WOULD YOU EAT THIS ?

Ok, I just found some Chinese style chicken tights which expired on the 19th June. Completely forgot about them! I opened the package and it doesn’t smell bad or anything, just like sauce. I can’t see how it looks like because of the sauce it’s covered tho but it’s been in the fridge not freezer.

Upon the inspection I put them in the oven. Make sure they are cooked as always.

Would you eat it? Is it ok to do so?

Nope, not chicken

Nope

ZittiEBuoni · 25/06/2023 17:38

Noooo, step away! Please tell me they're in the bin!

LaPerduta · 25/06/2023 17:38

I think you're meant to wear tights, not eat them.

SquareNull · 25/06/2023 17:39

Ok on my way to turn the oven off!

No absolutely not

blahblahblah1654 · 25/06/2023 17:39

Eurgh no. I'm definitely not precious about dates either.

ChessieFL · 25/06/2023 17:39

I’m incredibly relaxed about best before dates but I wouldn’t eat chicken that’s 6 days past when you can’t see/smell the meat properly to tell if it’s off.

LaPerduta · 25/06/2023 17:40

How has no-one else spotted the typo?

I wouldn't eat chicken that's 6 days past its 'use by' date.

Thank goodness! Honestly it's just not worth it, if you don't want to go to work tomorrow there are about 100 better ways than spending it hugging the toilet. 😆

You beat me to it 🤣

But seriously OP, I eat out of date things all the time, but not things like chicken and especially not by a week, a day or 2 maybe.

Definitely not! Particularly not in this weather. Also, you may have thought they smelt OK but the spices in the coating could have considerably masked any deterioration.

SquareNull · 25/06/2023 17:43

Thighs yes! I swear this is not the poisoning effect! 😂

I am super lax about food stuff and I absolutely would not eat chicken a week out of date!

YeahIsaidit · 25/06/2023 17:53

Meat like beef might be alright a day or two past use by but chicken not a chance especially after 6 days

StrawberryWater · 25/06/2023 17:54

From the fridge? Absolutely not. You’re asking for a week on the loo.

Frozen? Sure.

That's what I thought too. Plain chicken you might be able to smell but not in a sauce. I wouldn't eat them.
