an update on my rotting salad

On May 22, I posted an entry about an old prepared salad that I had found in my fridge that was suspiciously fresh looking. I checked it today and it still looks fresh. The sliced mushrooms are not at all slimy and the spinach is still crisp. I checked out the date stamp on it. The salad was made on May 10th and expired on May 13th. I’m going to keep it in my fridge to see how long it takes to rot.

I have sworn off grocery store salads. Frozen vegetables or farmers’ market vegetables are the only ones I’m trusting now.

  1. This sounds like the test in Morgan Spurlock’s film, Marsha. I can’t wait to see how long that salad lasts! (PS — does it say ‘sulfites’ anywhere in the ingredients?

    1. No, it doesn’t. It’s one of those store-made salads. I am totally off store-made salads now. They terrify me. James said the same thing about the Spurlock film. I saw Supersize Me, but not the extra stuff where he did the experiment with the fries.
