This?

Why not?

Not a pancake fan but it's no different than the stuff in a box other than you don't need a bowl or utensil toix.

Expiration date is visible. 01/21

Why not? Assuming, of course, it has been poured out in a hot pan and cooked properly. Probably not recommended to consume it straight out of the bottle.

Those are merely suggestions.

I'd hit it

if it were not over a year out of date

Yeah I don’t buy into the date thing much, just curious. It’s about to get ettin.

Yes. It be fine

In a second. That date doesn't scare me.

Yes

Not a thread about Aunt Jamima..

yes

Yep designed to get ya to buy more.

If it isn’t moldy and doesn’t have maggots or flies it’s fine.

Yep..They want you to chunk it and buy sumore.

Perfect then.

I would unless it had been laying on the dash of my truck for a few weeks.

Most dates on canned stuff is more to sell to you than to save you.

Like the fist of God.


I just ate some pimento cheese with an expiration date of 11-18 on some wheat thins that were made before purple rain hit the top 10.

I’d try it…

Tastes perfectly fine.

No fugging way.


Not because it's expired....but because its gayer'n aids.

I do. The gkids think it's cool to pour in some milk and shake the hell out of it and pour out a pancake!!

Don’t you wear pajamas? Lol

Sandbilly;
Good evening to you sir, I hope that other than tempting the fates by eating food past the posted date you're all well tonight.

Honestly I had to look up what it was as we do have Betty Crocker Bisquick in boxes here - I think - but not that shape of container. Likely too flashy for staid and boring Canadian customers or something.

If possible I avoid boxed pancake mix as it brings back flashbacks of when my folks split up when I was 14 and Dad and I lived off of Aunt Jemima boxed pancake mix, bacon and eggs for months as that was all Dad could make. I then learned to cook out of necessity!

On the whole "this package will explode after expiry date" thing, I'm with those who say it's just a suggestion.

Years back here John Barsness had a thread asking what was the longest anyone had left game meat in the freezer and it was still fine. I want to say someone had a "lost roast" that was 9 years old and it was still fine. We did a 3 year old moose roast that was fine so I was a mere piker in that contest.

The other spring when I was reorganizing our walk in pantry I found a couple jars of canned venison from 2012 so it was 8 years old at least. It tasted fine.

I will say that I had some of those packaged Ramen noodles in a pot in the tool box of my pickup for about 20 years and it wasn't good tasting at all anymore. I might not have finished it either sir, but then again I might have?

My folks both grew up in the Great Depression and it was a competition between drinking alcohol or wasting food as to which was the greater cardinal sin.

Funny how I'm now not a teatotaller but it pains me to throw food away of any kind.

It might well do me in some day I suppose Sand Billy, but it hasn't thus far. For whatever it's worth, if this Canuck was there with you, I'd be trying the packaged pancakes along with the ancient syrup for sure.

Thanks for the chuckles tonight and all the best.

Dwayne

Camping breakfast!

I ate an expired MRE a couple weeks ago with no ill effects.

Billy, Billy, Billy,

I think we here have been through this a couple of times. Sprinkle some of that good stuff you sent on it and all will be fine. Some folks here would say to slather them with "Miracle" whip (there is nothing miraculous about that stuff other than the fact some folks pay good money for it) and get the feed bag on.


Just to be polite and answer your question.......................yes if that was what was on the menu.

I had a friend in the vitamin distribution business, filling store shelves and the like. I got a lot of supplements from her when I was a starving student. She told me the primary reason for dates on them was consumer demand for them. Seems they lose an insignificant amount of potency by the expiration date, after all when one is taking 5X the recommended daily allowance, will a few milligrams less per 1000 mg dose make a difference?

Primary reason for the dates on foodstuffs is likely because the buying public is too dumb to figure out if something has gone bad and then they would sue the manufacturer because they couldn't figure out the smelly sliced turkey breast had turned.

Never saw that particular pancake mix...........................way more convenient than my from scratch sourdough multi-grain ones though.

Hope it's not to hot down there. We're gonna die here this week I think. Going up to 90F.

I have ate [bleep] that would make a goat puke so yes

Thanks for the response Dwayne.

I’ve never been sick from any kind of food before, even more than once when I ate the same as others and they got food poisoning. I doubt some year and a half expired pancake mix is gonna do me in. 😆

Smelled ok Geno, and didn’t have any moving parts so…
Down the hatch.

The real test is how things work out the next morning.

But, pancakes are relatively innocuous.

Who cant take the extra 15 mins to make a decent pancake from scratch??


I weep for the future.

Haha! Slumlord nailed this comment.

Had plenty of scratch pancakes, they are still a pancake. Just a sponge for syrup and butter, those are the best thing about a slap jack.

Fill you up then 30 minutes later you're starving.

Damn... you make a great tale.

When I was young and had a daring young lass... I made pancaked and placed them warm upon her bare breasts (and such).

It was a fine meal as I recall...

She was a fine sport about it...

Oh... the memories of years past.

I have no idea is the batter was out of date...

^^^^^

Dates are required, and the food is good untill at least then.
There are perishable items, basically fresh or refrigerated foods.
Canned, dry goods, frozen, I don't get too exited.

I've had food poison numerous times when driving truck, a few
really bad. Homie don't play the "Save $10, get the puking shïts" game,
But that date wouldn't stop me from eating it.

Where’s Mathman when you need him?

Eat it. If it gets to old the worse thing it will do is bake a little flat or not taste up to par. It won’t kill ya.
If your looking to stretch your grocery nickels that isn’t the best way to buy it. It would be convenient for camping tho.

The only problem I'd have with it is the leavening going weak. Baking powder tends not to age well, so I stayed away from self-rising solutions when I camped. My advice would be to fix it per instructions and if I didn't get enough bubbles in the batter, I'd hit it with a teaspoon of baking powder.

I've made pancakes from much older mixes without a problem. After a couple of years, the flour starts to get stale. It's still edible, but not very tasty.

It makes for very high priced pancakes. If you don't want to mix your own, a powdered mix is far cheaper per pancake. You're paying a lot for water and a plastic bottle.
Many expiration dates are only there because the feds say they have to have one. They're meaningless. This likely won't last for several years but it'll last way beyond the sell date.

So, you’d consume year old milk or eggs?

No but that's not what's in question here. Year old flour and baking soda? Yeah. Context matters.

You’re right…I had to google… thought maybe it was already pre mixed… yeah, I’d eat it. Hot water cornbread (corn dodgers) would be better.
