I realise that one has to be careful with fresh food and that all fooodstuffs must now have an expiry date by law, but there seems to be an obsession with people around me to throw out perfectly good stuff because of a date.
Cans have a date but the very fact that they are canned means they last!
Surely common sense should prevail with alot of this wastage. Unfortunately it seems common sense is being bred out of the gene pool....my own son (I have a great deal of CS) refused to feed his dog a can of Pedigree chum because it was 2 weeks out of date ....he's obviously earning too much.
The more people I meet, the more I love my animals!
oooooow dont get me started on this one !! bloody morons cant think for themselv's .but up side is people wont do out of date stuf out of ignorance so its more for less for those of us who do.half the time we practicaly live out of the SKUTY BINS (tescoes last night 95% off best beef )it was still blood red hadent even started to mature .MOS (with a freezer full of beef for £3.25)
sit down with a cupa and the urge will subside
Did find out that trying to defrost a chicken that wasn't frozen resulted in a rather smelly unhealthy mess - this is one of the first times in my life I am throwing something out , senior moment I think
I'm another one who's more guided by smell and feel rather than dates, although I am wary when assessing chicken, pork or fish. Shopping at the market means your food rarely comes with a "best befoer" sticker on it, so you're forced to use your own judgement. I discovered that cream that was very close to, or a little past its use by date is much better for making pasta sauce than fresh cream.
Also, I don't understand the workmate who threw out carrots because they were out of date. Surely you can look at a carrot and decide if it's ok or not to eat? Surely people can't be that afraid of food?

He's a man....not easy to work out the logic...is there any logic????....
