no ideas but wondering what you bought it for - has it other uses that culturing microbiological samples

I bought them with the idea of making jellies,as I don't eat jelly made with traditional gelatine (I'm a vegetarian).

I think I might just bin them.It would be too annoying to make a jelly that didn't set.I bought some sachets today.I might just manage to use them this time:o,got until August 2012!

A bought some Bramley apple tarts from Tesco on the 7th from the reduced isle. In the meantime I forgot all about them and have just found them at the back of the fridge 4 days out of date.

They were reduced from £3.50 to 40p so it won't be a too much of a wrench to through them out!

They don't smell and look ok to me, should I eat them?

Do you mean they DO look ok and smell ok? If so then I would eat them. Well maybe not all four, oh go on then I'll have three!

They've probably got so much sugar in they'd keep for a year!

Cut one open and make sure there's no mould on the fruit filling.

What on earth sort are they for £3.50? Or was it a box of two dozen or something?

There are 2 smallish tarts - they were the finest restaurant collection. They do look good but would only get them when reduced.

Well they are in the oven (fingers crossed they taste ok)

Ah, if you are heating them up, as long as they are properly hot through, and they didn't smell or look funny/mouldy, you will probably live.

I would eat them if they look and smell ok, good idea to heat them very hot to kill any germs..
