Would you eat this... today?

Went out of date on 1st Feb.
Mis-read it when I bought it last week.

Not if I could have baked potatoes instead!

Anything that's been cut, mashed or minced is a lot more dangerous than whole vegetables or pieces of meat- so many more surfaces for bugs to grow on! Pasta and rice can also harbour some nasty bacteria.
