    Found a tin of tomato soup in my cupboard expiry date of april 2009, wasn't brave enough to try it so it went in the bin.
    I hate migraines.

    :eek::eek::eek: I would have opened it first and given it the sniff test.Not a lot can go wrong with tinned tomato soup. In 1983 when my late husband was working in the Sudan the local bazzar in Port Sudan had tins of corned beef on sale with 'a gift from the Chinese Republic' stamped on them and dated 1950.He ate one with his mates one night, and they survived o.k.

    Sorry - another question - leftover prosciutto - ok to freeze? Only want to keep it to chuck it on pizza so doesn't matter if it goes a bit funny texture wise..
