I have some leftover ballpark style nacho cheese sauce that has never been opened but it has a label that says best used by December 2016. I think I will heat this synthetic cheese up and see what it tastes like but If I don't make any further posts on this forum within the next 10 days, please call 911 to collect my body. Thanks, the dude love you.
They're actually tasting pretty good. I was a bit worried about the cheese sauce but it taste the same as you get from the TC. The pickled jalapenos that I bought from HEB are not very good though, too watery and they don't taste quite the same as the ones you get at the the ball game. I was trying to create stadium nachos and I think I did a decent job here.
The cheese sauce from the club level at TC is entirely different from what you get up top. This fact ruined the last Rockets game that I visited.
Next time take the jalapenos out of the juice and let them sit. That is usually the difference. Also add a nice high hop beer like a Dogfish 60 or 90 minute IPA.
"You are in for a world of hurt. MARK IT SEVEN!!!" "Dude, since when do you eat nachos?" "I did not know that." "STFU DONNY!"
Expiration dates are* typically generous with time. This helps people with weaker stomachs and immune systems avoid complications. Consider it a "better safe than sorry" theme. Canned nacho cheese usually lasts over a year, so eating it about a month passed the expiration should be okay. edit - ARE, not are NOT
Never understood the fascination with ballpark nachos: stale chips, terrible "cheese" product, lame jalapenos. Blech.
on some of this cheese in a can I'm sure it could be eaten years after expiration. I'm not a big fan of canned cheese but if it's all I have in the pantry to make nachos late at night I might risk 2+ months. You can smell botulinum in a can, right?? Just read it's not always easy to detect, great, just great!!!
It's better at the ballpark because they cost $5-15+, the cost is what fools people everytime!! "it has to be good, it's expensive and everyone is eating it, I know it'll be different this time!", and then later things probably don't go well. Haha, yes, it's yellow but... "cheese" product is definitely a loosely used term at the ballpark. They should just call them week+ old nachos with a yellow gel like substance on top...
