Out Of Date Food

[tup]

If you had something that was 'use by' 22 March 2015, would you still eat it today?

 

I'm awful for not checking dates when I buy stuff, but I'm also loath to chuck away what might be perfectly good food.

Unless its dairy, then providing its not got any visible mould then fire in min.

it depends on what the item is.

what is it you're referring to?

had it been previously opened and just stored in the fridge/pantry?

If it's frozen food, then yes.

 

If it's raw meat you've left sitting next to a radiator, then no.

It's a Tesco finest macaroni cheese ready meal.

 

Will do for my dinner tonight if it's safe, but with it containing plenty cheese I'm wary.

[dave_min]

There's no danger of their being any meat or dairy in that.

[RAZOR]

As long as it's not prawns. I had a horrible time a few months back as a result of dodgy prawns, yuck

[looksgoodinred]

use by dates are bit more finicky than best before ones.

but dave_min's probably correct in that it doesn't contain much dairy product anyway.

 

i'd suggest if it's been in the fridge all this time, and it's been unopened, it's probably fine and only a few days past.

give it a sniff before you heat it up.

 

if you're at all uncertain at that point still, toss it. and order in. food poisoning wouldn't be fun.

I make my mac and cheese fresh. Absolute doddle to make it yourself. Never touch the pre-made shite, there's so many chemicals and preservatives in it.

 

Melt butter in a pan, throw in flour until you have a thick pasty ball, start adding milk until you have the consitency you want for the cheese sauce. Add salt,pepper, and rosemary, add grated cheese, bung in your boiled and strained pasta... Mac and Cheese.

 

The mac and cheese oot the box smells like feet.

i keep boxes of Kraft Dinner in my pantry for emergencies. i don't know what kind of emergency would require me to eat them. but some day, i'll be thankful i have them.

[tup]

I don't have a great deal of spare time or I would cook something.

 

I'm going to eat it and be damned.

[DD1903]

If the pack doesn't look bloated/blown, then it'll be fine

A photo of this in WAYHFYS could destroy the Internet.

[Ke1t]

I'll urge you once more to just make your own...

 

Full of Chemicals.

he doesn't have much spare time, Kelt min. he's too busy to fuck around in the kitchen.

The food industry poisons us, the health industry (in America) profits off the fallout of people eating food soaked in dangerous chemicals.

 

Not saying I never eat processed food, I just don't eat it very often. I have major adverse reactions to things like artificial sweeteners and food colorings. Aspartame literally makes my legs bleed.

 

Takes no time at all to throw some meat and vegetables into a slow cooker in the morning, and at night your dinner is ready to throw onto a plate.

 

Some people can likely throw a cocktail of preservatives, artificial sweeteners, and carcinogens into their bodies and live to be 100, but the chances are most of us can't.

[Redforever86]

Too short to reach the work top that's his problem.

 

 

Use by dates are to do with percentages. If the length of time afore it expires is 2months its a lot less likely to be off after a week, than something with a period of 1 week.

 

I reckon you'll be alright.

[caledonia]

It might stump your growth if its out of date

I thought he lived on mince and tatties tae.

Aye min, Things Dinna just deteriorate over night. There's rosemary in my fridge from 10th March, (my rosemary bush died, new one is growing) it's still perfectly fine. Use your senses, nae what sainsburys etc tell you to do. They would have you in buying new food everyday if they could

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

I bet Kelt is a big fat yank and makes a fucking ace mac and cheese. Go and make a hoorin bowl of the shit and ship it to the Granite City min

[Ke1t]

I can confirm my Mac and cheese is the shit, with no AIDS in it.

[RAZOR]

A friends classic MAC & C.H.E.E.S.E

Strangest sounding macaroni cheese dish I've heard of.

[teamtarland]

"have major adverse reactions to things like artificial sweeteners and food colorings".

Are you still alive tup?

[Dom Sullivan]

Are you still alive tup?

Past his use by date, perhaps?

[BrianFaePerth]

Well past.

 

Might get the ouijja board out soon if he doesn't reply.

[Redstar]

I've long suspected the "Specials Board" in every eatery is basically the stuff that's gone past its sell by date and one day from the bin...
