Tetrapak carton of custard, been open 3 weeks. Smells fine. Would you eat?

The custard looks and smells fine, it's been in the fridge a while though! Is it safe to eat?

I wouldn't. I'm surprised it looks and smells fine tbh

i wouldn't.

(and i'm normally the one that says "go ahead, it's fiiiine")

onehand - custard does that.

Don't do it! You will be sick as a greedy custard filled dog.

It's all the preservatives trying to trick me!

Just stewed a load of lovely rhubarb and wanted some with custard! Will have to send DH to co op now.

No way. How could you have opened custard in your fridge and resist eating it for three weeks?

Probably not.

Forgot it

Bought it for my spotted dock which went wrong (no steamer so tried to cook in Bain Marie and it still had bits of suet undissolved when I ate it boak )

no, I wouldn't

Spotted dick obv!

Yuk. No. I bet when you tip it out there will be green bits in it. And if there is not, I wouldn't want to eat something so full of preservatives.

spotted dock I read in the voice of the allo allo policeman

Noooooo. I love custard but not 3 weeks old. Bleeurgh

I'm going to resist. From now on I'm buying sachets of instant custard you make with boiling water as well. This happens every sodding time I buy a big carton of custard.

Buy the one portion cartons - the size of a yoghurt pot, they sell them in packs of 4. Ambrosia and Aldi do a version. Does one generous adult portion.

Just buy birds custard powder. When I realised how easy it was I was about the ready made stuff.

Nooo - I'm a maverick with these things but honestly no! I once ate custard that old by accident and it tasted of soil! My Mum made me down brandy to help 'kill off the bugs' (I was 17)

No I wouldn't eat it and I wouldn't buy it again either - how much rubbish is in that food to make it look perfect after 3 weeks of being exposed to bacteria. Yuck!

Hell no!

you can make custard you know.

Wouldn't touch it, I know someone who was really ill with food poisoning due to a dodgy custard slice.
