There are such things as bargains.... Although it does always surprise me that blue cheese has a sell by date.
Unfortunately not. I did 27000 miles in 2 years then bought a 900 bevel. JGR95T. Last taxed around 1983.
And salt! It’s been in the ground for hundreds of millions of years, so I reckon it’ll probably last for a while longer on a shelf in Tesco. 23rd March 2019 is oddly specific.
Come on Zhed, Sea Salt Crystals aren't dug up out of the ground. They are manufactured by evaporating Sea Water and collecting the salt crystals left behind. Although yes, those crystals aren't going to go off. .

The underground rock salt mine in Winsford, Cheshire, is the country's oldest and biggest working mine. It opened in 1844 and is now run by Compass Minerals UK, with rock salt being used across the country to keep motorists safe when temperatures fall below zero. Not sure if you’ll find it in your cruet set though.
Cheshire was built on salt. That’s why the Romans settled the area. It’s also why the chemical industry sprung up there, in what was then East Lancashire (where I grew up), because it had easy access to salt, coal and water from the Mersey and the Dee.
