pot. They’ve been in business for over 40 years and have never changed the oil. They just add more when the level goes down enough.

177 I haven't eaten much store-bought "bread" for decades, but I've been impressed with the shelf life on that stuff compared to what it used to be when I was a kid (I have family members who still prefer that crap to my homemade "nut and twig" bread... I love them, but they're barbarians).

I'm not sure I'd want to eat something that's been loaded with so many preservatives that even mold won't eat it.

You are referring to Dyer's Burgers in Memphis, TN down on Beale Street.

They refer to their grease as "Vitamin G"
Being Memphis, it doesn't surprise me but a "Secret Menu" item is "double dip" where the bun and all are dipped into the grease.

189 There's a difference between "best before" dates and "use by/expires/expiration" dates (or "expiry" if you're in Canada, I think).

"Best before" --> safe to eat after this, but will probably start tasting gnarly as time goes on.

"Use by" --> could actually become dangerous to eat. I'm sure there's some safety margin in there, and I'm sure it's longer if the food is properly stored, but you're basically rolling the dice.

Personally, I'll taste stuff with a "best before" date and eat it if it tastes okay. I don't eat stuff that's past the "use by" date. Ever have food poisoning so bad you thought you were going to throw up the soles of your feet? I have. Don't want to repeat it.

192 as a side note, we got a kitten last week, and he is bitey when he wants to play. I have bound up two old socks with rubber bands so he can wrestle with them instead of attacking my hand and arm, but I just put a pill bottle with a hex-nut in one of them so it will rattle when he wrestles it, and he has been rolling around the floor with it, kicking it like it is fighting back.

That is true of 95% of places that regularly fry stuff. They don’t change the oil/fat. They just keep adding more as the level goes down. In a busy place, this process probably results in all the ‘old’ oil being replaced every week or so.

What about ‘sell by’ date? That’s the most common in the NYC area. I assume bc of regulations. I like my food as fresh as can be, so I don’t buy a lot at a time, so I always have a cushion on the sell-by date.

204 I'd expect the oil level to go up, not down, if they're deep-frying burgers, unless they're also cooking the fries in the same oil, which they might well be.

At least that's been my experience with deep-fried bacon.

Try it some time... you can get it *exactly* the crispness you want evenly over the entire strip, and it's way faster than pan frying. Start out with a fairly low level of quality oil in the deep fryer (I like to use lard). Deep fry a package of bacon, then fry potatoes, mushrooms, jalapenos, or whatever in that tasty bacon-flavored grease.

You taste buds will thank you. Your cardiovascular system, maybe not so much.

When cooking hash browns on the stove, I'll use coconut oil to get that proper crispy taste.

But when the wife isn't around, cook the bacon first then the eggs and hashbrowns in the remaining grease.

Same conclusion as yours.

208 Mike Hammer--

We had a moth infestation in our pantry a couple of years ago and one thing we learned was to put rice and flour in the freezer for a couple of days before storing them in the pantry. It allegedly kills the moth larvae (?) in the packages.

We also use Dr. Killigans Pantry Moth Traps at the first sign of moths. So far those two things have prevented another infestation.

210 I think "sell by" is intended to give a reasonable amount of time after the purchase that an average consumer will use it up.

The spouse is a alternate medicine YT junkie. I get to hear all about seed oils. I think anything that is considered "Highly Processed" earns an instant red flag.

Just hearing the words "see oil undergo chemical extraction using hexane (a solvent) bleaching, deodorizing and refining" triggers them.

But I think a common complaint, is the Ω6 to Ω 3 ratio where excessive intake contributes to chronic inflammation and all of the cool kids are talking about inflammation and ways to reduce it.
