    Got a small tin of Little Chef sausage and  beans best before  1983.
    Also a bottle of non brewed condiments (chip shop style  vinegar) from  1991.

    I've found an even older one now
    (Wouldn't use- but smells fine!)
    Rose Water- 100ml 23p dispensed by Boots the Chemist in a brown glass bottle: 20.4.82
     
    Think I've kept it for sentimental reasons as there are only a couple of teaspoonfuls left.
    I used to have some very old food colourings in small glass bottles with cork stoppers- but I think they got binned 
    Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!

    We have a half bottle of brandy we bought for visitors around 35 years ago. It has occasionally contributed to a party piece of setting Christmas pudding on fire. 

    Needing glasses has liberated me from worrying about dates. If I can't see them they don't matter. I recently ate a tin of tomato soup that expired in 2017. My wife said didn't you notice it had an old style label?
