Some foods last a really long time. They'll survive weeks in the wilderness, months under your bed, or even The End of the World as We Know It. And after all that, they're still edible... well, as much as they ever were, anyway. Which is usually "not very".
Twinkiesnote Which, contrary to popular belief, last about a month before they go bad. That isn't to say they become inedible, as the sugar content acts as a preservative (along with all the other ingredients intended as preservatives) which prevents mold and other nasties growing on it, but after a few months, you're looking less at a Twinkie and more at a stale, increasingly hardening sponge cake with slowly-evaporating cream filling. Still significantly better than many other pastries and baked goods, mind you, but hardly the centuries-long shelf life that urban legends claim. and other preservative-laden snack foods are the ones that most commonly get this treatment, but it's sometimes applied to canned foods as well.
This trope is extremely common in video games, especially in many RPGs where food can be collected.
Also commonly associated with fruitcake. Expect lots of jokes about using the offending foodstuff as a doorstop, paperweight, etc., or it being passed along between different relatives and friends (or from generation to generation) every Christmas for the past century.note Like Twinkies, there is some truth to this. If you store a fruitcake by periodically soaking it in liquor, then you can get one to last several years while still being just as edible as it was when you first baked it, thanks to the alcohol killing any bacteria.
If it's a military ration, it's likely to also be Nondescript, Nasty, Nutritious. Compare Inexplicably Preserved Dungeon Meat, It Came from the Fridge, and Way Past the Expiration Date. Usually even rats won't eat food like this. Indestructible Edibles are the perfect edibles to use for weapons and ammo. If it's really hard bread, it might be used to deliver a Baguette Beatdown.

The Simpsons
The Twinkie stereotype is taken a step further when an enraged customer crushes one with his hands ("This is what I think of your store!") before storming out of the Kwik-E-Mart. It quickly pops back into shape after Apu picks it up.
Apparently, they can also ferment, as Homer kept one in the wall safe for ten years to see if it turned to liquor. The next scene has him drinking the filling through a straw, clearly drunk off his ass.
A deleted scene in "Mother Simpson" shows that the twenty-year-old candy in the never-delivered care packages (including Space Food Sticks from the 80s, which are no longer made) was still edible, Homer all-too-eager to scarf it down.

An extra feature in the DVD for Super Size Me has Morgan Spurlock keep various McDonald's burgers and fries in jars to see how long it takes for them to go bad, with a local independent burger joint providing a control. The indie burger and fries went bad within the first week. The McBurgers lasted a few weeks longer. The McFries went for ten weeks without looking any different, at which point the intern accidentally threw the fries away. One could infer that the fries could last even longer.

The Earthworm Jim episode "Trout!" had a nut log that was a Chekhov's Gag, as the 'foodstuff' in question was hard and heavy as a rock. When they fight Queen Slug-For-A-Butt, and the log becomes the perfect counter to her nigh-indestructible scepter. The 'nigh-' part coming into play as the log is thrown at her and parried with the scepter, only to shatter on contact. Yes, the scepter, not the nut log.

Discworld:
Dwarf bread is, technically speaking, edible... but it's more commonly used as a blunt instrument. The prospect of actually having to eat dwarf bread is apparently so dreadful, it keeps people going in hopes they can find something else to eat, like roots and berries. Or their own feet. It's also mentioned that "bread-breaking" is a sign of great trust between clans and individuals, often done to seal alliances or big business deals, and that the ceremonial hammers used for the purpose are exquisitely crafted and highly prized family heirlooms. Common dwarf joke: to make a meal of dwarf bread, soak it in a bucket for a month. Then eat the bucket.
It is also meant to parody Tolkien's elven Lembas "bread". Lembas can take away a man's hunger with one or two mouthfuls. You usually just need to look at Dwarf bread to not be hungry anymore.
Alternately, if one considers the Jewish inspirations behind Discworld dwarves, then the jokes about dwarf bread can be understood as exaggerated versions of things Jews themselves will say about matzo — a category of humor born from millennia of having to endure Passover constipation from eating the stuff.
This trope also shows up in Unseen Academicals with the "emergency pasta" that Professor Bengo Macarona brought with him from his homeland. It's supposed to keep for years and be just as edible as the day it was made... which turns out to be "not very edible", but the wizards have been cut off from their usual supply of snacks because it's the night before The Big Game, and they're a bit desperate.
The Complete Discworld Atlas reveals that there is also such a thing as Dwarf Chocolate. It has a lot in common with Dwarf bread and is described as an arrangement of deadly serrated flat triangular shapes which, if an unwary person attempts to eat them in the usual manner, can cause broken teeth and a perforated palate. It has a suspicious amount in common with the Swiss delight known as Toblerone, which shares many characteristics. And it contains nuts.
A Tourist Guide to Lancre contains a brief mention of "Lancre Mint Cake", which is described as "mint-flavoured dwarf bread" and parodies a real product. Nanny Ogg's cookbook offers a version for "lowlanders who like their teeth" and mentions the originals are taken by travelers for occasional sustenance, but mostly to beat trolls to death if ambushed.
In The Fifth Elephant, the Scone of Stone that serves as the Dwarf King's throne cushion isn't as indestructible as advertised, but as per the Grandpa's Axe paradox, it's still the same Scone the first one sat upon.

World of Warcraft has cooking recipes including Egg Nog, Spice Bread, Hot Lion Chops, Hot Wolf Ribs, Hot Apple Cider, and Hot Buttered Trout and purchasable item Ice Cold Milk. The Egg Nog never gets funky, nobody has ever eaten "Stale, Moldy Spice Bread", the milk never turns into "Lukewarm, Curdled Milk", and the other recipes never turn into, e.g. "Room-temperature Wolf Ribs". Not to mention all the other cooked meals that you would expect to go off after a short time or just be totally disgusting if not freshly cooked. This was mocked in a webcomic that claimed that improperly stored fish had recently caused a rash of food poisoning among various guilds. Graccu's Mince Meat Fruitcake lampoons the common joke about fruitcakes being nigh-indestructible. "Preserved with Graccu's special spices! It'll be a very long time before these turn bad..."

The browser game Improbable Island provides players with Ration Packs, which are "designed to withstand being thrown out of a plane, bounced down a mountain, encased in snow and ice, left out in the sun and/or buried in a swamp for up to three years." They contain all the nutrients you need to survive but aren't very pleasant to eat.

Several of The Spoony One's old gaming stories on Counter Monkey mention a pizza joint called Peter Piper Pizza, which served some of the most godawful, greasy pizza known to man. One story in particular involves him finding a month-old Peter Piper's pizza in the bathroom of the gaming store that he worked at. Instead of rotting, growing mold, or decaying in any way, the pizza had become glazed over with a barrier of hardened grease, leaving it looking more or less normal save for a weird plastic-y sheen.

Guild Wars 2 has the Toxin-Cured Hog hero point challenge. On being prompted to eat a bite, the player character immediately starts taking poisoning damage, and if they can wait out the timer without being downed, they get the hero points. Being a static event, the hog never rots or disappears no matter how many players eat from it.

Don't Starve gives us the Powdercake. This meal made of a piece of corn, one honey (which already lasts long), and one twig. It lasts 18750 days before turning into rot. Although it will last only half that being as edible as before, it is still a ridiculous amount of time. It adds no hunger and takes 3 health upon consumption. Nevertheless, it can be used as everlasting bait for traps.

Lampshaded in Fallout: New Vegas. When a cook offers to make the Courier some Deathclaw Omelet, the Courier can say that s/he would be very happy to eat something that was not packaged 200 years ago (with said cook being bewildered people still eat that old stuff). Thing is, you really don't need to in New Vegas, given the abundance of far superior fresh, wild-growing or cultivated edible plants and tasty animals. The Courier should have been glad to eat something besides Banana Yucca and Prickly Pear.
Though there is an inexplicable Fresh Apple in the Sierra Madre Vault, a place where no one has set foot in 200 years.
Downplayed with "pre-war steaks" found in the kitchen of the Sierra Madre casino. They have a -1 Endurance debuff but that's it.

Dog's milk, the backup emergency milk aboard the Red Dwarf — it tastes just the same three million years later. Though according to Holly, the main reason why it lasts longer than any other kind of milk is that "no bugger'll drink it." The books go further into this — all the food onboard is "irradiated and vacuum-sealed to last an eternity". The Cat race gained an evolutionary level and ended a famine when they learned how to operate a tin-opener.

The sailors and Marines of The Lost Fleet frequently have to subsist on ration bars left behind on mothballed enemy facilities in worlds bypassed by the hyperspace gate network. The best that can be said about them is that they make fewer sailors complain about short rations. They're still edible despite being Way Past the Expiration Date — by decades in many cases — is justified by their usually being stored in hard vacuum. A possible example also exists in the utterly revolting Danaka Yoruk bars, which nobody on either side will eat if they have an alternative (They apparently taste better than stale Syndic rations, but that's their only known virtue). Geary is amazed that they're still making the things, given that they were reviled back when he was put into cryo a century previous, and Desjani counters that they stopped making them a century ago, but the Alliance is still trying to get rid of the ones they already made.

In the Codex Alera series, ship's tack is treated as borderline inedible — hard, tasteless bits of bread that are valued for their longevity, not their taste. At one point, a Canim wolf-man is offered some, takes a bite, chews, and then reflects that the humans he's traveling with are tougher than he thought if this is what they eat.

The Lord of the Rings: Lembas (which is not bread).note In the books, lembas is often referred to as "cakes" or "wafers." Both lembas and cram are described in a way that indicates they are canonically a biscuit. As long as it's in the original leaf wrapping, it can stay fresh for a long time, and even if you unwrap it, it seems to last quite a while. (Sam kept an emergency ration stashed away somewhere for several months to no ill effects.) Cram or waybread, made by humans, is a more realistically tasteless long-lasting ration. Lembas, being elven, is still delicious months later. Then again, it is made by elves. All products of elven craftsmanship are at least somewhat magical and are by default ten times better than the equivalent human product. It's how Middle-Earth elves roll. Lembas, however, are not actually an elven creation. The special corn used to make them was a gift from the Vala Yavanna, and the original recipe was a gift from the Maia Melian. Lembas are literally divine.

The Paul Sinclair novel A Just Determination has a scene in which a New Year's celebration aboard a U.S. Navy spaceship includes firing a fruitcake into the depths of space "as a warning to all the universe of the awful culinary weapons available to the human race." It's also stated that billions of years in the future, the fruitcake will be just as edible and tasty as it is at that moment.

Exaggerated with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory's Everlasting Gobstoppers, which never grow any smaller no matter how long one sucks on them. Willy Wonka's developed them for "children with very little pocket money". Notably becomes a major plot point in the 1971 film adaptation.

Ship's biscuits or hardtack, a very durable type of cracker/biscuit. It's so hard and dry that century-old samples can be eaten, if one really had to. Samplers will cheekily note that ancient hardtack "tastes just as good as when it was made." Modern airtight packaging has now made hardtack's infamously hard and dry texture unnecessary.
A common way to eat hardtack was to pound the thing back into flour with a mortar and pestle and re-cook the resulting paste into gruel. It can be argued that hardtack is not so much food as a semi-processed ingredient.

The Two Ronnies: One of Ronnie Barker's monologues is as a representative of British Rail. Among the rumours that he inadvertently confirms is that the sandwiches sold in refreshment rooms are so stale that a knife won't cut them (a joke as old as the railways). When he demonstrates with a knife and a sandwich, it's the knife that disintegrates and the sandwich that remains intact.

When Jim meets the other survivors, they give him packets of sweets, and when he has a sugar crash, she says that right now, she can only give him more sweets, as they've lasted longer than other foods.

An episode of Futurama involves an auction for a tin of thousand-year-old anchovies. Although everyone else finds Fry's anchovy pizza utterly disgusting when they try it, Fry and Zoidberg don't seem to have any problems eating it, implying they are still at least fresh enough for an anchovy lover to eat. The auction itself guaranteed their freshness.

In Kitchen Nightmares at the Dovecote Bistro for the "Great British Nightmare" special, Gordon Ramsay is shocked when the owner's daughter informs him that the lamb shank he has just been served has a lifespan of ONE YEAR, and doesn't even need to be refrigerated due to being vacuum sealed. Gordon is so revolted he outright refuses to taste the dish (something he had never done before up to that point in either KN series). He then looks over the ingredients of the lamb shank and is shocked by how many chemicals are in it, upon which he remarks "thank fuck I didn't taste it!"

In Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, there are three foods that will never go rotten (other food makes Snake prone to randomly throwing up at the worst possible time if it goes rotten): CalorieMates™, which are delicious, Instant Noodles, which are delicious and a delicacy, having not really made it out of Japan in 1964, and Russian Army Rations, which are absolutely disgusting, though if you feed him enough of them, he'll develop a taste for them. It's also fairly realistic when you consider the prologue takes place over the course of just one day, and the main mission takes place over the course of four days. Their indestructibility is more in a meta sense — you can go a decade before resuming a saved game, and these items will still be fine while waiting just one week before resuming a saved game will cause your wild-caught foods to spoil.

Vatta's War: Apparently something of a Vatta family tradition.
Kylara's aunt sends her some utterly impervious fruitcakes at the beginning of the series. Ky bemoans their inedibility and stores them away, forgetting about them until after the first novel's climax. Finally cutting one open, she finds it full of diamonds — the fruitcakes are so dense that they block security scans, making them perfect for smuggling, and so unpalatable no-one will cut one up unless the situation is truly dire.
Kylara's father and uncle reminisce about "Uncle Evar's homemade sausage", which was "hard as rock" and at one point used to bludgeon a pirate boarding party member to death.

Steve 1989 MRE Info is the chief of the YouTube Ration Reviewing community for his mettle examining vastly out of date rations, rather than just stuff expected to be edible. Some highlights:
He has a great love for can-era US military peanut butter, which he's had over 60 years old and is still perfectly good besides oil separation.
Coffee Instant Type 1 and non-dairy creamer from a 1942-dated US Army ration, enjoyed in 2017.
Civil War-vintage hardtack. He said it tasted like how old mothballs and library books smell.
Boer War-vintage dehydrated meat and cocoa powder.

Ciaphas Cain, HERO OF THE IMPERIUM, often refers to Imperial standard (corpse starch) ration bars as equally unpalatable and indestructible. The bars he abandoned in a life pod during the first invasion of Perlia may still be good during the second... eighty years later. The bars can survive several forms of Exterminatus, though anyone being around to eat them after is questionable.

Fallen London: Incorruptible Biscuits. The description tells they never go off, though one could argue they were never on. Just a few bites will get you through a long day, but they're gonna be difficult bites; the street urchins call them Dentist Biscuits for a reason. It's rumored crates of them were made for the Napoleonic Wars nearly a century before the game's start and came down as London did, uneaten even through the famine of 1862. Their taste is not remarked on, though Londoner palates can probably use something more normal than their usual shroomy, ratty, and even rubbery meals. Chemist and Mayoral Candidate F. F. Gebrandt attempted some experiments to make them even more durable, and succeeded a little excessively by ending up with outright crystalline biscuits that feel (and treat your palate) like chewing a mouthful of shrapnel.

Rimworld allows the preparation of Packaged Survival Meals, which never rot, so they last forever as long as they aren't physically destroyed by being left outside at the mercy of the elements. Unusually for this trope, they taste just as good as ordinary fresh simple meals. Most high-tech colonies start with a supply of these. Tribes lacking this advanced technology can instead make pemmican (see the Real Life section of this trope) from meat and vegetables, which lasts for over a year, longer than any raw vegetable and much longer than raw meat or any other meals, and is, again, moderately palatable.
