Hidden Treasures

So I was ecstatic when I 'found' this amongst all the stuff in my pantry:
 
Kaya!

Bingo! It's akin to finding 20 bucks in your car.
And then, I noticed this:
'Baik Sebelum 28 July 2008' (Best before).
Which begs the question. Do I risk it?
After all, the expiration dates are only a 'suggestion', right? And seeing how Malaysian food is more valuable than gold, you can't be throwing these away.
Can you?
And 4 years isn't that long.
Is it?

My wife keeps telling me to trash expired food. Often, I ignore her and still use the spices that are years old. I imagine one of these days I'm going to die of food poisoning, and she's going to have on my tombstone: "I told you so"
