Aibu ...a massive argument over a pack of sausages

[Essiejohn345]

This is so ridiculous but anyway ...
Last Friday I bought a pack of Richmond sausages and opened them.
Today got home and boyfriend had made a sausage sandwich for him and one for me.
Tasted it and it tasted funny...kind of sour.
Anyway I looked in fridge and they were still in date but had been open a week.
I said I wouldn’t eat that,it tastes awful.
He started shouting expiry date was today etc etc.
I threw mine away.
He started moaning we won’t be buying sausages anymore now...then he ate it.
Should I just have ate it?
If it was in date would it be ok?

Is he blind? It will say on the pack ‘consumer within 2 days of opening’ or something.

How do people get through life with such a basic lack of life skills?

Why have you not cooked the sausages and just left them opened for a week?

Seriously?

Sell by dates only apply to unopened food. An opened pack of sausages need to be used within 2-3 days.

Imagine can of beans with an expiry date of March 2019. ( That's usual)
Do you think that you can use half then keep the opened tin for a year?

You're both being unreasonable for eating crappy Richmond's sausages whether they're in date or out of date. Other than that, a lot of fuss over nothing on both sides.

This is why we started buying Richmond sausages frozen. Taste just as good, can cook from frozen and they don't freeze in a lump -many sharp knives ruined trying to seperate a sausage ice lump!!

Ouch, pork poisoning. It's a sore one. Good luck to him.

I’d probably have eaten it (obvs I didn’t taste it - but I’m usually v relaxed about use by dates) but there’s no need to have a huge argument about this. Have a hug and make up!

My attitude would be let him eat it and serves him right if it makes him ill: there's no telling some people.

I.like Richmond sausages but any way you can buy the frozen ones. And just cook as an when needed saves arguments?

I really like cheap crappy sausages like Richmonds even though I know they're awful and made of 90% sawdust and 10% rectum.

As an Irish person Richmond Sausages really piss me off. Well, as much as a breakfast pork product can piss one off. They say they're Irish sausages yet I've never seen them on sale in Ireland and no self respecting Irish person would give those mucky tubes of anus and eyelids the time of day.

Waitrose do a pack of 8 basic sausages for about £1.50 they’re really nice for that price.

Given there's hardly any meat in them YABU to buy them but NU to chuck out. Food poisoning can be really debilitating. Him saying you won't buy sausages any more is very childish. Sort that.

Hope he makes it to the toilet in time OP

My DH says the same with bacon.

Bacon has quite a long shelf life, so he’ll open it and after days will claim that it still has weeks on the use by date.

It doesn’t work like that!

You’re boyfriend is being an arse, you are being sensible, he hasn’t learned from mistakes and I wonder how his stomach will thank him.....?

90% saw dust and 10% rectum. I had a good loud chuckle at that.

Do you have a butcher nearby who makes their own sausages? Try those. More expensive, but .... (won't keep any longer either though).

My favourite Sausages are the frozen supermarket own brand gluten free ones, cool from frozen so no waste. Worth trying them, and a higher meat content than Richmonds (which personally I hate the texture of)

Richmond aren't on sale in Ireland. The 'irish' thing is to do with the recipe, which they claim has Irish provenance.

They are totally rank though. Check out the meat content, it's as low as it's legally allowed to be.

You should have eaten it, got food poisoning then shat on his fucking face!

Bastard.

Why does he get to call you controlling, at the same time as shouting at you?

What does it matter to him if you choose not to eat it.

He's been very unreasonable and you deserve an apology

I never can find a nice sausage.

Howling, tenancy, howling
