Do you eat expired food?

[GreenJ]

it depends what it is lol

 

[UltraMagnus]

as I said in the other thread, sometimes, especially fruit that seems to have an almost random expiry date, fruit like pineapple is usually good for atleast a week after its expiration date (I am talking whole pineapple, not tinned shit)

 

[Psyfira]

If it's within about week and it still looks fine then yeah, hasn't killed me yet. Only exception is milk and eggs, the thought of milk past it's date just makes me feel ill. That and I have a rubbish sense of smell so I don't trust myself to notice if it's gone off anyway.

Ultramagnus: since when did fruit come with an expiry date?

 

[Noitora]

I would never eat expired food....

well, if you buy it in carton's then they usually have one printed on that. and M&S have a habbit of putting stickers or hangtags on their larger fruit....

Sometimes I eat expired food by accident. But other than that, it depends on what it is.

 

[Reaper]

H*CK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I buy loads of food, prepare it, let it sit for weeks, and eat it

I've eaten Spaghetti-O's that were 1 1/2 years past it's due date and lived to tell about it and no food poisoning neither. I'll eat cereals that are up to 4 months past its expiration date but nothing else. I wouldn't eat that moldy bread though, but I know someone who ate a couple of slices of moldy bread as a bet, and he got queasy afterwards.

Wow, so many people chuck their milk out early I'm kinda surprised. Milk can be a tricky one though. I've had the odd carton that starts to smell before the best before date and some that seem ok for several days afterwards. It won't kill you though, just taste funny. You can actually make gone off milk into a kinda soft cheese believe it or not.

The dates for fruit are unreliable so I don't look at those any more and just manually inspect the fruit before eating.
Other stuff depends on what it is. If it's a use by date eg: not a good idea to eat after that date for the sake of your health then I trash it.
If it's a best before date eg: safe to eat but may not be at it's best like bread might be a bit dryer but fine for toast etc... then I normally check it over first and then decide.
If it has anything growing on it it's history. I don't know how people can just cut mold off of cheese and eat the good bits. It might be fine technically but I couldn't enjoy it.

for me will be depending on the type of food.. which is expired

dairy products like milk, i will always give it a SIP before i drink a whole cup
junk food... well can't be bothered~! as long it taste okay to me
can food... as long it still vacumn sealed... i will go for it.. otherwise... will try a little

 

[agentgamma]

No

 

[Slimmmmmm]

Wouldn't eat foooooosty food for any less than a tenner

 

[Goshogun1]

No. I am very picky on what I eat. My sense of taste must be hyper sensitive, because I can taste things even being a little off. That goes for stuff that still has a proper exp. date. You would be surprised how much stuff sits on the shelves that isn't still good, as the expiration labels say.

 

[xalphax]

i just got a perfectly fine meal for free because it was expired.

sometimes this pays off.

 

[Osaka]

sometimes we dont have much food and there isnt a choice =o=;

 

[Sstew]

Eww never. Im weird about that type of stuff, I usually dont drink milk that is 1-2 days before expiration date.

 

[Jran Sakarra]

I drank a Mountain Dew Halo 3 drink that was 7 about 5-7 months past expired date.
Depends on what it is and how long gone.
The more salt it has the longer ot will last

 

[amptor]

expired milk sometimes, it has a weird taste though

 

[Masta_mind257]

I only end up eating food which expires on the day, the worst i've eat is a packet of crisps (potato chips) that's been open for a day. DAIM THAT WAS NASTY, it was too soft.

 

[Cablephish]

It depends what foods.

Sometimes it says best before. If it says that, if it's a couple days old, doesn't really matter.
