Just (accidentally) ate a slice of chorizo which was best before Christmas Eve...

How ill am I likely to be? It was only a wee slice. It tasted odd so I then checked the packet.

I usually have a fairly cast iron stomach. Have taken two Rennies. Not sure why, but it seemed like a wise course of action.

Slept well all night, no sickness. Looks like I got away with it. Phew.

I’ve rarely eaten in date chorizo. We have often had some a good year out of date. As long as the meat hasn’t actually gone rancid then you’re fine. Even then it just tastes horrible it doesn’t actually do you any harm. Or that’s our experience.

Ha it’s cured meat - as long as it wasn’t moldy you’ll be fine. My DH once served salami about three months out of date!
