Out of date mix

My_Feet_Hurt

Hi all,

Beef casserole in the slow cooker *os moneysaving* go me!

BUT I have a dumpling mix (bought because it was cheap a long time ago, and want to use it up) that is dated March 2013...should I use it?

Many, many years ago, my mum made dumplings and the suet was out of date/had gone off, and the taste of them stopped me eating them for about 30 years - no lie.

So, should I/could I?

Thanks

Open it, smell it, use it, nothing in there that can kill you, i've gone 2/3 years and still used them before xx

Definitely use it.

I'm guessing it's one of those sachets of mix all sealed up. For things like that it's a 'best before' rather than a 'use by' where you need to be a bit more careful. Enjoy!!

I think it depends on the temperature it's been kept at - but you'll be able to smell if it's turned rancid.

It will be fine, I have used suet that was over a year old before now. The only things that I don't like when they are too far out of date are pasta and egg noodles, they don't cook up too well
