What's for dinner tonight? Bonus points if it includes something expired.

49,209 4,289 October 5, 2021 at 01:12 PM
I have a weird obsession with knowing what people are gonna have for dinner. I don't care if it's fast food, restaurant, bag of chips, homemade, tv dinner, shells and cheese, huge plate of bacon.. whatever.

If it's homemade though and it's a good recipe and you wanna put it in here, that's cool too.


Also, I've come to realize it's not normal to use expired foods all the time. Personally, I don't have a problem with something being expired unless it's rancid smelling or super moldy or something. However I do get some people here making fun of me regarding that so help me show them that it's not as abnormal as some might think laugh out loud

"Expired" or just beyond the "Best By" date? If it looks fine and smells fine, I'll eat it Eat
Tonight's dinner? I don't know yet, but just for you, I'll go have a look in the fridge & freezer.

Edit: I believe I'll be having a three cheese sourdough panini, both the sourdough and fresh mozzarella are past their "use by" dates--but I didn't actually open the mozz yet. I'll have some ham and prosciutto on the side.

Food poisoning , no thank you. I did once eat sliced cheddar cheese six hours after a power outage. Expired food is like green or purple ketchup, I just can't do it.

I actually eat a lot of almost expired food. Kroger has nightly manager's specials, and they are foods that need to be used up, like, yesterday laugh out loud But they are a good price and I don't mind shopping often in order to get a good value on foods I might never have tried due to cost.

DW normally goes to the grocery store on Sunday mornings for manager's specials. She's come home with steak for $3, ribs for $4, lamb chops for $4, things like that. As long as you use or freeze within a day or two, they're fine.

I'll use expired condiments and expired canned goods. Meat I have to give the sniff test before cooking, and if any part of a loaf of bread starts to show signs of mold, it's gone. I don't really want to press my luck with home made penicillin. laugh out loud

Can you really be a slickdealer if you don't at least check the manager's specials? Grin

You all are terrible at this game!
Tonight I'm probably having a Red Baron Brick Oven Pepperoni pizza. It's surprisingly good for a Red Baron pizza, but I still only buy them when they hit $2.50. Then I add some crushed red pepper or Nando's garlic peri-peri sauce.
