Before TL: let me guess... the canned food that duckies had is already way too long past expiration date. frenchies can't allow that, and decide to simply cook for them.
anybody ever try eating past expiration date canned food? wonder what happen, and too much of a coward to try

Canned food, if properly sterlised when canned, and if hasn't been damaged in such a way to let any air in (including getting rusty) is practically immortal.
As long as it's sealed, and there's no nasties that have snuck in there (which you can usually tell by the can bowing out), you can safely consume canned food years past its use-by date. Some can go for even longer, depending on contents.
Heck, even past that, it's probably safe to eat if it's still sterile. Might not taste good, but be edible.
Nice use of French word, Paracite (never thought you would know it as it is an old way to say "oh my god"). Just fixed it a bit as it is how we said it.

Huh, I thought it was fairly well known, being in media and whatnot (Most notably Agatha Christie). Not that I've seen it written in quite a while, hence the space...

Well, I'd say it's becoming to be less and less known if you don't read a little bit of French litterature (I'm not a reader but I at least know this). And these days, youngster tend to say their own (and weird) words which, IMO, kill the French language. But that's how I think nowaday, I may be wrong.
Hurry up or the reputation of French cuisine will be RUINED. This is serious matter, so serious you can call it a matter that would affect the national pride of French people.
Certified chef Richelieu and her sous-chef Commandant Teste are on the job.
And both of them are still lovely. As always.

It was pretty common here in the 80s and 90s, at least if you spoke French in Canada.

Really? I remember to be a cliche phrase for French characters on cartoons during the 90s (along with très bien). Now that I think about it, apart from characterizations for waiters on expensive restaurants I haven't heard that phrase in a long time.
As a child of the 90s, I have to agree that the french phrase was in modern media and especially in cartoons. I think it's not as played out now due to everything being PC. No one would bat an eyelash to a little racial stereotypes back in the day.
These days, it's argued whether or not Speedy Gonzolas of Looney Toons fame is considered Racist towards Mexican people.

if you havent watched Steve1989MRE on youtube you will know no matter how "good" the canning process are it can still be damaged... after all this is the guy that has documented MREs used since WW1... and when I say documented eating it for the lulz is part of the course https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjZicBu_2Y4&t=661s of course this WW2 K ration was for archiving and not for... yeah

but, if you by chance *do* eat damaged expired canned food it is very likely food poisoning at the least and a lethal poisoning at the worst

There’s many videos on Youtube from people trying expired food. I watched some from the variety channel Ashens.
The reactions in these videos usually range from “This is really good” over “Why does it taste bad? It’s only 70 years out date!” to [indescribable sounds of throwing up and expressions of regret]. I suggest you only watch them if you have a high resistance against sympathy gagging.
There general rule for expired food is “If it looks and smells fine, it’s probably good to eat.” After all, food doesn’t magically expire on the expiration date; it’s just the minimum guaranteed time frame if stored at recommended conditions. In some countries, it’s more fittingly called the “best before” date. [/PSA]
Exceptions apply: Some food is fit for consumption even if it smells bad, like the infamous surstromming. Some food is good to eat even if it looks bad, like chocolate a year past its expiration date. The white stuff isn’t mold; fat and sugar simply segregated, giving it a spotty look. It’s not harmful and generally tastes good. Don’t push your luck if chocolate is several years out of date, though.
One thing commonly leading to confusion are old potatoes with sprouts, but it’s actually quite easy: If the sprouts are white or light pink, rub them off and you’ll be fine. They usually grow if the potatoes were stored in a cool and most importantly dark place (but not in a sealed container). If the sprouts are dark purple or black, throw the potatoes away. This happens if they were exposed to light for a long time. (Does not apply to any potato shipgirls.)
Anything with a high concentration of salt or acid will keep just fine, so for anything pickled, brined, smoked, or any of the other preparation methods that were originally invented for the sake of preserving food, the best before date is basically a suggestion.
The thing with canned food is that while, in theory, it can keep for a very long time, it's hard to properly test how well will the can itself survive for X years without actually waiting X years. Especially if X was, say, 50 to 100 years ago. Not all cans are sealed perfectly, especially if they're wartime provisions churned out as fast as possible and are expected to be used within a year or two.

As an aside, for anybody that enjoys making food, feeding the ducks would be supremely satisfying. Their reactions are so great!

Nonsense. If the quality of the cuisine remains sound after it has been stored away for so long, it will only vindicate their culinary skills!
well at least coming from a channel that again has MREs involved the trends seem to be the most shelf stable parts in a ration seem to be not containing tomatoes or dairy products this includes cheese maybe more leaning on the processed cheese part (if you do get some pristine creamer after 70+ years you are actually quite in luck), made of pure sugar, made of 70-80% dark chocolate again must not be milk chocolate, must not have nuts (they go rancid), if you need meat the meat must be dehydrated meat, for some unknown reasons peanut butter are shelf stable even though they are contrary to the rancidification of nuts maybe because the roasting process kills the chances of peanut butter of going rancid?, maybe this is a reason why instant coffee are also quite shelf stable. some rules are exempted sausages/wieners seem to be shelf stable enough but I won't risk if the packing is broken

I have eaten chicken stew that was 2 years past its expiration date.
It seemed pressurized when I started opening it with a knife, so I was worried a little bit.
It smelled okay though, and warmed it up just in case (simmering i guess).
It tasted alright, but I found it rather bland. Was expecting a bit of an upset stomach, but did not experience anything bad.
The can was stored in a cool dry place not in direct sunlight (which also explain how it ended up in storage for so long.)
I still wouldn't take eating expired food lightly though.
