I've just become aware that I've got a box of eggs in the fridge, with a "Best By" date of: March 13, 2021... One has "surface fractures" and is stuck to the carton (it was NOT, whenever I bought it, 'cause I always ✓ 2C if any are "sticking") ... What I'm wondering, is; who has eaten "out of date" eggs and by HOW FAR out of date were they? (Might oughta just freeze'm and send them to the landfill.)

That's a little far over for my taste. A week ok, amount ehhh.

Able Man Loc: North Coast (Cleveland, Ohio)

Yeah... I was "leaning towards" burying them... Thanks for the quick response, Flytier.

I routinely eat eggs way past the date. Probably 3-4 weeks would be a record. I eat hard boiled eggs. The older eggs peel easier.

Reckon it'd cost me nothing more than a minute to crack one into a wee bowl and "give it a whiff" (and see if it ain't looking all runny).

This puzzles me ! Why are we posting food expirations dates on this FISHING Forum, eh ?

Because we're a FRIENDLY bunch of knuckle heads. And he thought maybe one of us idiots may have eaten eggs way past their expiration date and wanted to know if we survived.

I'd crack one in a bowl and if I thought it was OK I'd eat em.

Saw1, thank you for your SUPPORT!

As an "update" (I KNOW that you're all just DYIN' for one...) The first egg that I cracked, was FROZEN! So... Gonna let the whole box out on the counter top and I've got the "open one" above the pilot light, in a pyrex bowl, there on top of the stove... "Plan C"; I guess.

Not sure how good they'll be if they were frozen. Let us know the results.

If frozen it explains why one was cracked. If eggs are not kept cold the yolks will not be as solid. To be honest an egg can last a year or more with NO refrigeration. I have eaten them far past what the carton states is Good until date.

Thanks, Jeremy... I'm already at "Plan C" or "Plan D" over here, 'cause the first and 3rd eggs I'd cracked open;; contained some pretty substantial "Rooster-Bullets"; which I usually don't worry about, but, being this old and seeing as how that first one "foamed a little" when I "swirled it around, to savor the bouquet"... So, I've re-frozen 2 and am ready for the coin-toss, as to whether or not to risk eating them "poached"; or to go ahead on y boil "the Bejabbers" out of them... If I "go M.I.A.; I reckon that'll tell y'all SOMETHING.

Enjoy your eggs Able Man. The worst you can get is the egg farts.
