Best before

No, I'm not referring to myself, but my neighbour, when she goes on vacation she usually leaves me the food that won't last until she's back. Today it was a bunch of tomatoes, some cheese, ham and two big containers of nature yogurt, which I'm still not sure what to do with. Not a fan of nature yogurt.

Anyway, had a guest for lunch today and he got served with grilled tomatoes with cheese on top, rolled ham slices with wasabi and some homemade parmesan bread I had in the freezer.

He was intrigued about the wasabi, and so I showed him the bottle so he'd knew what it looked like. That's when I noticed 'best before July 2012'. Oops!

It's a nice guy, and I really hope I haven't poisoned him. On the other hand, I know that food companies are forced to put an end date to their products, and that it's not always necessary.

For example, I found some Läkerol at my aunts place once, where best-before was 10 years earlier. They tasted quite all right.

ah, its only 'best' before that date, still good after, unless your nose tells you otherwise I say.

Cucumber and natural yoghurt with mint or chives (and a bit of salt) makes a good summer salad/dip. or add fruit/sugar/flavor to make it just like other yoghurt

That's a good rule of thumb.

I'm thinking yogurt dip for Monday evening :).
