I suspect they'll not be a health hazard However, as they age, pulses become more and more difficult to cook, so I'd be concerned about using energy to cook them, and then never managing to get them soft.

Are these regular dried peas? They're readily available round here

I'll add this to the exisiting thread on "Dates" later to keep ideas together.

They're parched peas, darker in colour than normal ones, and have sold out here due to it being a tradition to eat them at Halloween and Bonfire night:D:D

bought a packet of popcorn (the type you put in the microwave) from alberts supermarket in praque ,found them yesterday in the bottom of the cupboard and the only english i can understand is the sell by date of 2008,im going to open them in 2012 and see how they taste:D

i recon they must be safe to eat they are dried. i dont think ood veg has ever killed anyone, meat and dairy id be more careful. but id risk the peas lol

Hi folks. I've got a pheasant in the freezer that we got given early spring (ish) this year. Would it still be ok to eat? and if so could I put it in the slow cooker?

Yes, sure -if its been frozen since you got it.

just make sure it is fully defrosted before cooking it as a slow cooker maintains a low temperature and may not in itself defrost- as well as cook the bird.

Well we ate the 2005 parched peas, and are fine, and the were delicious:p:p

Bought a turkey drumstick from Tesco yesterday and left it in a bag in my car for around two hours by mistake.
It still felt cold and I put it straight into the fridge, but will it be OK to cook tomorrow? Don't want to make anyone ill!

Two hours in the car in November? It should be absolutely fine. Hell, I'd cook it if it had been in the car for two hours in August

Thanks. I'm thinking it will probably be OK - just wanted some reassurance really
