Over date food

depends
if it's "use by" then i'll only eat / drink it a few days after the expiry date
if it's "best before" i say it's good for a few more years lol

i once made custard with custard powder that was 17 years out of date.

didn't realise until after, took one mouthful and it tasted like bumholes.

17 years? whattttt hahahah

i just do the sniff test tbf and look and make sure there aint no mold or anything. unless it's milk then i don't av it past it's date because i can't smell whether it's off or not as milk smells horrible to me anyway

I don't sniff my food or anything. It never usually happens to me but when I do notice that something's past the due date I just chuck it simply because it doesn't happen to often.

I don't sniff my food either I am 13 so like my parents would probally notice if the food in my house is overdate. But i would normally eat things that are overdate by a few days. I once made pancakes with milk that was 1 day overdate but it tasted normal I did the sniff test aswell.

But yeah, dairy products I smell before I use them anyway (regardless of the expiry date) and all the rest.. well.. I never check the date tbh cos I don't eat many odd snacks like that :P

Agreed, i think there is a limit though to how long it is out of date before you bin it straight away :P
