will past-it sausage rolls kill me?

[easy]

I've got sausage rolls which were best before 7th feb. I've jut put them in the oven,. If I heat them thru' properly, will they be alright.

Oh, and on the packet it says "once opened eat within 2 days", but the packet has been opened for 5 days. They didn't growl at me tho'.

I wouldn't sausage rolls are terrible when they are bad, they really give you the whatsits

They may well growl at you later this evening and you, in turn will be growling at the loo.

I wouldn't and I have a certificate in Basic Food Hygiene (she says poncily) but YNWIM

So do i suzy, so there

I wouldn't eat them

I also have very grubby kitchen and an unspeakable corner of my fridge, but I do draw the line at sausagerolls

oh, perhaps I'd better not then

Damn, I can smell them warming now too.

Right, I'll search the fridge for something else. No lunch cos I was posting

i'd probably eat them but i have an iron stomach from years of treating sell by dates with airy disdain....and when you are caught out, boy do you vow never to do it again. my mum used to give us youghurts that were going fizzy when we were little, so many days past their sell by were they. We used to think they were some kind of crazy new kids product. Never made us ill tho'.

Thats the thing squirmy, I normally use sell by dates as a rough guide (they're just a marketing tool I think), and if it passes the 'sniff test' I go ahead

Right, slung out the SRs, in favour of stilton sandwich (so mouldy food anyway ).

In the bottom of the bread bin I've just found a packet of crumpets dated 28th January. They've sort of shrink-wrapped themselves !

Good luck!

It's very hard to eat properly during the day isn't it, presume you are sahm with little kids?
My daytime diet is dreadful, just no time!

easy, I like your style!

I picked white fluffy sub-mouldy bits off some bread today before toasting it.

go on then, what horrid things can you find in your fridge or cupboards. Reprt back by 8:00 p.m. please

My DH has a jar of specially fermented tofu, but that is considered a delicacy.
I consider it an abomination.
I have some spring onions that are cripsy at one end and slimey at the other and a packet of icing from 2001

cleaned out cupboards last month and found

1. nasty packet of red lentils with evil looking weevilly grubs in residence
2. jar of preserved (!) lemons with sell by of 1999 (and I've only lived here since 2000)
3. several out of date tins of soup - didn't know tins of soup could even go out of date.
4. pasta that had gone sort of white and blotchy looking in places

currently in fridge -

1. black slimy thing posing (according to packet) as little gem lettuce
2. organic carrot hard at one end and slimy at the other
3. jar of purple sugar that I swear was once blackcurrant jam
4. thai fish sauce with a 2001 sell by (how could you EVER tell from the smell?)
5. tartare sauce from 2002, mayo ditto
6. a particularly attractive pot of double cream from early january (complete with green crusty coating) and a companion pot of pre-xmas creme fraiche
7. ready meal with sell by of 9 feb that I'm having tonight

Have to say that I would have eaten your sausage rolls if I wasn't pregnant. My kitchen cupboards are all cleared - did them recently. Have just done bathroom cabinet. Chucked out Sennakot with date of 1999, syrup of figs with date of 2001 and athlete's foot powder with date of 1996. I remember getting the athlete's foot when I was at secondary school - I am now 30 and have been to university, spent a year in America, rented two places in this country myself and this is my second house with DH.... Nto sure the powder came with me to all these locations - might have languished in my bedroom at my parent's house for part of this time.

You'll all pleased to know i am ready otbe sick ready this thread! Yuk Yuk Yuk.

I am also terrible at having of date things in the fridge - even though some of the things make me heave i still don't remember to use them before they go off!

My father never seems to throw anything out. He has a packet of blancmange mix dated 1972 LOL!

Every time I look in his fridge I'm amazed he's still alive!
