Infuriatingly if you google this question it comes up with this exact question on Q & A on Lyle's site, but guess what the site has changed and I couldn't find the answer!!

It seems that the consensus is to use it so I'll add this to the thread on "dates"

i certainly wouldn't eat the stew and i really wouldn't chance the chicken unless i was desperate.... bin the stew and have a sniff of the chuck!

Personally I wouldn't eat either after that period of time...even if they have been refrigerated! I wouldn't even feed it to the dogs!:rotfl:

The chicken should still be ok if you're going to eat it tonight, but I'd bin the stew.

I wouldn't eat either the stew or the chicken.

I accept no responsibility for your health if you try this, but I'd have a good sniff of the stew and if it smelled ok, I'd heat it to nuclear temperature and taste a bit. If it was ok, I'd eat it. I have an iron consitution.

Same goes for the chicken.
