ShopliftingWhen I was young and impressionable and on holiday in France, I followed some friends into a sweet shop and we each stole something. I was so mortified by this, I returned them.
My lack of French hampered this somewhat - they had no idea why the small English boy wanted to add some chews to the open box, and saw it as an attempt by a nasty foreigner oik to contaminate their stock. Not my best day.
What have you lifted?

Following on from greencloudYou lucky peeps have been equipped by many many years of evolution/benevolent gods/intelligent design/lizard people with the A1 Acme 'don't get the shits' bit of kit.
It's called your nose.
As greencloud mentioned, tinned stuff lasts forever. Decades in fact. Bread goes hard and you cut the edges off. Ditto hard cheese. Smoked meat such as salami? Smoking preserves the stuff. Dried food? No problem.
However, pre-prepared food. Apart from the possibility that someone has chucked their muck into the mix if it's egg mayo, this stuff is a good route to spending a lovely long time clinging to the Throne of Torment as red-hot acid gushes agonisingly from your tortured, red-raw ringpiece.
If its fishy/chickeny, have a good old sniff. If it smells dodgy, it is. So don't eat it. If you reheat it, nuke the bollocks out of it until it really is hot, not just warm-ish and smelling edible.
(I feel like a public service announcement these days. I'll be dressing as Edwina Currie next)
