I have a ready meal in the fridge, and it's a week out of date. I smelled it, and it seems to smell alright, although it's a chinese and they tend to have a strong smell. I'm going out shortly, and I've nothing else to eat, in time anyway.

Any likelyhood it'll kill me? :x
 
Ready meals are awful. The thought of them makes me ill.. Good luck with it though, have you ever seen the documentaries on how those things are made ?

*insert pukey smiley here*

:D
 
I eat things out of date all the time, from a day to a month. Infact probably the majority of things I eat are out of date. I always end up eating the ****** out of the fridge and freezer that doesn't get eat by anyone else. Never done me any harm.
 
There's a simple rule of thumb that works well with most foods i find.

  • If it smells ok...........
  • And if it tastes ok...............
  • Usually, it's ok :)

Sell by dates are often a waste of space in my opinion, go with your nose, it's usually right. We've survived as a race for this long without sell by dates. I'm afraid that as with everything else in modern Britain, it is presumed that we have no common sense.
