Spoiled UK pate?
Spoiled UK pate?
Today I opened a 2001 UK pate:
It had lot´s of "oily liquid" in so I smelled at it:
Phew...
It had a "suspicious" and "sour" smell, so I better
it. Pull up covers have obviously a less shelf live

Bummer...sorry to hear about your pate-gone-bad. I'll have to pull up one of my 2003 British rations to see anything in there is going bad. Was there any damage to the outside of the container?

Nope.kman wrote:Was there any damage to the outside of the container?
That was my "in-case-of" at work I have in my locker. That morning was a in-case-of-day and I had British crackers as breakfast.
I should open another 2001 chicken/herb pate to see if it was maybe just this one but this pull up covers have a precut line where they open and to me this is the entrance of germs, oxygen etc.
Or 9 years is too old for this containers at all. But remember I had to dump 70 2002 German EPa containers too.

Yeah, those pop-off lids are dangerous...
We noticed a very bad smell, coming from the pantry, and finally tracked it down to a can of cat food, that the seam had cracked just a tiny bit!
You cannot stack too much on them, either!
Not one of the better inventions, I think!

housil, that reminds me of the infamous "cheese, possessed" ration that came with some British 24-Hr. ration-packs, I guess even the best packaging methods simply don't outlast the effects of time.

You are of course ruling out the possibility that this is how it's supposed to taste

Hi Housil,
If the smell is odd/off. it's proably gone rancid indeed.
Too bad.
Every now and then I dig into some 1996 UK pate cans.
Taste is OK. Contents looks similar as to your can (apart from the texture), from what I can see.
the specs of grease are normal.
regards, Nawt
