Bitch better have my Monday

Love the thread title. That's all.

Omg some of you are living DANGEROUSLY! I’ve had enough food poisonings to know not to keep anything beyond its 'best before'. I usually use or get rid of at the latest a day or two before said date!

What? I’m FRAGILE

You really must be fragile DC! Although snails and frogs legs would probably give me a dicky tummy if I ate them every day.

Best Before only means the food will be best before that date but it's still safe to eat afterwards. Use By dates are a bit stricter.

Well I clearly don't eat moldy old food, but sell-by/best-by dates are bullshit and if the food looks and smells fine it is fine

or exactly what @Alex already said

Mr F used to watch a programme called Eating History where a couple of blokes deliberately ate food that was years, and sometimes decades, out of date. They'd find a sealed tin of 90 year old pilchards, open the tin and discuss what it looked and smelled like before eating some of it. I only used to watch it to see them retching their stomach contents into a bucket

Well that sounds truly horrifying. I would be interested in old McDonald's burgers and stuff like that, given their reputation
