WOULD YOU EAT THIS ?

[SquareNull]

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?

yeah I would, taste & smell always, dates are minor info

The flavourings will mean it smells ok but it is not! DB was hospitalised after eating a 'spanish chicken fillet'

For a vegetable sure. For chicken. No

NO.

I suspect the tights might make the chicken a bit chewy...and a week out of date is risking both 💩 and 🤮

No.

Maybe I'm over-cautious with use by dates. But all those who play fast and loose with dates, I wonder when the last time they got a stomach upset was? I've avoided anything like that for at least 10 years and have no desire to get sick.

No. I’m not precious about dates and a day or two over if they looked and smelled ok I’d probably go for it. But a week over, with chicken. No that’s pushing it even for me.

No because it's raw chicken

I just threw a pizza away that in the fridge that was past it's best before date by a few days that had cooked meat on it.

I didn't want to take the chance especially as DS would be the one to eat it and wouldn't bother looking at the best before

Chicken you have to be really careful with. Never eat it after its use by date. Not worth the risk.

I'd only ever do chicken the day after use by. Other meat 2 days. 6 days is absolutely not ok.

Are they raw or pre-cooked?

If it was the 20th, probably. If it was 21st, possibly. But not 6 days later. Don't risk it OP.

No fucking way. Glad you're not doing it. I'm easy going with expiry dates bur even I wouldn't go there.

I try to get into the habit of putting food in the freezer if it's a day past its best before so it's doesn't get forgotten and wasted.

Yes, we've never had a problem with eating out of date food, it's a con. What did you do before best before dates?

Nooooo

Old thread 🤣

Hopefully the op has made a decision by more, given the post is well over a year old.

@CWigtownshire as this thread is over a year old it's a bit late now

Christ, I started reading this not realising it was an old thread. Was dumbfounded that someone would even consider eating chicken over two months past its expiry. I feel a bit queasy.

Why did you drag up a thread well over a year old ? You actually would have had to go looking for it in the search bar

Not necessarily - it might have popped up in the 'similar threads' list at the bottom of another thread. It would, however, have had a zombie warning.

No problem with eating out of date food, no problem with resurrecting out of date threads. I'm seeing a pattern 🙃

I see what you did here
