Time to say good bye...

...to +33 years old Epas

So while digging thru my cases, I noticed today one EPa has mold outside

I opened it to figure out, a jam was leaking and caused this.

OK, after 33 years this can happens

So lets figure out, how is everything .

The crackers had lost their vacuum.
After opening, they smell rancid.

Hows about the coffee?
Normal smell and it looked like normal. OK.

So how are the entrees?
They weren´t bulky!
No "hissing" noise when cut open

(Italian style noodle dish was everybodys darling!)

Doh´. Whats that "shiny" look?!

Due to Chef Ramsey, it´s so fresh it´s still bleeding...

but no bad smell.

Same with the goulash

no bad looking

no mold

no bad small.
But I didn´t dare to give it a try.


But hey - the matches as good as on their first day

So I have to dump all these (1984 - 1977)

If anybody wants these 1990 + 1991:

I give them away for free, just would ask to cover postage

Send one to Steve! He'll eat it!

[Oldsmokey]

I'm down to try one out for sure. I'll PM you.

Hey Housil. I"m not scared. I'll eat one and video the whole thing. Give you guys a laugh for sure!

Interesting I got to eat several of those when I was stationed in Germany in 90-91. Might be fun to take a trip back down memory lane.

Housil!

i showed the picture of the Italian style noodle dish to a official food inspector and he said it was just stiffened fat after long time storage and not harmful.
when you heat the dish it will mix back in,he said throw away the jams and any thing with lost vacum from factory

If the fat didn't have that blue tint I might have believed him, but if I were you I wouldn't bet my health on that it's still good to eat
A good macro close-up would have changed his mind I'm sure.
Unless it's something funny with the light in the photo, but it sure doesn't look just like "pure" fat.

Well, the EPA's packed in 2009-2012 are still good-to-go.
