This morning, I was faced with a conundrum. Have toast with 5 months expired nutella, or have plain toast with nothing on it.
Naturally, I did an internet search, "Is it ok to eat expired nutella?"
The first result said it's ok. The texture might change, but as long as it smells good, it's ok to consume. There was a comment on the page. It read, "I have reached rock bottom. If I die, then I won't have to live with the shame of having eaten expired nutella."
I felt some solidarity with the commentor.
My mom grew up in farm country. She would say, "When in doubt, eat it anyway."
Today, I followed that advice. So far I am still living.
