Packet of mackeral - 24/10/19

Hi - would it still be ok? I am a bit fussy about food that is out of date. It is smoked I believe (not at home at mo).

Your thoughts??

Yes I'd eat it unless it was very obviously off when I took it out.

I'm sure it will be fine to eat, especially as it's smoked.

Give it a sniff and make sure it's not gone mushy ... I eat really out of date food though

Thanks! I have not been at home for a few days so have had no opportunity to eat it.

Absolutely, unless it smells bad.

If it’s smoked i’d eat it.
Any thoughts on Black Forest gateau dated yesterday?

Is it a use by or a best before?

I can't remember but to be honest i have not fancied eating it anyway with this cold so I may well chuck it. Wasteful I know....

Yes smoked fish kept in a fridge will be fine. The whole point of smoking is to preserve it even without refrigeration. If you’re concerned then maybe cook it too - I like it hot on toast with scrambled eggs.

That's an idea - with scrambled egg! However, I think I may have already chucked it. Not thinking straight at the mo - cold head!
