It's strange how we all see things differently isn't it?<br />Yes, we sometimes miss use by dates. I have a jar of Tiger Balm which expired in 2004. There is very little left but I find it helps if I rub it into my two thumbs which become painful if I do too much crochet. I feel it's time I perhaps bought a new jar. It's also wonderful to help clear one's nose. Just a few sniffs does the trick.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-45672462903404326842014-12-16T18:10:32.066+10:302014-12-16T18:10:32.066+10:30LOVE your first pic!

I didn't realise Vicks had a use by date, but this one was 2001!!!! Weirdly, it still worked good - dare I say even better than the newer stuff? I reckon they changed the formula somewhere between then and now!Red Nomad OZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03020668094026661054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-68769795968847925252014-12-14T18:07:09.840+10:302014-12-14T18:07:09.840+10:30Snoskred; Bbq sauce is sweet already, I don't ...Snoskred; Bbq sauce is sweet already, I don't think honey would be needed, except to make it sticky. I do my chicken with honey, soy and garlic, unless I'm making devilled chicken which has tomato sauce and I most often buy Rosella tomato sauce. It's what I grew up with, also Heinz 57 tomato sauce. I've never tried Beerenberg, it's too expensive. "...pours slower..." probably just means it is so thick it takes forever to get out of the bottle; Anthony would be one of the Beerenberg "family" and probably doesn't play golf so takes forever teeing off. I've read the Beerenberg labels and think they're quite funny.

I put even parts of that bbq sauce and soy sauce, plus some honey but you can also use agave or maple syrup to sweeten this, mix well together, put chicken breast steaks - or if you like drumsticks these work well too, you can do a mix of both - make sure they are all covered well in the sauce then cover the baking pan with alfoil, and then cook in the oven for 40-50 mins on 200C.<br /><br />For tomato sauce no sauce I have tried in NSW even comes close to the awesomeness that is Beerenberg. We were unable to get it here and relatives from SA would bring over huge 2l containers of it because they lived in Hahndorf and would go to the outlet there, and we would share it out between we 3 SA households. Finally it was available on the shelves here, and we bought it happily for a good couple of years until it disappeared - at least we thought it did. They changed the packaging into the awful packaging they have now, with completely loopy names like "THIS TOMATO SAUCE POURS SLOWER THAN ANTHONY TEES OFF" - I mean, what the heck does that even mean? - and we did not notice it in the new packaging for ages. I do not know who designed this new packaging but I am so not a fan of it. :(Snoskredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09704268827537727281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-6772729945835545092014-12-14T13:57:16.439+10:302014-12-14T13:57:16.439+10:30joeh; I put some of that sauce on my burger and it...joeh; I put some of that sauce on my burger and it didn't taste quite right, so I rinsed it down the sink. The bottle I mean, not the burger, I just scraped the sauce off that and replaced it with tomato.<br /><br />Elephant's Child; Barbecue sauce isn't something I use often, so after this I didn't bother buying a new one. It was popular with the kids when they were younger and all at home, we'd have burger night once a week.<br /><br />fishducky; stoneage! wow. Taste it before chucking it though, it might be good.<br /><br />Lee; I usually do a fridge/pantry check twice a year, some things get left even if they're out of date, because they keep, unopened cans of tomato soup, four bean mix, but I check them for "blow" or rust. Then I make sure they're towards the front to get used quickly. The bbq sauce probably got missed because I hardly ever use it.<br />No choc bunny has ever stayed in my fridge longer than a couple of months. <br /><br />Andrew; I was hoping others could see a map of England there. Lee did too. The sauce wasn't nice, it had an odd taste so I chucked it down the sink. <br /><br />Merle; I'll send a team of archaeologists to excavate the cupboard, you might have something of historical value, like fishducky above, who has things dating back to the stone age (*~*)<br /><br />Delores; I haven't had a kitchen "chuckin' out" for a while now, I haven't been stocking up for a year or two now, so there's probably not much in there to sort out. <br /><br />Vest; pickles are different, pickled in vinegar which has excellent keeping properties, I have gherkins which are fairly old, about 18 months, and they are still good too. Sauces are usually good for a couple of years, but it seems three years is one too many.
