A packet of Black Farmer pork chipolatas, 4 days past their use by date. They smell fine. Look fine. Been in fridge since Ocado delivered.

To eat or not to eat?

But I have had food poisoning, twice in fact, so I'm very, very careful. So no, I wouldn't eat them, but I know DH would eat them and I also know he wouldn't get ill. He has a stronger stomach than I do.

Incidentally both times I was poisoned fish was the culprit. Salmon to be exact.

This reminds me of the Fawlty Towers episode with the sausages, vomiting cat and the food inspector!
GreenGran; Hilarious as ever; I remember "veal substitute" was involved! grin

Same here, GG. No ill effects. As for the sausages, I'd cook em to death then eat em.

If they also taste fine, then go for it girl! shock, but prepare a little note to leave in the frig as a back-stop to warn nervous souls like myself in case things go wrong! grin
