rodp Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 You'll be fine, you're Black Country and must have eaten worse than that as a kid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bb Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 If it's tinned and the tin's in good nick then the food within should also be OK. Not that I have any in depth knowledge of the food industry but our store cupboards have food of a similar vintage................ Generally your nose will tell you whether food's edible or not, certain cheeses and vegetables excepted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zapp Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Extreme squitters? There speaks a man who has never eaten compo. You could have the bloody flux and still burst all the blood vessels in your eyes and face trying to have a dump after eating that. OP, its compo. Eat it, it will be fine.

fortune Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Recently I was up in the attic getting the decorating stuff and came across a survival pack from the 60's,all still intact. I didn't throw it out because some museum might like it. I remember that the cheese block was rank and rancid when compo packs were new. Some of the stuff was OK but you could use the biscuits as armour plate on a flack jacket. They had to be well dunked in the tea to soften them or you'd be paying a visit to the dentist.
