Out of date food and drink

[MJsGhost]

Hoisted me three foot clear of the seat and I had to sponge down me thighs with hessian sacking.

Trapped in a box by a cockney nutjob
‘Ave a cuppa tea, ‘ave a cuppa tea
I’m the Hitcher – let me put you in the picture
Creepin’ in your room in the dead of night
Wiv me solo polo vision.

I had some dodgy brie a while back.
My back passage sounded like a tyre going over cats eyes, it was spluttering like the starter on an outboard motor for a good half-hour. And man alive, the smell. the SMELL.

The toilet water didn't fully clear for days.

Most companies don't set the sell by dates a food lab will indicate an expected life and the food company will be very cautious on the life they give the product ... basically if it's looks and smells Ok it's PROBABLY Ok, except egg based products, leave them for whoever nicks food out of your fridge, that'll teach 'em!

Something can have quite a long sell by date BUT ONCE YOU'VE OPENED IT, it usually says eat within two days (or so).

If your pineapple was in one of those plastic containers from the fruit section I reckon it was the pineapple that got you. God knows what opening the container does to the food though.

Cheese keeps for weeks after the sell by date.

Your quality specialist Cheese shop(no not Asda), will take a wheel of sweaty or mould speckled cheese and just cut off the affected ends.Cheese inproves with age so says our local Cheesemonger.
Now water biscuits,they are past eating when they loose the "snap".

But Fish(not in a tin) is best eaten on the day of purchase.
Anything in a freezer will be eatable for eternity,flavour may be lost with age but frozen food can do no harm,equally anything in a sealed glass jar or undamaged tin can(not perforated or attacked by the contents so the plating inside is sound)is totally safe to eat.

If it smells ok and it's the right colour then it's ok

Don't know about pineapple, but quite a lot of stuff is sealed in nitrogen to provide a less reactive environment.....opening the container thus removes this protection.

Doctor told my mother not to take Immodium as it solidifies the deposit but doesnt affect the virus which caused the runs in the first place. There is obviously a bug going round as I was in that position of being scared to move on Sunday but improved Monday and was OK yesterday.

 

[Nottseagull]

if you put eggs in water and they float then they are off (released bad gases make them float) if they sink they are ok

Isn't that the same naff way that they decided if women were witches?

 

[seven stands]

here is a fact

look at the best before date on a packet of crisps or nuts and its allways a saturday

 

[defrocked priest]

Set your refrigerator dial to the lowest temp. 3C.

PS I can tell you from uncomfortable experience that there's a particularly unpleasant stomach bug going round at the moment, so it was probably that you had and not the pineapple
<looks for diarrhoea smiley but has to make do with a >

I can second that, had one for about 2 weeks.
