I've just eaten half a large tub of bio strawberry yog with BB of 3rd Feb. It smelt and tasted fine so I ate it all - it was bought for DS who gave up o it and it's been languishing in the fridge till now.

Can't be doing with waste - I have a friend who throws tinned tomatoes away if they are a onth past their BBE date I have tried to explain the principles of canning to her, but she won't be swayed.

Errrmmm... this is a bit different from the other suggestions, but you can wash in yogurt. It's meant to be really good for your skin, so maybe a face pack then you don't have to worry if its a bit past its best.

I assumed it's a natural yogurt, of course, not sure if you can wash in Strawberry flavour....

I'd 'dispose' of them for her!

With natural yoghurt - if it's not growing mould or smelling off, I would use it!

If is acidic then I make Yoghurt Kadhi - recipe here:

or use to make chicken curry or biryani (will have to type out these recipes so if anyone wants them let me know)

Can also use to make quick okra curry:

Chop 1 onion, slice/crush 2-4 cloves garlic and add to about 2/3 table spoons hot veg oil, along with 1 chopped tomato, 1 tsp salt, 1/2-1 tsp red chilli powder (depending on how hot it is and how hot you like it!), 1/2 tsp turmeric, 1 heaped tsp ground coriander, 1 heaped tsp ground cumin and 1 packet of sliced frozen ladies fingers(okra/bhindi) (available in Tesco/Asda and asian supermarkets, can use fresh but I find the frozen packs cheaper and more convenient - saves washing, drying, topping and tailing too). Mix well and cook on low heat, stirring frequently until oil starts to separate out. Add a couple of tablespoons of yoghurt - enough to give a creamy sauce and heat through gently. Scatter handful of chopped fresh green coriander leaves and serve with naan, pitta, or chappatis. Alternatively add juice of 1 lemon instead of yoghurt.
