There's a dodgy bit of food in your fridge...

[Lush]

A ready made lasagne 4 days past its sell by date. A chicken leg from last weekends barbecue. A bag of salad - some of it's OK but the rest looks a bit slimy. A pack of sausages from the freezer with a sell-by date of 10 months ago.

Do you...

 

[perseus]

Close the fridge door and do not ever open it.

 

[the full harris]

do not go near the chicken from the barbeque, it will make you very ill! as will the sausages. I wouldn't really trust the lasagne either.

The salad, that might not make you ill or anything but it sounds repulsive so i doubt it would be very enjoyable to eat!


may i suggest 675676.
can't go wrong with them.

I listen to Terry Wogan on Radio 2 in the morning. I am a ToG

Togs take no notice of sell by dates.

 

[the full harris]

ok, i'll ask.

what is a ToG?

The salad, that might not make you ill or anything but it sounds repulsive so i doubt it would be very enjoyable to eat!

A friend of mine threw up for a day on out of date lettuce. Something to do with the way they wash it and bag it?

BTW Yorkie what is a ToG?

 

[Yorkie]

Terry's old Gal or Terry's old Geezer if you're a fella.

 

[Yorkie]

Seriously, I look at the food rather than the label.

If it looks and smells ok then I'll eat it. If it doesn't then I throw it away.

 

[Safeway]

I'd eat the sausages but bin the rest.

Use-by dates on frozen food are more a legal requirement than anything else.

 

[Dover]

Trust your nose! If it smells bad it probably is.

On the other hand I eat yoghurt which is out of date by sometimes a month.

 

[Marshy]

bin it all !

 

[Rangdo]

The only one I wouldn't would be the salad because it looks bad. I think I've probably eaten all the others. I read an article by a chef who said that you can basically double the use by dates on most pre-packaged food apart from fresh meat which you can see has gone off anyway.
I work part time at a supermarket so my entire diet has been made up of out of date food for the last 18 months and I haven't been ill once

 

[aftershavedave]

bin the lot lush..food poisoning ain't no fun!

 

[Titanic]

Seriously, I look at the food rather than the label.

If it looks and smells ok then I'll eat it. If it doesn't then I throw it away.

I'm with Yorkie on this one... trust your eyes and nose!

 

[m20gull]

Feed it to the dogs, they'll eat anything, except olives.

 

[Tooting Gull]

How wrinkly can you let a pepper get before it becomes inedible?

 

[zefarelly]

Lush . . .I thought a Ladiy like yourself only dined at the finest establishments ?

the thought of having to fend for yourself and or prepare your own board of fare must make you feel physically sick


on the realistic side . . . .I'll scrape mould off cheese, but meat is dodgy, bin it, or leave it out and hope top poison a few pigeons

 

[Scotty Mac]

if im hungry, ill eat it
