So you know how americans and brits do their dates the other way round?
Brits are day/month/year and Americans are month/day/year(dunno about aussies)
Has anyone ever been staying in the other country and thought that all the food was months out of date?

I could easily imagine myself doing something like that lol
Anyone else?

I haven't but one thing that curdles my milk is the confusion over maybe why there is a need for a 'sell by date', 'best before this date', 'expiration date'. Ive seen all 3 and others. I'm like can we have just one and better yet can the food actually last up to the date listed.
