I bought 3 1/2 kgs of marmite when I was in London this summer. 6x 500g jars of NZ marmite and 2 x 250g of UK marmite. I know that no matter what it says on the jar that this stuff will still be great 10 years from now if it is still in my cupboard. :-)
I go by see and smell. If it looks ok and smells ok then its probably ok. (Veges especially)
I am more careful with meat, chicken and fish though. But have cooked enough that I know when it �s good, dodgy or just plain off.

Hi Linda
My idea is that bb is more a kind of marketing and a way to increase and sell more in less time. Obviously this is not always so easy - meat and fish can be more dangerous, probably. However, all those creams and lotions, face and body, we use probably don �t last for ever, but they don �t usually have a bb date - when we buy all those miserably expensive creams we don �t know for how long they have been sitting on the shelf, do we?
Now, have you heard about MAFALDA the most adorable Argentinian cartoon? She has a friend, Manolo, whose father has a grocery. One day, he finds some tomato cans out of date and he decides to sell them with a special and promotional note -
" Tomatoes with curriculum "
Just like we say about Porto wine -the older the better.
Nice topic, Linda, thanks, I am a little bit tired, have arrived a few hours ago in Natal, after more than a ten hour trip, so offfffffffffffff.
Hello Brazilian ESL friends, anyone here around, near Natal?
Have a nice day
Linda
