I'd use it if it look and smells OK

AThingInYourLife · 11/05/2012 14:15

I would use it unless it smelled bad.

It is only the 11th. Always makes me smile as if at midnight the food suddenly goes off

I don't eat meat but would say definatley ok unless it smells bad. DH would eat if a week or so out of date if it passed the smell test Shock

fuckarama · 11/05/2012 14:18

Smell it.

If it smells OK I'd eat them, but I'd eat them today.

Look at it

If it looks OK, smell it

If it smells OK, taste it

If it tastes OK, eat it

It's dead, and even when it was alive it couldn't read a calendar

It will be fine, assuming it has been constantly refridgerated. Just sniff it first to be certain.

Use-by dates are a guideline as far as I'm concerned!

Well it depends if it is naice turkey or not! If it is cheap stuff it's probably full of preservatives and will keep for ages longer. It's only half a day over the use by date, I'd take a risk Grin

imnotmymum · 11/05/2012 14:22

You do the clock is ticking !! eat it now quickly !!

"even when it was alive it couldn't read a calendar."

Turkeys can read calendars. That's how they know when to vote for Christmas.

Does it look and smell ok? If so, eat and enjoy.

If not, feed to the DH dog.

There is a healthy disregard for sell by/use by dates. If its not walking itself to the bin then it generally gets eaten. Not killed anyone yet
