  • houmous - a large tub. It won't all be eaten within the two days of opening and 'do not freeze' is printed on the packaging. Is it harmful or inedible if frozen? Has anyone kept it, opened, for much longer than two days?

    Freeze it and give it a good stir when you defrost :)

    i've got a ham on bone joint that was meant to be used yesterday
    i've sliced the meat off and it looks/smells ok is it still ok to eat today/tommorrow or should i throw it? thanks

    Don't throw it. It should be fine to eat today or tomorrow if it's been kept properly refrigerated. The other option is to freeze the meat in small chunks/portions, and use in lentil soup, in cheese & pasta sauce, in a savoury macaroni cheese with mixed vegs such as mushrooms, onions, peppers, or put into a pastry case for a cheese & ham quiche, or use in cheese and ham jacket potatoes.

    I wouldn't eat it. I ate 4 days out of date roasted red pepper houmous once and it was the foulest most bitter taste ever! Took me months before I could face eating houmous again.

    Personally I would open it and check, expecting to find it edible, as it is unopened.

    Or you could give it away https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2957962 :rotfl::rotfl:
