food from the deli..

what are keeping times??
stuff like cold meats, fetta etc..??

It differs so much and depends on how it is stored. If feta is stored properly in brine, it can last months. Ham on the other hand, I find can go quite quickly! (You have to remember Ham can be weeks old by the time you buy it)

I generally throw out any cold meats after 1 week, feta etc I'm not too sure.

I generally use fetta within 2-3 days (max) of opening, so the same would go if I bought it at the deli (which I don't because I prefer to keep it sealed in the fridge until I'm ready to use it).

Ham, and sliced meat - I start getting wary around the 3-4 day mark, although my husband will happily eat it a few days after that & never suffers. We often buy a couple of small lots and freeze them and thaw them out later in the week when we're ready to use them.

Pickled veggies - like olives, etc, usually happy to keep them for about a week, provided they are well covered in oil/vinegar.

Things that haven't been cut - like salami, kabanas etc last much longer.

cold meats I thow out on day 5
Cheese, bit longer
Olives, - 1 weeks ?

BTW does anyone else think it's funny that OLIVE is asking about deli foods :lol: ??!

:lol: MD !!!!

thanks everyone

It depends when they actually pour it/cut it etc.

I tend to always ask the deli person. There is a great app for this stuff.
