Probably still good to eat. Looked like canned chili to me.

Seriously. If you were hungry enough you would eat that.

Exactly. They used to have reddit posts, maybe still do, of people making fun of their grandparents for having super expired food in their pantries, but that's the point of it. It's not for casual consumption, but in case of extreme emergency.

It's pretty hard to miss signs of spoilage with modern canning. Unless it's so contaminated from the BHP lining the concentrated synthetic estrogen makes six cherry red titties spring up from your back.

Yeah, it did still look like chili even after 38 years, but he said it didn't smell good. If people found themselves in a famine, they should be fine eating canned food past the best by date, even if by some years.

I wish he would have tried it. Have you seen the military ration tasting videos? People actually try some truly old military rations. It's interesting.
