Found 14 cans of tuna in my mom's pantry from 2019, made a meal that actually worked
Helped my mom clean out her pantry in Toledo last Saturday and we pulled out 14 cans of tuna, all dated 2019. She wanted to toss them but I said let me try something. Mixed two cans with a jar of mayo, a can of sweet corn, and a crushed bag of plain chips, baked it at 350 for 20 minutes. Turned out way better than it had any right to. Now I'm wondering what other old cans are hiding in there, what's the oldest can you guys have actually eaten?
My grandma had a can of cranberry sauce from who knows when, the date was stamped 2004 and she opened it in like 2017 for Thanksgiving. Smelled fine, looked fine, we all ate it and nobody died. The weird thing was it tasted exactly the same as a fresh can, which kind of messed with my head about expiration dates in general. My uncle still brings it up every year like it was some kind of family record. Tuna seems riskier than cranberry sauce though since it's actual meat, but 2019 is only a few years so you were probably fine.
