A Little Bit of Everything

questionoftheday asks: Would you eat food past its expiration date if it looked and smelled fine?

My answer: It depends on the food. I'll generally eat stuff like crackers or cereal even if they're a little stale, and yogurt is actually still fine for a surprisingly long time after the best by/expiration date. I'll also eat cheese without looking at the expiration date as long as there's no mold on it. Meat and milk on the other hand, goes straight in the garbage after the date (unless the meat has been frozen). I've also had the unfortunate experience of finding out the milk had gone sour before the expiration date.
