Can I eat these vegetarian sausages?

[msmolli]

This isn't pork sausages, used by date 24 May. What do you think. Packet unopened and I just found it in my fridge. Really fancy them with fried potatoes and beans tonight.

Well its use by date was 2 and a half weeks ago so no I wouldn’t. If it was a best before then maybe I could see why people would. But that’s ages past its use by date, meat isn’t the only food that can cause good poisoning

wtf

is my response

If it's a Use By date then I wouldn't, as it's a very long way past. If it's a best before, then I might, if they seemed ok - smell, texture, taste etc.

I’m loose and free with dates but even I wouldn’t do this…

Ew, please don’t.

No

No, you can get food poisoning from vegetarian food as easily as from meat. Bin them and run to the shop for more if that’s really what you fancy.

Ah...ok. I get it. I think you are all correct. Hate wasting food.

Absolutely not!

Clearly given you were remotely considering this!

Presumably had you gone ahead and done this - it would have only been for yourself and no one else??

Too long - I’m vegetarian but a moist processed product like this is asking for trouble
