Or will I die before my time?

Eat it.

Wash it down with Irn Bru just to be on the safe side.

I say go for it!

I’m like Errol Flynn when it comes to expiry dates. 😉

Be fine once deep fried

does it say best before or use by?

either way I can confidently suggest you give it a go and hope to hear about any consequent ‘issues’ you might have.

Go fot it, then follow it up with a picolax stylee thread

OK – I’m of to the cowp* now. If there are no dire warnings of renal failure by the time I get back, I’ll go for it. Raw. No deep-frying will be necessary.

Mars Bar – expiry date 19/11/05. Worth a huge painful poo and visit to the GP?

Yes, i would say so. Even if just to give everyone on here a jolly good laugh!

+1 for another picolax style thread

Grrrr… Cowp was shut.

Anyway, just had a couple of mouthfuls washed down with Old Jamaica Ginger Beer (Irn Bru is the Devil’s piss). No ill-effects just yet.

Last week I made some custard out of powder with a best before date of 1998. I (literally) had to break the rusted seal to get into the tin.

I don’t eat custard much 🙂

(I threw the remainder away)

Most eat-by dates are conservative.

Tastes a wee bit funny, kinda stale, but not too bad.

Found it at the bottom of an old rucksack when I was clearing out the hall cupboard. There was also a bumper bar of Fruit and Nut of the same vintage but it had been opened and the chocolate was discoloured; it went to the cowp (well, it would have done had it not closed early).

Most Conservatives are best before 1979.

Get thee to North Pole,might be a coupla old expedition ration tins left off-of Capt. Scott’s venture (sad salute).Glad ‘yer alright,I never bother about expired “Best Before” dates and am still kicking…!

had you found it in a bothy or something you would have scoffed it without a thought 😀

You may well still be kicking but your knowledge of polar history is pretty shoddy.

Nothing left, all the Penguins got there first.

Still alive…

Hmmm – I’d suggest that even Capt Scott and a bunch of penguins couldnt have got so lost that he ended up at the North Pole.

No dickie tummy or bad breath?

other half says “nothing natural in them should be fine”

I say batter it and deep fry it 😀

I suspect the fats will have gone rancid and it’ll taste properly unpleasant.

Report back once you’ve scoffed it.
