Cleaned out my parents' fridge and found a jar of pickled eggs from 2018

They were way in the back behind the mustard. It got me thinking about how my own fridge is just a rotating door of half-used sauces and wilting greens. Anyone have a go-to meal for a sad bunch of cilantro, a lime, and some leftover rotisserie chicken?

Those eggs are basically a science experiment now.

Come on, they're probably still fine.

Rotating door of half-used sauces" is the realest thing I've ever read. My fridge has a bottle of fish sauce that's older than some of my clients' kids (and that's saying something). Those 2018 eggs probably developed their own language back there.

That's a solid combo for a quick chicken salad. Do you have any tortillas or rice to go with it, or are you just trying to use up those last bits before they turn?
