Melton Mowbray, Sell by 29 March...been in fridge at all times, would you risk it today?
It cost me a whole 30p.
Do it. You spent time earning that 30p, don't let it go to waste. And pies were made to protect the meat.
Get it down.
Slather it in Coleman's English and it'll be reet.
Cover it in mustard first!
Failing that stick it in the post and I'll eat it on Tuesday 😆
Hmmmm...*checks list"...you lot are all haterz, no?
Is it green and furry?
If yes, then remove green furry stuff and eat
If no, then rub tummy in a comedic, clockwise, motion and eat.
i assume you mean 29th march 2011.
2010 is a maybe, 2009 i would probably give it to the dog.
'use by' is just a lie supported by the government to promote food sales.
bit of horseradish on the sides, lovely . . .
Al you have already realised you are special, I cannot see you coming to any harm no matter what you eat. 😆
Drop it on a pint glass and see what breaks.
Even if its in date a 30p pork pie is going to be pretty carp
Sell by 29 March
No, you can eat that. That's the 'sell by' date. See how that works? 😉

Unless it is very, very small.
I assume it's eaten by now.
Or you are a pussy.
Having been a pork pie maker n coniseur,that date is totaly irelevent as the pork is cured n cooked then will take a least a week past sell by date to be the least bit dodgy.
EAT IT >Bring on the BRANSTON n GUINNESS.
Sorry it was "use by"...and it was a mini one, half price.
Going for it shortly!
There's probably that much fat and salt in it, it'll outlive you if you don't eat it
Fill yer boots.
they never had fridges, cellophane or use by dates when they invented pork pies.
Eat it!
Traditionally, pork pie was made with pickled meat ( generally bits of pig's face ) so that it would keep.
Modern stuff no doubt has to be kept refrigerated otherwise all our children will die.
Bit like jam that has keep refrigerated on the label. It's preserve FFS.

funny that went up to Scotland 2nd jan with the dog who will eat allmost anything bought him a Melton mobray pie in the services , He just turned his nose up at it . Found it last weekend under the seat it still had not gone mouldy Dog still not interested.
29th March?
Meh. Only 3 days ago.
"Sell by" is different to "Use by", so a few days is irrelevant if it's been stored correctly.
I never pay much attention to "Use by"/"Sell by"/"Best before" dates - they're all set by paranoid hypochondriacs anyway.
If it looks and smells ok, it probably is ok.

We had this specially made for a mate's 30th.
Well if it goes wrong it will be interesting as I'm following it with Cauli and cheese soup.
Good grief 😯 The flatulence will run a power station.
It will be fine - the jelly is there to keep the meat fresh 🙂
so have you eaten it yet???
It'll be reet! Get it down ya neck!
There's that much salt in them it's practically preserved anyway.
