No fear of germs have I says me.
Raw bars, salad and soup bars, street booth food, "lunch truck" food, fair food, I eat it all.
Some doctors where my sister used to work would say that my mom lived all her years since she ate old crap all the time.. not just at buffets, but would eat old cereal, meat, milk etc. etc...
She grew up during the depression and would hardly throw anything away.... if bread was moldy, cut out the mold and eat the rest!!!
That's my husband's best friend in UK. He ate old stuff. Refused to throw out an outdated pickled onion jar, 2 years old. He is still healthy.
That was the same with both our sets of parents. My MIL and FIL died within 6 months of one another we spent a month clearing out their house. We found loads of out of date foods, the record being 2 plastic bags of almonds, one of them open and both bags were 23 years past their "Best Buy" dates...
IIRC, I have come down with "food poisoning" 3 times in the last 40 years. Singapore, Belgium and Israel. 3 countries that are about as western as you can get when not in the US.

My dad started down the coal mines at age 14 in 1939 and was an underground coal miner for 42 years. There were no washing facilities down the pit where they lived, shared their space with pit ponies and ate from their "bait boxes". He never got sick and was still eating high fat food when he died at age 84. I don't think he even knew that food had sell by dates on them.

Some nuts lose the taste after a while. But I just finished my gluten free pasta box that was expired a few months ago. I didn't tell my husband. Haha. He seemed to enjoy it with the spaghetti bolognaise.Did you try a 23-year-old almond to see what it tasted like? I might, if there was no sign of insects burrowing through them. Often that happens.
This reminds me of my opened bag that I have had for a few months. Munching some right now.
I had a little bit of an issue while traveling at a salad bar. At the time I thought it was bad. Hah!
Nothing like 3 days in the bathroom and 3 days in the gastrointestinal unit of the hospital.
That was from a nice restaurant in KC that was proud of the homade mayo. I didn't touch mayo for well over a year after that.
Nice, I would do the same thing.I am not a germaphobe, but when we went on a 32 day cruise, the last thing I wanted was Norovirus. I brought along a spray can of Lysol#3, and when the steward opened our cabin door the first thing I did was spray the door handles. I then proceeded into the cabin where I sprayed the phones, TV remote, drawer handles, and just about everything in the bathroom.
Apparently that worked, because we did not come down with anything, fortunately.

I don't like throwing food away.
I have been to China about 20 times. Always have been with Chinese clients, so I eat from the communal platters with chopsticks. 10 to 20 people digging in. Chopsticks go from mouth to food to mouth, repeat. In all that time, I do not recall ever getting sick. I think I am more exposed to germs on the 14 hour plane flight.

So, I can take the risk at the soup and salad bar.
If it doesn't kill you, it makes you stronger. And most of the nasty infectious diseases are now vaccinated against or chlorinated to death. The growing use of fecal transplant to treat a variety of conditions suggests that you could do worse than eating poo!
This is why you need to stick with me, I avoid these things when possible!Just to prove it can happen anywhere, I've had food poisoning three times in the last 25 years: Missouri, Colorado, and Iowa.
I hope a lot of people see this thread and avoid the salad bar soup. Then there should be some left when I get there.
