No one has ever accused me of being a cook, much less a GOOD cook. And I doubt I will ever live to see such a day. So for you cooks out there, please understand that I speak from complete ignorance.

If things such as "aged" beef, and "fermented" foods of many types are considered as desirable, even as delicacies, what about "aged" gravy in a can that is about a year and a half out of date? Is age making that better and more desirable, too? Or after making a meal out of it, should I stay within running distance from the bathroom?
 
Given the amount of salt in that stuff, it's probably fine.

Speaking from experience, a five year expired package of chicken breast found at the bottom of the chest freezer is just fine when made into chili.
 
Yeah, I would probably be more comfortable with something in the freezer for half a decade than I would a can stored at room temperature.
