My husband likes to take them for lunch, too, if we have them. For
him, it might be two a day. We have eight eaters of solid food so 100
cups of yogurt divided by 14 days divided by eight people is .89 cups a
day. If we count Rich twice, that is only .79 a day.

You might just have memories of yogurt from when you were young. It's a
lot better these days. I never used to like it because I remembered it
having an aftertaste. One day my mom and I were talking about food and
I said I didn't like yogurt and she was surprised because I like ice
cream. So I decided to try it again. I really like it now! I eat the
fat free Light and Fit, 80 cals per cup. I eat it for breakfast every
day now. I'm sure there are other more natural brands, but for now I
like this. I may branch out and try others.

In my experience, regular yellow (French's) mustard only gets better
with age. I bought a gallon jug once and kept it for years, because I
don't use yellow mustard in restaurant quantity. It lost it's bright
yellow color after a while and tasted more and more like "good"
mustard. It got to the point where you couldn't tell it had started
off as cheap yellow mustard, it tasted that good.

Perhaps they are. Humbug is incorrectly referring to mustard as not having
package dates. If he was actually trying to pick nits between the terms and
was looking at a "best by" date on his mustard, he didn't say so.
Semantically, we are in the habit of calling these expiration dates, but
that is apparently not what they say.

The primary point is that Mustard does change over time and can come to
taste like tart wet cardboard, and therefore has a best use package date.

I first looked at three mustards. One said "best by", one said "use by" and
one just had a date. Moreover, "best by" is used on items which can clearly
spoil relatively quickly.

Looking at other things, I see "best by" on my milk, and on a mayonnaise
based condiment. I see lots of "sell by" and "use by" and lots of plain
dates with no qualifiers.

Looking further in my fridge at several more dates, I also see "sell by" I
do not see the word "expire" anywhere. So I suppose you can say the term
expiration date is just a common figure of speech to represent these package
dates.

Clearly, foods with a date labeled "best by" may variably intend for that
date to be used as an indicator of whether something might go stale, spoil,
or "expire".

I suppose it's up to us to use common sense to figure out what exactly the
date means. But it's obvious that just because a product is labeled "best
by" does not mean the product does not "expire" in the common sense of the
word. And if Humbug wants to eat stale and/or expired and/or spoiled
mustard, fine.

If it looked separated, why didn't you stir it together? As far as
darkening, that was a good thing IMO. Didn't you notice it got
stronger and tasted better.... or is neon yellow the only kind of
mustard you'll eat?

You *must* take a pic of that!!!

I've seen tri-colour pasta before, but it was fettucine, and 3 lots of
different colours in the one packet.... not what you discovered above!!





Once you take a pic of that abomination you found, it'll be that one :-)


BTW, vermicelli over here is found in 99.99% of shops/supermarkets etc.

Ah, a mustard snob. As a rule I do not buy French's or other "neon yellow"
brands.

I buy Grey Poupon for my usual mustard needs. I use a lot more of it now
than in years past so I have no problem with freshness. I buy the huge jars
of GP and they never last long at all. In previous years other mustards
grew mould. I buy Safeway brand brown mustard if I am going in a hot dog
binge.

But the cheaper mustards will last because they have a lot of preservatives
in them. We're talking years. And if they separate and turn brown, well I
won't even go there. They are crap to begin with. Age just means they're
worse.

I'll never understand why some of you like to drive this point home
every chance you get. Don't you think most of us already know how you

to read this over and over from some of you. To me, anyway.

You're right. I gave up on coupons years ago, because so many aren't
worth the paper they're printed on. They're a tiny amount off the
higher priced product or a lot off a brand new one that the store
hasn't stocked or even heard of yet.

Life just makes no sense. My uncle was complaining that his wife got
the paper but never read it, she just wanted the weekly ads. He kept
trying to convince her to drop the subscription. She wouldn't do it
(she's pretty stubborn). In that town, if you don't subscribe, you
still get the paper with all the ads once a week, but the paper is
considerably abbreviated. But every time we went over there, my uncle
was always talking about articles that were in the paper (and sometimes
sharing them with us).
