    Sniff and look - if ok, eat. If rotten and mouldy and stinky - dont eat!!

    I'd chuck it as well - anything meat based I tend to stick to the use by date. And you're a week past that now.

    Isn't this the whole purpose of a fritatta?

    I'd eat it - sounds yummy!

    Hi folks,
    Found a packet of yorkie batter, bbe Oct 08, for some reason it escaped my stock rotation radar....I am planning to use it but anyone got any reasons why I shouldn't ?
    It only cost about 50p but still!
    Thanks

    It's a packet of mix that you add water and egg to make yorkshire puds (Basically flour and pepper!)
