    Yep I'd eat them. My custard powder says best before Feb 2010 and I still use it (obviously not very often, hence why it's 4 years out of date)

    I found a Christmas pudding with an expiry date of April 2008 yesterday. I'll be eating it next Saturday :-)

    Best Before dates just tell you that the quality might not be 100% after that date. It doesn't mean the food is off.

    Yes eat them. Although how anybody can have cashew nuts uneaten amazes me, Wouldn't last 24 hours in this house.
  • Yes I would eat no problem but how did they last so long uneaten??

    Without hesitation. Not even to check the BB date.

    I would taste them first. Nuts tend to go rancid, but if they taste okay, eat them!
