Sell/Best by Dates......

Someone i knew was high up in the UK Cheese Guild, and they claimed that Cheese virtually NEVER goes off... it could be as blue and green as you like, and it would still be edible

What about freezer stuff? Have just been reviewing todays dinner options and found something 5 months old that says use within a month. I know someone who claims to take no notice of use by's once frozen - any views?

Eat it!!

My jar of Bovril is a year out of date but still tastes gorgeous.

Bovril tastes disgusting even when it's IN date.

I bought a case of John Smiths in Tescos in Hove, and cracked open a tin when I got home. Tasted fkg awful so I checked the sell by and was amazed to see it was 2 YEARS and 3 MONTHS out of date.

Working in a fish factory , quite often we would strip the sleeves/packets on meals and products that were already frozen (returns and overruns). These would then be re-processed with new best before dates and sent out on orders. Another factory where I live had all the pizzas they had produced for a supermarket returned - so that they could be reboxed and sold as a budget own store brand as they weren't selling at the normal price point.

They were probably using that case of beer to prop open a door in the warehouse. . You should have drunk all the case and took the empty cans back to Tesco and demanded a refund.

If you were drinking tinned John Smiths it would've tasted crap regardless of how new or old it was

Its strange that one day up to midnight the food is perfectly healthy, but 1 second after midnight the next day it has suddenly evolved into evil poisonous mouldy, decayed, zombie stuff.

Well when you drink Coke all the time, it must affect your taste buds.

I bought a chicken from Sainsburys and on the day I bought it went to cook it and it stank. So sent receipt back to Sains' with the bar code (not the chicken) and said it runined my day as had all the family coming round for dinner and had to spend £50 on a takeaway, which was total bolllocks. Week later got a letter saying sorry and a £50 voucher!!
