AIBU to say no to these sausages?

[Creativebee]

DH has found some Richmond vegetarian sausages in the freezer that went out of date in June last year. On the back of the packaging it says freeze 2 days before use by date and then consume within 1 month. He thinks they’ll be fine! I’m worried that I’ll be spending the next two nights looking at the bathroom door or worse the inside of the toilet bowl? Tell me IANBU please

Totally fine. I just opened up a package of string cheese that I had frozen in June of 2019, they are actually better than the fresh ones I’m currently eating 😳!

It wouldnt do any harm to chuck them in the bin, either.

100% fine I wouldn’t even give it a thought. They aren’t nice though.

@Coughee

I wouldn't unless I was starving and I had no choice. Its use by not best before and its waaaaay out of date. A week or so I'd chance it but not months and months. Why risk it?

Do you understand what a freezer does?

I'd eat them, it's totally fine.

Why are there so many threads about best before dates of frozen stuff at the moment?

I can’t really believe anyone actually checks this. If it doesn’t have freezer burn it will be absolutely fine.

Richmond sausages on the other hand - 70% paper shavings, 15% rusk, 15% arseholes

I wouldn’t. I have a delicate tum.

@ShirleyPhallus they’re vegetarian - they’re arsehole free 🤣

Use by dates don't apply to frozen food! What would be the point of putting something in a freezer if it did?

Vegetarian arseholes…. Carrot rings then

I would be on it like vomit 👍

I bloody love a Richmond veggie sausage.

I’d eat them.

I think they’ll be fine but I said yanbu because you’re quite within your rights not to eat them!

They’ll be fine but won’t taste as good as real sausages 😬

Out-of-date frozen stuff won't make you ill (bacteria don't grow in the freezer...) but it might be tasteless and dried out. Make sure you have plenty of vegetarian gravy to go with them.

They'll be fine.

I routinely keep real meat in the freezer for way longer than the recommended timescales and it has never done me any harm. Never done the meat any harm either - I've only had stuff get ruined in the freezer if it wasn't sealed properly.

@ShirleyPhallus 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm jewish so don't eat pig - my boyfriend said they're a pretty fool-proof vegan alternative!

They'll be fine.

@Creativebee

Ok…I guess I’m having sausages tonight , I will say a small prayer and hope I survive

Are you still with us?

Vegetarian Sausages? Tasteless and dried out? Why bother? just have beans on toast.

You should bin them

because Richmiond sausages are horrible, filled with a wet pink slurry.
