I was on my way up to my Mum's ( early 90s - age) to help her out with a few things one of which was to do a bit of shopping and cook us a meal . I ran the list of ingredients I needed for the meal past her one of which was dried thyme ...
Me -"do you have dried thyme ?"
M - "Oh yes "
Cooking starts and I find the thyme - a little jar with a homemade label dated in faded handwriting - 1980 .
Fantastic. My uncle is like that - he won’t throw things away. I found some baking soda from 1984 there last time. He’s got a bottle of Tabasco sauce in his cupboard, still in its little box. I’ve not been able to date it, but by the packaging it might even be ‘70s.
