Guest P-Diddly Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 vitamin tablets have a long shelf life so could be used on top of the tinned stuff. Good point. I'll add to the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Bear Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Stocking up for the coming general election and found some tabasco source which although a couple of years past its best before date tastes perfectly good (i.e. just as vile and hot as when new).Can anyone recommend any other foodstuffs with a long shelf life? Last week I used up a tin of new potatoes cleared out of an ancient relative's kitchen after she died. And that was at least 4 years ago. Best before June 1994 Tasted as fine as tinned spuds ever can, which isn't saying much. Slung them in a casserole and we're all still alive.

What's going on over there? I got an email from mother recently saying how great her allotment was and how it was going to provide enough food for winter and how this was just a wonderful thing!

Guest X-QUORK Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 My wife did some food health & safety course a few years ago. She's convinced that our house will be infested with Botulism the moment a Best Before date passes, so TFH hording is out of the question. I once helped clear out an old barn loft and we found a crate of tinned tomato soup. I don't recall a date on the tins, but the branding looked pre-WWII. We opened a tin and the soup looked and smelled fine, but none of us had the balls to taste the stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bull Trap Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 You can do without many of the necessities of life if you have a few of its luxuries. You have no luxuries on your list. Washing powder 100kgs Shampoo 50 litres Soap about 300 bars Washing up liquid about 10 gallons Tea about a years worth Pepper . . . These are all luxuries you don't need. Although, personally i'd consider Tea a luxury. I'm going to invest my money in a wood, in which i'm going to bury my hoarde of tins. Then when she sh@t hits the fan properly, I can go and live there, eating rabbits, nettles and woodlice. I'll post the coordinates on here in the event of a war and anyone can join me - but you'd better bring peaches. the yAk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wario Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I once helped clear out an old barn loft and we found a crate of tinned tomato soup. I don't recall a date on the tins, but the branding looked pre-WWII. We opened a tin and the soup looked and smelled fine, but none of us had the balls to taste the stuff. Friend's granddad was a TFHatter. (With reason, it was about 1940). Stashed an imperial fu ckton of tinned (black market no doubt, he was like that) goodies in the holiday cottage they rented every year in the mountains. Apparently the "plan" was to hole up when TSHTF, and if the Wermacht rocked up, shoot his wife and daughters and then himself with a revolver he'd acquired somehow. One year they turned up, only to find the hoard plundered. Turned out an eloping couple had gone on the blanket there for a while (locals eventually came up with this story, smirking and trying not to wet themselves. Course they would never steal, old fashioned rustic values etc. ). So the surviving tins were carted back to the city, and for years thereafter there was a regular ritual. Beerhunter-style, a ration of cans would be extracted from the cache for incorporation into that week's nosh. Always a great deal of anticipation ('cos of rationing), and not a little apprehension. All the labels had fallen off in the cottage. What's it today, Mother? Pig's bum or peaches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's back and it's like a big black cloud hanging over this once happy home. Day at a time. Let's see what tomorrow brings. Feeling a bit fatalistic right now. I've had 15 years hard, hard slog to set this up. All for nothing. Time to move on I guess. See, even my spellings off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
