Re: Welcome, to Jurassic Park
Saw this earlier in the week. I'd buy the dates at least once to try them if they started commercial growing

Re: Welcome, to Jurassic Park
I hate dates but I’d try these just to be in a taste test with Pliny the Elder.
Re: Welcome, to Jurassic Park
Sounds like something my mother would enjoy. My siblings have a bit of a game, where they go into her cupboard and refrigerator and try and find things that are past date; the challenge is to find the thing most past the expiration date. So far I think 5 years was the longest in the past 2 years...
What if the Hokey Pokey really is what it's all about?

Re: Welcome, to Jurassic Park
This is certainly moving the needle on how far back, but seed libraries have been used for centuries to do this basic thing. See the righteous work that Anson Mills has done in SC bringing back benne and other seeds after industrialization and the proliferation of (the least flavorful version of) sesame became ubiquitous in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They've done the same for carolina gold rice.

Thank you for enlightening me. Our book learnin' never included no numerations in my holler

Re: Welcome, to Jurassic Park
"This is certainly moving the needle on how far back" is the precise opposite of equating something.

Re: Welcome, to Jurassic Park
My parents moved from my childhood house to a condo in 1999 (actually larger than the house). In 2016 they moved to an independent living unit in a huge retirement community, the square footage of which was almost the same as the condo. My mother developed dementia and in 2018 we had to downsize them several thousand square feet to a 600 SF assisted living unit. During the course of getting the dementia diagnosed, we came to realize it was beginning as far back as their move in 2016, because my mother basically didn't cull through anything, she just had the movers pack up and move everything.AO Sig wrote:Sounds like something my mother would enjoy.

In the massive downsizing, which my wife and I accomplished, we found some dry goods and some seldom-used food items in the back of the fridge with expiration dates in the late 90s. That means not only were the items ~20 years old, but my parents had moved them in the late 90s from the house to their condo, then the movers moved them again in 2016 across town to the retirement community... expired food had moved twice.
Their liquor cabinet also had a few bottles which were circa 1960s... and not in an "aged = better" sort of way... more like cream-based liqueors which had literally congealed into solid masses, and sweet flavored schnapps- and brandy-type stuff that was horribly funky.

You win. The worst I’ve seen is oranges in my mother-in-law’s fruit bowl there so long they had petrified into the size of golf balls. About the same density too.

Re: Welcome, to Jurassic Park
I've got a bottle of Jim Beam (unopened) that was bottled at 12 years old in 1957. Or at least, I surmise that because it was in a holiday-decorated box that had a hand-written "Merry Christmas, Irwin--XMAS'57" on it. I inherited that when my stepfather passed away. A few years later, my basement flooded, and the cardboard box disintegrated. As a result, I lost the note, but I've kept the bourbon as a keepsake, since it was distilled before I was born. ONe of these day, though, for some special occasion, I'm going to crack it open and share it with some close friends. If it's turned putrid (does it ever do that?), I'll have a side bottle that I can toss into the gap.PeteRasche wrote:...Their liquor cabinet also had a few bottles which were circa 1960s... and not in an "aged = better" sort of way...

Re: Welcome, to Jurassic Park
it was just recently that I tossed some stuff from my pantry that I realized had been with us in our apartment... two moves ago... we moved in 2012 and again in 2016.
Not as bad, but still shaking my head with "why did we move this expired crap... twice?"

Re: Welcome, to Jurassic Park
If the seal is good it shouldn't change in flavor much either way. Bourbon gets the aging flavor from being in a cask; access to air and the wood in the casks all plays a part in that process. Once it's in a bottle, assuming the seal is good, it won't change.Roller wrote:I've got a bottle of Jim Beam (unopened) that was bottled at 12 years old in 1957.
