Re: milk
 
Isn't all the milk here generally longer pasteurized or Purefilter type stuff? It does last for ages - 2-3 weeks after the date on it has not been uncommon in our construction site fridges!

As for UHT in the UK, nobody in their right mind uses that stuff. Granted you can buy slabs of it in the supermarkets, but most people don't....

According to Wikipedia, only 8% of milk sold in the UK is UHT. The target of 90% was set in 2008, but was abandoned. Good job too. It tastes horrible.

I don't mind it. We always keep a carton of UHT handy in the pantry, for those times when we run out of milk, or get back from vacation and haven't been grocery shopping yet.

Handy stuff

Funnily enough I quite like the taste of UHT, but since I only really have it in coffee, it's a bit academic.

On the bread front I always have rotis or some other flat bread in the drawer, as they seem to last forever.
