A Word of Caution
Hi gals!
A word of caution. If you have deli meat in your fridge that says “sell by May 10th” and its May 15th, you should NOT eat it. Contrary to what you might think, that “sell by” date actually means that you should probably eat it by May 10th, or maybe May 11th. But when May 15th rolls around, throw it out. Do NOT, I repeat DO NOT sniff the meat, say to yourself “Hmm that smells weird but the expiration date is just a SELL by date, and its probably just like yogurt when that shit is still good for a month post expiration, I think I’ll just give this the ol’ taste test…OH MY GOD IT TASTES LIKE A GARBAGE YEAST BALL FOOT” *gags, yacks, looks on internet to see what the beginning symptoms of lysteria are*
The more you know.

Hahaha… I like the way you worked Listeria in! Yeast ball foot……egads.. ..!!!! Funny funny girl.

Good tip, Katie — I have never attempted to eat old meat myself, and thanks to you will now never have to deal with that terror. Is this warning based on a personal experience? I am definitely a regular consumer of old dairy — just last night I had some milk that was 12 days past the “expiration” date.
You know Erin, this tip came from personal experience this afternoon. Lunch was a real disappointment.
