What's that whitish film on them? 

 

Did you keep them this long for an experiment, or do you only sort your fridge out every three months or so?!!!

 

I'm not sure what the film or dust is that covers the grapes, could well be part of the decomposition process.

 

 No Rexi, I don't sort it out every three months or so, they have indeed been left in there as an experiment. I was expecting by now that there would be a mold on them, but I can't see any as yet.

It's called bloom. However if the grapes get wet and/or damaged it will become fluffy mould.  If they aren't already mouldy give them a good wash and if they aren't damaged or a bit dried and wrinkly they should be OK.

I'm just going to 'observe them' for as long as I can be bothered or until they turn into currants, raisins or whatever their eventual form may be (alien creature).

Nooooooooooo! Please don't eat them, i understand the best before thing and i often eat fruit (Toms especially) a week or two past this date but 3months is a big NONONO!

But they've been in the fridge Jen. This slows down the natural deterioration!

I dunno, if you'd seen the ones in our fridge at work that I threw out today to make room for something else

Would you actually eat them then?

I wouldn't normally, but quite tempted. Let's see how they look in June or July. 

BTW Jen I checked out the art work of Laura.

What did you think?

Certainly contemporary and I got a Banksy feeling for some of them. I'm not sure her pieces would be ones I would purchase myself but I can see she has a set of themes and motifs used throughout. I had a brief look and bookmarked for another longer viewing. Good link though, always interested in art.  As to whether I like them I would want to spend a bit more time.

Yes, as long as the stuff I said before worked out OK.

 

I mean, how did we get on before they started putting these dates on everything?

Are they going grey like you EC?

nothing wrong with grey

for the record i had my winter mop cut today and i will be applying a lovely ladies hairdye tomorrow-i find the mens just a tad too harsh & i like the fact that this dye has the addition of an added conditioner

it feels so soft & manageable after

in the mornings, i just wash & go

I kind of agree with Fluffers, except that these grapes have clearly been sprayed with something to make them last like this, so no, I wouldn't eat them, and I would get them out of my fridge pronto.

 

 

I'm going for the long term observation experiment. You never know, they could become a new lifeform.!!!!

Just be careful ... you don't know what those alien grapes will do to your lettuce
