How fastidious are we when it comes to checking the best before dates on food items?

Just sorting through my cupboards for menu ideas and threw away a dozen or so items with 2014/15 dates on them.

Certainly not!

If it looks fine smells fine and tastes fine why throw it away

My gran came across an unopened jar of Branston pickle in her fridge last month with a best before date of June 2002 (yes 14 years out of date)

And being the legend that she is she thought she would try it anyway but thought better of it after the first taste

Best before is a recommendation so is normally fine after the date, only throw away when its a use by date many people normally get confused and throw stuff when its fine.

It's not food but I've just taken over a yacht and found some pyrotechnic flares. 1993 vintage! Possible visit by bomb squad to get rid of them!
