I think I have just eaten the "most expired" thing I have ever knowingly eaten.
Went to have a bowl of weetabix, and discovered we were out of sugar.
I found an old tub in the back of one our cupboards, that had the left over ingredients for some baking project or other. In it there was a partially used box of muscovado sugar with a best before date of April 2014.
so I sprinkled a load on my weetabix and gobbled it up.
Now, I am not usually that cavalier with gone off food, but I am not super strict on dates, employing common sense, but erring on the side of caution (we have a really good fridge, and most dates are designed to keep people with crappy fridges safe), but I figured sugar is used as a preservative, this looked fine, wasn't congealed or anything and I couldn't see any mites or anything (although I guess some are too tiny to see). If I am sick later, I'll know what's caused it!
