Milk out of date is horrid.

Yep, it won't hurt. I have eaten loads of tinned foods past their sell by dates. I buy tins with good dates though, but am still surprised how time flies and the tins go past the dates. I am only really fussy with tinned fruit incase it ferments too much. Working once as a date checker for foods in a supermarket, I learnt about dates on foods and know many are not harmful past their dates. I just hate the thought of being wasteful with food anyway.

No because I'd rather eat something else than risk being ill especially if it's meat or dairy

Yes all the time - yer all paranoid
Only ever had food poisoning once years ago and that was from Harrods Pate

God, I had that last year with my cereal and I had diarrhea afterwards. Vile.

Last time I had food poisoning was off out of date meat I was served at my local wetherspoons

god, I've only had it when actually drinking milk, and I normally take a big gulp lol.

sue!

I use to think wetherspoons was really posh until I went.

i eat things if they're 1 day out of date

there was this lovely looking cake i really wanted to eat but i looked at the packet and it said it was 2 days out of date so i was like oh bye

I was with my friends and I didn't want to highlight the fact to them that I'd vomited four times in the toilet

I only go because it's cheap and like ten minutes away from my house :laugh2:

I've never heard of Wetherspoons, what is the food like?

like cheap pub food :(

They're a chain usually attached to pubs or hotels. They do everything tbh you're bound to at least like something on there.

I found semolina in the cupboard once and it was 3 years out of date

Wetherspoons sounds nasty.

ah ok, thanks guys! Sounds like Harvester

You've never walked down any given high street?

No, if I see something that's out of date I throw it out, even if it's just by a day, Im so particular like that.

There aren't any in North London.

You'll often find them as pubs under individual names.

There aren't any in North or West London, some in central.

We have lots of Harvesters, which seem very similar.

Of course there are Wetherspoonseses in North London. :laugh: There are loads on that link alone. You only have to walk around a street corner to find one most of the time.
