Bloke goes into bakers shop in Glasgow, points to the cake display and asks the girl behind the counter: "Is that a donut or a meringue?". Girl replies "You're no' wrang, it's a donut"

Scoffed some Tesco's sarnies with a use-by date of May 3rd yesterday, no probs. Contents were cheese and pickle, fairly longlasting. Bread was fine though which surprised me.

An ex girlfriend of mine had food in her cupboards that was up to five years out of date. Whilst she was out one afternoon, I binned the whole lot. She threw a hissy and we had a very heated 'debate'.

Aside from her poor domestic habits, she was a needy neurotic anyway. Thus the reason she is the aforementioned 'ex'.

Re the Op's Meringue: I would have thought being two years out of date, it would have tasted like shit anyway?

Oh, for the days before everything had a ruddy date on it. If it looked and smelt OK, you ate it. I ignore dates and follow the same principle now:)

Meade had a bad case of the two-bobs this eve. In espanol at the minute and this afternoon I suspected a possibly refrozen macadamia nut ice cream I'd bought in this natural steambath place to have loosened my guts. Either that or the sheer quantity of eggs I've necked in tortilla form and beyond this week. Am hopeful the huge dose of croquetas and stewed veg this evening will stay within me during the night as I fly back in the morning and I don't think I'd like to bid the attendants farewell with the knowledge they're to mop up my crumby bumjuice before next take-off.

I didn't realise it was expired until after I ate it...

Uh oh. Can I ask what prompted you to look at the expiry date after you ate it? I can think of no reason that doesn't involve you being fearful of having just been poisoned....

It was in the cupboard, i opened it, looked fine, I ate it. Then when I went to throw the box away I saw the date...

The dates are all rubbish - it's just 'best before' usually, not 'under no circumstances eat after this date'. I'm another 'if it looks and smells OK I'll eat it' person.
