Best by dates are for chumps.
Brie is for champs.

>>19837846
They make the dates on everything egregiously early for ""safety"" and more importantly to make you buy way more than you need

>>19837846
Screw the "sell-by" date. If you're like me, live in the middle of nowhere and have to choke down President Brie or some other retail shit, pull it out of it's box, open the wrapper, check for a good "springiness" between thumb and forefinger and sniff for ammonia smell.

>>19837846
Anything that has not turned to complete shit after the best before date is LITERALLY better because I have the satisfaction of sticking it to whatever stuck up little food safety office wuss came up with that number.

>>19838623
That number isn't for your safety, it is to create more waste thus selling more food.

>>19837846
Sell by dates are like minimum ages of consent: rape

>>19838633
depends on the manufacturer. I have canned food that the bat by date is 7 years after manufacture. it's regulatory bullshit but some are accurate enough as a guideline for complete retards.

>>19837846
Like your mom

>>19837846
Do you eat the rind?

"Best before" doesn't mean "bad after."

>>19837859
Last time I tried to eat brie, I almost vomited.

>>19838994
Brie rind tastes like cum.

>>19839131
And you've personally confirmed this?

>>19837846
Google 'US Army drug expiration' the army was sick of throwing away perfectly good meds, so they di some research. tldr, expiration dates are enormous piles of bullshit advertising.

>to-go order
>get loaded mashed potatoes with white gravy on the side
>mix it
>leave it out for a day
>has a sour and savory flavor the likes of which make my pp harder than Chinese algebra

Everything else doesn't taste the same if you leave it out, but holy SHIT them taters with gravy definitely warp into mana from the Gods.

Forgot the pic, please understand

I had some cinnamon powder at home which had an expiry date in 2015. I finally used it up last month

>>19837846
best before dates and expiry dates are legal safety nets, not guarantees

This is not brie, it's camembert.
Why are mutts even allowed to talk about food.
95% of your people only know processed food. The rest have some knowledge besides mac n cheese but still would be considered illiterate when it comes to food in european countries.

>>19837846
I buy them cheap when they're marked down because they're about to "expire" and then keep them for at least an additional month before I eat them.

>>19837846
you actually eat this stuff
shit is fucking disgusting wtf
its tastes like chalk flavoured cream

>>19840394
the problem with most people that try brie for the first time is that they eat right out of the fridge. eat it at room temp with bread or some crackers

>>19837846
Wait until you realize how much longer they tell you to cook chicken beyond what it actually needs. as for brie, if it ain't ponging it ain't worth eating.

>>19840394
>most childish post with spelling errors, stupid formating, etc
>only one that doesn't like brie
Coincidence?

>>19837846
The yoghurts in my fridge are at minimum 6 months past their date. They're not better, but they're fine.

>>19837846
Oh shit! Are you telling me that the same rules that apply to soft cheeses works for everything else? That's awesome. BRB. Gonna go cram a salmon filet that's been sitting in the back of my fridge for the last month and a half. I'm sure it will just be a little ripe, giving it a bit of depth and nuance and just a hint of funk.

>>19840448
No, I'm literally exclusively talking about cheese, hence my pic you dumbfuck

>>19840597
Oh...you're retarded.

>>19838623
lol
I damn near live off stuff that's discounted because it's about to 'expire'. Fuck that, I decide when food is no longer suitable for consumption.
