Yum! I had a gingerbread latte earlier. Got a bottle of syrup in Starbucks after christmas. Think it was 1/2 price and I've still not finished it. Whittards now do gingerbread syrup I've noticed. £3.50 a bottle.

Fantastic site - just spent a few pound on that to trial it! I do not believe in use by dates - I believe in common sense!!

Looks pretty good - trying to work out where the delivery weight thresholds are! Don't really want to pay £9.90 for delivery!

It is perfectly legal to sell food that is past it's best before date because it is still edible, it's just that the item won't be quite as fresh. The only things that need to be consumed before the date on the packet is anything with a "Use by.." or "Sell by...".

This is actually a good money saving tip, don't be too quick in throwing out that food that has gone past it's "Best Before"...keep it and it should still be fine for weeks, sometimes even months past that date. All you need to do then is to taste a bit, sniff it, have a sensible look at it and make a judgment call at the time as to whether you think it is still fine to eat...9 times out of 10 it will be.

We had some chick peas that were tinned last week and the date on the tin was best before 2005 - tasted fine!

BH1 isn't listed so i'm guessing you're national rate 2, HTH

A latte is just expresso coffee with loads of hot milk added. Then you just add he relevant flavoured syrup.
