I bought one of these, put it in the oven and had about a third of it. They cost £3, I've had them before and they are absolutely scrumptious. Anyway, this one has been in my fridge, on a plate, and covered with the plastic mould that it came out of. It's been in the fridge for probably a good 10 days though, but with no visible sign of anything wrong with it and smells good still. Do you reckon it's safe to eat or must I bin it?

Surely the sponge has gone all hard?
You will be fine eating it though.

I think it's gone a bit hard, but microwaving it will soften it up, and the custard will soften it even more.
Ok thanks, as long as it's safe, then I'll go ahead and if it's rank, I'll spit it out.

That's what she said.
I thought microwaves dried food out even more. I could be wrong though. I am a cooking n00b.
If it feels and tastes fine, eat it.
Oh and make it yourself, £3 can make loads.

Double the syrup IMO.

I'd spit it out myself, but then again that would apply to a fresh one as well ....

the stuff is godly and addictive, syrup on anything. Toast, bread, pancakes, puddings, cornbread, popcorn. Anything and everything.

I put golden syrup on loads of things too 
I HATE honey so anything that should have honey in (except, obviously, things like joints of pork) I will put syrup on instead. Toast, porridge... Yum

OMG your all ganging up on me...
I don't like honey unless its cooked like say the classic glazed ham, syrup for me is Maple and on pancakes and that's it.

That looks really easy and I've had caster sugar and flour in the cupboard for ages, so about time I made use of it. Might give it a try.

Nope, I sometimes microwave my burger buns, because I like them warm and soft.

Tend to do the same thing with the likes of french rolls I've had for a day or two, best way not to chip a tooth
I grill the inside of each sliced half of those for about 30 seconds to lightly toast and crisp them up for my fried egg and cheese quarterpounder burger
Well done Glaucus you have converted somebody!
Oh it's not hard to convert me when sweet things are involved.

I'm with you on this. Would rather have a ginger or jam sponge personally.

Yeah, I grill/toast or microwave the buns, depending on my mood, and depending on the burger.
Microwaving = for the mcdonalds effect.
