Smells OK - but I've got a bit of a cold so can't tell really....

No. Btw, you can’t smell food poisoning bacteria.

Viviennemary · 17/02/2023 12:21

No. Get rid of it.

JMSA · 17/02/2023 12:21

I definitely wouldn't.

PopsicleHustler · 17/02/2023 12:22

No way, I had one yesterday one day out and that's my absolute max. It was a broccollI and cheese quiche. I would never eat quiche Lorraine.

You can lose 5lbs fast with the 'shit-yourself-thin' diet but you will put it all back on again as soon as you can keep anything down.

I regularly eat things that are a week past their date but I would be careful with anything containing eggs.

MrsSkylerWhite · 17/02/2023 12:24

No, the bacon will be gone.

crazeecatladee · 17/02/2023 12:28

Providing it has been kept refrigerated, it would probably be ok. If it is just a best before date then that indicates a loss of quality/mouthfeel/texture, rather than a food safety issue. I'd serve it but we have iron guts!

Onnabugeisha · 17/02/2023 12:29

Thing is, fresh foods with meat/eggs don’t have best before dates, they have use by dates.

crazeecatladee · 17/02/2023 12:30

@MrsSkylerWhite bacon is a preserved meat

WhisperingAutistic · 17/02/2023 12:37

I eat some things past their date but I wouldn't risk it with eggs.

Yes it is. Still goes off though, once the pack is opened. Preservation doesn’t work for ever, particularly unsmoked.

If bought, its been kept in the fridge and unopened then yes. If not refrigerated definitely not. If opened and refrigerated - probably as there will be so many preservatives in a bought product. If home made - not sure! Probably but it would depend on how it looked.

Nope

humpty74 · 17/02/2023 13:33

I would, but I'd heat it thoroughly if it was past date rather than just eating from cold.

Diverging · 17/02/2023 13:35

No a quiche with meat would likely be ok a day past but wouldn’t risk 4.
