    Sorry to barge in on a bash-up-BB's-Bloke (I think he deserves it BTW) but I've been cleaning out my fridge (Bluddy ChoreWars, I keep having to DO things) and I have a couple of items that look Ok
    : Pot of double cream (ate the strawberries without) 28/06/08 (yes JUNE)
    Large pot of yoghurt (was going to stop using so much cream in my cooking) partially used 30/07/08
    1 pitta 01/08/08
    Half a Camembert November 2007

    Will they be safe to use if they look and smell OK?

    I've discovered a really lush yoghurt in Lidl. It's a litre bucket size and it's called Yogosan and the flavour is Stracciatella. It's a creamy base (not sharp like natural yoghurt) with loads of chocolate flakey bits swirled in . It is absolutely lovely! It's more like a creamy melted icecream taste than youghurt.

    Takes lid of bucket to finish it off.............:EasterBun

    I've been eating that stuff for *years*...

    Save the buckets, they come in handy. I once had 20 of them filled with HM chicken soup...

    Dump the yoghurt, unless it's live/bio.

    Why?

    I thought if I stirred it into vegetable curry it would be OK?

    (do I need to go and check on the OS board?)
