DH is away. He would be horrified.

It wouldn't worry me.

At all.

FelicityWasCold · 08/02/2013 17:16

Yanbu unless it looks mouldy.

manicbmc · 08/02/2013 17:16

So long as it looks and smells okay, then it will be fine.

motherinferior · 08/02/2013 17:17

If it does, cut the mouldy bits off.

usualsuspect · 08/02/2013 17:17

I wouldn't give it a second thought.

StrawberryMojito · 08/02/2013 17:17

Good job he's away then. What he doesn't know won't upset him.

thebody · 08/02/2013 17:17

Its fine if it smells and looks fine.

My dh would be horrified if I didn't use it!

MrsDoomsPatterson · 08/02/2013 17:18

It's bread, it's garlic and a bit of butter - I think you'll be fine.

WowOoo · 08/02/2013 17:18

Your Dh needs to toughen up. Would he really be horrified ?

Nobody needs to know.. Nobody gets hurt!

sooperdooper · 08/02/2013 17:18

It wouldn't bother me in the slightest, I'd have fed it to him too and not told him

Pickles101 · 08/02/2013 17:20

YANBU. At all. Can't stand it when people chuck things away purely because it's got a date printed on it.

Bejeena · 08/02/2013 17:21

With garlic bread no it is totally fine a day out of date. As long as no mould of course!

With chicken and eggs I would personally still eat myself but probably think twice before giving to other people/children.

But not with non meat/dairy products, I ignore the dates

IHeartKingThistle · 08/02/2013 17:22

dammit I was so going to cook it but there are some mould spots underneath. grr! thanks anyway!

BreakOutTheKaraoke · 08/02/2013 17:22

I would eat it up to 2 weeks out of date. No mould, it's getting eaten!

MrsDoomsPatterson · 08/02/2013 17:22

Eggs fresh from the chicken's bum don't have a date - we're all far too date crazy, so much waste.

HeadfirstForHalos · 08/02/2013 17:22

I only use dates as a guide. I've had bread which has gone mouldy before the date, other loaves have lasted a couple of days longer than the date!

Just look at it and sniff it.

Cassarick · 08/02/2013 17:23

Bloody hell, OP........just bloody hell!! One sodding day out of date - really?

grovel · 08/02/2013 17:23

Scrape the mould off.

Bertrude · 08/02/2013 17:24

I think shops tend to err open the side of caution anyway to try to avoid pele suing. Once the packet of anything is opened, you'll be able to tell if it's edible or not by the smell or the obvious mould.

Chicken however I wouldn't risk because husband has had terrible campylobacter from dodgy chicken. Everything else, garlic dad included, is fair game.

MechanicalTheatre · 08/02/2013 17:24

I wouldn't even think about it twice.

Yet I've seen my flatmate throw out vegetables because they were "out of date". Even though they were still crisp.

VEGETABLES.

thebody · 08/02/2013 17:24

Practically penicillin.

Bertrude · 08/02/2013 17:24

Garlic bread, obviously. Not garlic dad. That'd be weird.

MechanicalTheatre · 08/02/2013 17:24

Does Pele often sue people over out of date garlic dad then?

[boggles]

Bertrude · 08/02/2013 17:25

And people suing, not just Pele in particular. I don't think he's into that, much.

Flisspaps · 08/02/2013 17:26

I wouldn't have even checked for mould Blush
