TheMoog 0 Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 I've just been eating some blue cheese which, if the wrapper is to be believed, went out of date 2 weeks ago - it tasted perfectly fine. I was wondering what other folk on here were like with going by expiry dates and best befores. Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew 899 Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 blue cheese with an expiry date? Link to post Share on other sites
Meenzer 4,191 Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Most things are fine a bit after the date really, and if they're not then you can tell by look or smell. I'd be a bit suss about blue cheese though, because neither of those indicators really help much. Link to post Share on other sites
StevenL 0 Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 When it comes to milk I'm very picky about it, but I go off the smell more then the date on the bottle. Link to post Share on other sites
JawD 8 Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Anything like milk I'm funny with. Don't even like it warm (unless it has coffee in it). Bread if there is a bit of mould the whole loaf goes. Any meat stuffs or eggs are binned after the date. Â Other stuff depends if it's best before or use by. Link to post Share on other sites

noaliasmike 0 Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 A few days ago I found a yoghurt in the fridge a couple of weeks past it's use by date. I opened it, checked it for mould, smelt it, etc. Seemed okay. Until about halfway through where it started to taste a bit funny. Anyway, I just put it back in the fridge. Wonder what it's doing now?

Ant 332 Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 i'm fussy about it, if it's past it i chuck it (and i know a lot of the time it's fine) bread, even if it's a brand new loaf i check every time (had a sandwich half way through it and and seen mould years ago and it turned my stomach instantly) Â the best example i have for people being fussy and then completely ignoring it on other stuff is tomato/brown sauce, it's meant to be hoofed a couple of weeks after opening, and stored in a fridge.

Andrew 899 Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 The only thing I'm wary of is milk and rice  Milk just because I like fresh, very cold milk  Rice after watching Jimmys food factory where I found out that reheating rice doesn't get rid of the stuff in it that can make you ill Link to post Share on other sites

Andrew 899 Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Aye but it'll be room temperature dammit!  I used to post on harmony central a few years ago and there was once a thread with hundreds of posts in it dedicated to debating whether ketchup should be refridgerated or not  It was an odd place Link to post Share on other sites

Lake Bells tits 1 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) Food is very straight forward. People have trust their noses for centuries and millennia. If its foul, it will smell. Hard to miss really. Â Pisses me off how much good food is hoyed every day, almost to the point of going dumpster diving. ( if you do, stay away from the food that has been in contact with the juices in the bottom of the bin, that shit is toxic) Â I have done it once at the local store, just to see what was actually being tossed. Quite alot actually.. aside from loads of day fresh bakery products, you had premium ham, minced meat, milk etc.. Edited May 2, 2012 by Lake Bells tits Link to post Share on other sites
Southern Geordie 1 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 I've come to the end of a sandwich and noticed that there is mould on it. Didn't do me any harm. Also eaten a chocolate bar without realising the best before date was 6 months before. I was miffed that this shop still stocked it but that tastes fine and didn't do me any harm either. Chocolate is something you can keep for ages apparently Link to post Share on other sites
