Nah, why is the dinner lady beaking at the kids lunch so closely that she can see a sell by date anyway?

The dinner ladies at your DD's school have time to go round and check the sell by dates on things?? Lunch box police gone mad!!

sorry, (in the best AIBU fashion) i forgot to add DD does have additional support at lunchtime, just to jivvy her along in eating (she has ASD traits and can take an hour to eat her lunch)

Nowt wrong with that,we eat stuff that's past it's date.....

Except for the time i made dumplings with out of date suet...it didn't smell and was only a little out of date but fuck me,it was the worst taste in the world.

You do know that they will notice and they will judge you appropriately as is only right and proper. Next you will be telling us it wasn't organic!

Shame on you. Shame indeed.

as if....

We freeze those yogurt pouch things where I live (Australia) so they could be months past their date.

I used to write my DS's name over the sell by date so that preschool couldn't see it. Of course I told them it was because they wouldn't fit in his lunchbox and wanted to make sure he still got to eat it. They were only a day or two over date and completely fine to eat.

A fromage frais will be fine, mine have eaten fromage frais past their date and loved to tell the tale (although we don't usually have them hanging around long enough for that to happen tbh)

Oggy · 15/12/2011 13:04

*lived to tell the tale

santastooearlymustdache · 15/12/2011 13:05

DD3 regularly occasionally eats yoghurts well over a month past the sell by date. And?

It's a culchured innit.

RockStockAndTwoOpenBottles · 15/12/2011 13:49

Or even it's a culchured fing innit.
