The current bottle of Salad Cream being near empty, we thought to look in the bottom cupboard for the next one - and pulled out the bottle snapped above - which looked a bit odd - and which turned out to have a sell-by date of December 2023.
It looked odd in that it appeared to have separated a bit and to have gone a slightly odd colour. We thought about turning it into the food mixer and giving it a good stir: after all, the bottle was still sealed and the contents were probably not decaying, not being eaten by fungi, bacteria or anything else of that sort. A bit of re-mixing, a bit of re-aeration - re-animation as it were - and all would be well.
In the end, we decided that that was rather a lot of bother and had another go in the bottom cupboard, which turned up something rather more recent. The contents of the first bottle now destined for the compost heap.
Slight lapse of stock management: maybe it had got hidden behind a jar of long life chutney.
