If it smells a bit sweet/ spicy don't eat it. We tend to bung it in a curry/ pasta by the end of the week which will be fine if properly hot.

I think the rule for cooked meat is three days max.

four days max, I worked in a deli and this is the health and safety advice.

many thanks - my OH has a very relaxed attitude to food dates and often berates me for worrying too much - I think he is eating eggs dated 18th December!!!!!
