Can I eat a pork pie one day after its use by date?

Just that really. Just noticed the use by date was yesterday and they've been in the fridge since DH bought them on Friday. Can I still eat the last one or shall I throw it away?

I would eat it

Does it smell ok? If it does, you're fine! Trust your instincts not the label.

If it smells ok I would.

The pork pie doesn’t know what day it is Smile

Well it's pork and pickle so it just smells pickle-y. And it's tiny so won't kill me...

No don’t eat it

Brakebackcyclebot · 15/10/2018 17:32

I would chuck it. I babysat once for a child who'd had a pork pie for dinner that was 1 day past use by date. He threw up EVERYWHERE.

If course it’s fine. Unless you’ve had it breeding bacteria in a warm room. It’s cured meat.

ivykaty44 · 15/10/2018 17:56

Yeah but no need to eat it, try some pork scratching instead

PinkHeart5914 · 15/10/2018 17:57

The pork pie didn’t know to go off when the clock turned midnight so eat it, you will definitely live

ivykaty44 · 15/10/2018 17:59

Why would the pie go of? Was there a party in the fridge?

IdahoCrow · 15/10/2018 17:59

I would eat it, unless it smelled off.

fussychica · 15/10/2018 17:59

What Pink said, as long as its been in the fridge all the time it will be fine.

Growingboys · 15/10/2018 18:00

Of course you can! I wouldn't think twice about it!

Yewnicorn · 15/10/2018 18:00

Yes

ivykaty44 · 15/10/2018 18:02

Nooo please leave the pie alone, let it get old

chemenger · 15/10/2018 18:05

I would definitely eat it.

chemenger · 15/10/2018 18:06

Now I want a pork pie and I am in the US. Thanks OP.

lynmilne65 · 15/10/2018 18:06

Really?!Confused

Cooroo · 15/10/2018 18:30

One day? Yes, no worries.

Davros · 15/10/2018 19:54

Eat it, I would. And now I have to go and buy some pork pies tomorrow. Is it one of this M&S pickle topped pies? Mmmm

OlennasWimple · 15/10/2018 19:56

I'd cut it open and peer at the meat to see if it seemed off and then scoff it down because I love pork pies
