Just made risotto for my work lunches using rice dated May 2013.
Noticed last night that bottle of lea & perrins is Dec 2010 but tastes fine. Have another unopened bottle with same date!0 -
Not as ancient as the BBQ sauce I posted earlier in the thread but, yesterday, we used the Cranberry Sauce which has been open in the fridge since Xmas (it says once opened use within 28 days) and when I opened it at Xmas it was already way past it's sell by date of 2012!

On Sunday (23 March) my OH had natural yoghurt with a use by date of some time in December 2013. He added lemon curd and sultanas (both in advance of their BBE date) and said it was good.0
