Some of this stuff at Jeff's grandmother's house was so old it was from before expiration dates were required....such as spices in A&P tins. (A&P has been dead as a grocery store in this part of the country since the early 1970s). This wasn't stuff that was merely slightly questionable, this was stuff that was ANCIENT. And Jeff's aunt wanted all of it.
Jeff left off the best part. Apparently the buggies in the rescued goods infested her kitchen and she had to get rid of -everything-.
I ended up with a few utensils from that kitchen that are sturdy, functional, and I use all the time. Those, Jeff's aunt wanted to pitch. But heaven forbid I should pitch spoiled food....
