I ate a yoghurt yesterday that was a day past its sell-by date.
And we all know where that leads to.....

The secret is not to look at the date tommo!! A |

I caused my children to exist. Which is effectively giving them a death sentence. Sorry about that, kids, but it wasn't me that designed the system  |

I often have yougurt that is pass due date. It is not dangerous at all. A few days off does not matter really.
You did not live in Russia, Tommo. With your logic they all would be dead.
As for children, it is great to have a chance to exists. So many people did not happen. It was a lucky draw that I came to life.
Children will understand it too.

I don't understand why yoghurts have best-before dates. Aren't they already meant to be made from milk that's gone off? So many people did not happen. Can you give some examples, t-p?  |

This has occurred to me too. However, whatever befalls them in life at least they've had an opportunity to be part of this weird adventure that we're all experiencing. Better than nothing? Better to have loved and lost.....better to have experienced something, anything......?  |

best-before dates. In the States, they are called 'expiry dates'. Says it all.  |

I've often wondered the same question about blue cheeses. What is the appeal of a cheese that has already gone mouldy? |

I think you are right, Milly  . Msg 17 possibly came out gloomier than intended. I wonder if we each have a 'best before' date stamped somewhere? Never found mine despite careful searching. |

Rice. Innocuous stuff, right? Leave a bowl of leftover rice uncovered for a couple of days and it's not going to 'go off' - it's not a hunk of red meat, after all, right? Wrong! Apparently you get a VERY nasty experience with gone-off rice. Just thought I'd mention that.

Ian - well, there's good mould and bad mould... Quite often the good mould in my fridge gets an attack of the bad mould - there's a definite difference in the furriness factor, smell, taste, effect on the digestive system etc...
I have a container of goat's cheese in the fridge at the moment which, although 3 months past sell-by-date, has no mould on it. The container does look a bit bloated though.
I'm keeping it in the interest of science, you understand...
Brie does dreadful things when it is even only just out of date - smells of nappies...
And as for camembert - once I met one glowing and crawling across the kitchen floor in the middle of the night. I swear it made a threatening noise too...
Another warning - apparently the major cause of digestive problems is the use of black pepper; some careless/unscrupulous traders allow rat droppings to bulk out their black peppercorn packs. Who here examines every corn before grinding?
