    When I was bought up there was no such things as sell by or best before dates.

    You just judged by sight or smell.

    I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.

    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    Nether of which matter so much to food safety :D the first is nothing to do with us, just for the shop. Best before is usually on cakes and biscuits which just go stale. Use by is very very different. :D

    Eat them and then post a message 6hrs later on here if you're still alive so we all know whether it's safe to eat out of date quiche or not....


    Jesting, I would eat them. However I would quickly bin the box with the date on cos my DD is obsessed with not eating things that are 1 day out of date

    Not so different. 'Use by' dates have huge safety margins built into them.
