Hi there
it should be fine... meat quite often goes dark when under the lights of the cabinets in the supermarkets anyway...and well hung meat is dark anyway... so i would use it -no problem...-6 -8 -3 -1.5 -2.5 -3 -1.5-3.50 -
I would smell it first, if it smells o.k then certainly eat it. it's in date and I think the going brown bit is quite natural. I have certainly had steak go a bit brown and it has always been fine.
I think where meat is concerned you can trust your nose.Away with the fairies.... Back soon0 -
yep.. the browning is perfectly normal as the blood drains from the meat... absolutely fine.. enjoy!
