Use by date?

Argh, really annoyed with myself - have a pack of unopened frankfurter style sausages in the fridge which I thought had ages on their date still - now I look and it seems they have a use by of end of Oct. My own fault for not checking but I assumed as they were vacuum sealed, they'd be good for a while.

Would anyone brave them or just chuck them and resolve to check dates more closely in future? Haven't really got time for food poisoning before xmas :eek:

If they are vacuum packed then air cannot get to them, plus you kept them in a cold place, so I would open them and sniff them. If they don't smell off and haven't got a green furry coat they should be ok. Just make sure they are heated through properly.

Oh please don't, he would be your friend for life - you'd never get rid of him!

I think you should be ok because it's only a few weeks, and your eyes and nose will tell you if they're ok or not.

Back to Ennessdee Towers to see how the tech rehearsal is going.
