Eggs best before 16 Dec, would you eat them?

[Yankydoodledandy]

So my eggs are 2 days old....want them for brekkie, will.they be ok?

Yep

I'd definitely eat them.

DH wouldn't because he's incredibly hypersensitive to hydrogen sulphide - we think he sensitised himself to it doing experiments in his garage when he was teaching himself A level chemistry because his teacher was crap, so he's an extreme outlier.

I loved the system we had when I lived abroad - we had made on/packed on/picked on date on fresh stuff. So it was easy to know what order to use things in, but none of this "did it go off at the stroke of midnight" stuff. You had to use common sense along with your nose and eyes.

Absolutely would eat eggs past their best before date - especially that close to the date. Probably wouldn't use them in anything requiring raw egg but would definitely cook them.
Eggs aren't laid with a date on!

I wouldn't even question it. I often eat eggs after their BB date. Especially only 2 days after. They're always still fine.

Mine are sometimes two months past the sell by date but they sink in a glass of water so I use them and haven't had running trips to the loo

UPDATE
Never keep in fridge. Done the water test and they sink!!!

I wouldn't, but I'm unfortunately obsessed by dates on food. I realise for most it would be the norm to just eat them.

I had eggs for breakfast. No idea what date is on them. They were lovely.

Definitely never keep in the fridge and hooray that they sink! Get stuck in and enjoy them.

Yes. Absolutely.

Yes

I'd use them. We often have eggs well over the use by date, Sony ever had one bad one.

What a lovely, sensible thread.

I buy my eggs from a farm so no dates!!

I also never keep in the fridge!

Are you me? Very same dilemma last night. Did the water test. We ate them. All fine.

From the title, I thought OP was asking about Easter Eggs. I thought, who has chocolate left uneaten for 8 months?!

Going off piste here but I’ve recently eaten a yoghurt which was 3 months over the Best Before date (BBF).
It didn’t taste bad & didn’t look bad. I didn’t suffer any after affects or illness.

Too much good food is wasted because of the BBF dates which are cooked up by manufacturers & suppliers.

Like others on here, I don’t take any notice of dates on eggs either. I’ve never come to any harm & I don’t store them in the fridge.

Crack on OP.
