Out-of-Date B&B Pudding.

My very favourite pudding. I never have enough bread to make it myself, so I buy the one from Asda ….best ever ?

I love bread & butter pudding. Just make in with milk, eggs, sugar, bread and some currants. I usually make it about 2 hours before cooking, and the bread absorbs all the milk and eggs and swells up. Then have some lovely brown crusty bits on top of the soft, curranty bit. Sometimes put some orange marmalade on the bread too. Everything in this house gets eaten unless it is mouldy or really gross ? Veg and fruit go into smoothies and soups. Bread goes into bread pudding or bread and butter pudding.

I recently ate with no ill affects, three out of date natural yoghurts lurking at the back of the fridge behind some jars. (Don’t ask!) The use by date was last September 2021 but given they looked & smelled ok & the lids hadn’t blown I tried the tip of a spoonful & then scoffed them 3 nights in a row after supper.
I’m still alive. Hooray!

I've just made cakes with out of date eggs and over ripe bananas.
So far, so good.
I wouldn't have poached the eggs but they didn't float and were well baked.

A relative told me off because the rice in my cupboard was a few months out of date! I have some salt in the cupboard which is out of date by 1 year! As it was formed a few million years ago, I don't think it is going to make much difference.
?

The honey found in Egyptian tombs was fine but couldn't be sold because it didn't have a use-by date!

There was an article in the Daily Telegraph today about how foods past their 'best before' dates are entirely usable, even when they are several years after their 'best before' date.

There are companes who buy food that is past its 'best before' dates and then sell it on, both safely and legally to consumers.

I am like silverlining, everything gets eaten. menus get replanned, food is frozen, raw, part processed or ready to eat. If I have food waste to recycle, it is bacon rinds, fish skins or chop bones.

Prices were quoted as low as 1p for a jar of Heinz mustard and 9p for a jar of Waitrose cook-in sauce. with 'best before' dates of 2019 and 2020.

Best before' is very different to 'use by' dates and it is illegal to sell those.

I would give a link, but the DT hides behind a paywall

Calendargirl the pudding can't have been out of date, you only made it yesterday!

I might make a lemon layer pudding tomorrow with some rather old lemons.

I opened and used some of a bottle of cream with a use by date of 2 weeks past. It was fine. Went to look for it later and OH told me he had thrown it out because it was past it's use by date. Perhaps he is more delicate than I am.

I thought this was going to be about a complaint about a pudding you had had at a Bed and Breakfast place. Bit dim this morning
