Have you ever wondered what year-old food looked like?Posted Aug 14th 2007 11:01AM by Marisa McClellanFiled under: Breakfast, Pork, Food Oddities, On the Blogs, EggsWhen I was 6 years old, I conducted an unintentional experiment on what happens to perishable food when left out at room temperature for an extended period of time. I left a thermos full of milk in my school bag over the weekend. By Monday morning, when my mom opened it, the milk had turned into a gassy, curdled, explosive concoction. She was not happy. About year ago, Carl started his own perishable foods experiment. He put a strip of bacon and an egg into their own air-tight plastic containers and let them sit. After two months, the bacon was starting to rot and ferment, while the egg looked almost the same. Now, a year later, they are quite gross. The egg has decomposed into a murky mess, while the bacon has both rotted and petrified. The picture above is a close-up of the year old bacon. If you didn't know it was a putrid slice of porcine, it could almost be art. Oh, the dedication to scientific discovery! It certainly puts my 48 hours of rotting milk to shame. Via Serious Eats
