To me if something smells ok and looks ok, it is ok.

Arran2024 · 27/03/2025 18:50

I would

If the packaging doesn't look or feel bloated, then I'm sure it's fine

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 27/03/2025 18:52

I would! Hope you enjoy it.

I wouldn't. If it's 'Eat by' and contains meat it's a no for me. If it's best before then that's different.

I would if it smells ok and the packaging isn't puffed up. Nuke the shit out of it or stir fry for a good while in oil.

I'd eat it. A couple of weeks ago I ate a chicken ready meal that was 2 days out of date and had sat on the shelf in my office all morning. It was fine, no issues.
