Time to rotate out the old spices and levening agents. What is the oldest thing you have found in that spice rack or pantry?

Steve believe it or not, my dad, who is 82 had a can of green turtle meat in his cupboard. Never ate it. he got it in the south pacific after the ww2, no kidding. When he oppened it, it ran us out of the house, talk about biological warfare.

I tend to only have the spices on hand that I use all the time. However, after my grandma died and we cleaned out her kitchen we found an extremely old can of beans. It was bulging out everywhere. My dad estimated the can was from the 70's. She died in 2001. We wrapped it in a couple of plastics bags and threw it out. She didn't see well and it was way in the back of her lazy susan. Kinda crazy huh?

I've been pretty good about keeping everything fresh, but the other day I noticed that I have 2 open containers of ground thyme. The problem is they are both new.

I found some Ginger the other day,I think that stuff is older then me because my dad used to cook with that stuff and he died 6 years ago and he stopped cooking 10 years ago.
