Would you eat these

[Belle129]

Unopened Yorkshire puddings (fridge ones, not frozen) dated use by 30th December?

I seriously can't imagine a life in which I considered the risk of eating a slightly out of date Yorkshire pudding 😂Im slightly mind blown by that

I'd check for mould first, if none would happily eat them.

Yes, I’m currently eating clotted cream with a use by date of 18th December. I ate half of it last night and survived, so polishing the rest off now.

I grew up before best before and use by dates, probably because less food was processed by factories, but that meant we had to use our senses, sight, smell and if it passes there, the taste test and most importantly, common sense.

I pay no heed to labels, just check it out and trust my own judgement.

I do think it's harder if you've grown up being nannied by labels though, it can destroy people's confidence in their own judgement.

I would eat them quite happily.

Of course!

Best before yes. Use by no

Peak Mumsnet paranoia.

I would say no, but then I’ve been ill on stuff before the ‘use by’ etc dates came in. I was so bad I was hospitalised and that experience means I’m very careful with anything that could be a risk. So with Yorkshires it would be the milk and egg components I’d feel were too much risk for me.

Other members of my family happily eat things out of date, but they haven’t had the experience I’ve had. I just wouldn’t enjoy the food for wondering if I’d be ill on it. I plan meals carefully to avoid any waste.
Fruit and veg I’m relaxed on, but dairy meat and eggs I don’t risk.

It will be absolutely safe to eat. God knows how some people would manage if there was no (necessary) plastic packaging telling you what your own eyes and nose should be able to do.

I make my own, so no use by date needed. It's either made as needed or frozen if I make a bigger batch. That's how I manage.

Yes

Use by, I wouldn't. Best before, I'd give them a sniff and eat them if they pass. I don't take risks with food.

Meanwhile I'm here blown away that you and so many others don't just make Yorkies fresh, they are the easiest thing to make.

Clotted cream survives forever

Its the fat

I use this as a template for a long life myself.

I've never bought a pre made Yorkshire pudding in my life, I was answering the theoretical question, I assume others were doing the same but, yes, maybe I should have added that 😁

Fucks sake.

There’s always one

Obviously check for mould but it's unlikely they'd have any after one day. Things don't suddenly on the strike of midnight on the use by date go from normal to absolutely filth ridden poison.

I've got frozen ones that I think are about four years old!

Best before is a yes, use by is an absolute no.

Had smoked salmon sandwich yesterday and today which was use by 29th December,absolutely fine here.

I ate cream dated the 27th today, smelled and tasted fine

Yeah, they can't read the dates on a calendar.
Date on packaging is normally 'best before' or 'display until"

Yes, no problem

We’ve just eaten a big trifle with a use by date of 28th. It was delicious too.

If they look, smell and feel ok, they'll be fine once cooked. If unsure, I usually just cook them slightly longer/higher.
