Would you eat this fish pie?

Charlie Bingham, bought last week, use by date is today. I normally eat these things on the day of purchase.

Yes of course.
I'm surprised you're asking if the date on it is today?

Yes of course, it isn't out of date, I don't understand the question tbh

Yep, use by dates on processed food are pretty cautious. With fish I probably wouldn't go beyond the use by date, but I'd be fine to eat it today.

Just get on and eat it.
Get it gone.

Yes I’d open it and if it smelt off I wouldn’t bother cooking it - if it smells ok I would cook it and give it a taste and it tastes off I wouldn’t eat it
that’s a criminal waste tho isn’t it - something so nice

Why is this even a question?

I know what you mean, OP; I'm a bit twitchy about use-by dates, leftovers etc, especially things like fish.
But I'd be OK with using this on its last day. I always heat ready meals to approximately the temperature of the sun anyway and I assume you'll be doing the same.

Yes of course, unless you're about to say you left it on a radiator all week

Of course.

No reason to be twitchy. Earlier today I ate some fancy salmon pate that I bought reduced yesterday so had a use by date that was yesterday. I do this sort of thing all the time and I've never been ill. It was delicious and a bargain.

Like a PP says, how is the OPs question even a question?

Absolutely fine, wouldn't think twice about it.

I’d eat it even if the date was yesterday!

There may be no reason, but nonetheless I am.
It doesn't negatively affect my life in any way, so I'm not unduly bothered by it.

It's a question because the OP has some reservations about it. I have been able to apply my imagination and put myself in her place, and answer nicely rather than scoffing or undermining her.
