Look, expiration dates are a useful guide, but they’re not the law. Our grandmothers survived for generations without them, using a sniff and a float test. They were onto something.
So next time you find a carton with a date that’s two weeks past, don’t panic. Give it a float, give it a sniff, and if all’s well, make yourself a glorious frittata. Just don’t blame me if you suddenly feel like a rebellious kitchen warrior. I’ll be right there with you, cracking eggs and smelling victory.
P.S. – If you ever crack an egg and it looks like a tiny alien, take a photo. That’s weird science, not dinner.
