as far as sell by dates...

I once used half&half in my tea that was a month and a half past the sell by date, it tasted funny but hey, better then tea without cream.

Are you out of your mind??????

Bacon expeiration will be based on the earliest it might go rancid, not bacterial comtamination. Almost no bacteria will grow in bacon except Staphylococcus Aurae, which tolerate high slat levels. Racid (oxidized fat) is not a real health concern, its just disgusting. If bacon has started to go racid, you would have no doubt about the smell. It usually triggers a strong gag response.

Stewart, aren't these one-liners taking precious time out of your busy schedule of not getting laid and having no friends? Perhaps you should run along now and drink yourself unconscious, a state most people prefer you in.

Look who's talking.

Yeap yeap, you can eat stuff usually a bit after the "best before" -dates, but if it's meat and has been extra one month in the refrigerator...

Dude

I agree with this guy.

The difference being that when I'm unconcious the quality of conversation usually drops. With Stew, the inverse is true.

Someone's cage has been rattled.

You best go check the use by dates on your nail varnishes.

Ecthy · December 28, 2003, 15:00

you guys

Ramo, dive in that bin and eat it

Starchild · December 28, 2003, 15:01

In case you haven't noticed Stewart, I do seriously dislike you. While I usually let your homophobic ****wittery fly by, I'm not in the mood for it today. I sincerily hope something very very heavy hits you about the head repeatedly.

Ecthy · December 28, 2003, 15:01

that is the bacon, not the bin, and tea is not tea when it's contaminated with cream

Ecthy · December 28, 2003, 15:02

Starchild, it wasn't a seriously homophobic comment. Us normal people on the continent say things like that all the time, without necessarily being homophobic...

Does it make me homophobic to say "that's for faggots"? I know strictly it does, but with common sense?

Aww, don't get angry because of someone like PA...

Remember the possibility to use /ignore

Starchild · December 28, 2003, 15:07

With common sense it still makes it a homophobic comment. Jesus, its a person known for his anti-gay views making a dismissive comment toward an entire group using a known inflammatory derogatory word. You wonder why I'm pissed off?

I know, its drinkable.

Ecthy · December 28, 2003, 15:11

I know, that makes perfect sense in this case.

But would you be pissed off the same if I said it? Or PH? Or Ming?

Solly · December 28, 2003, 15:17

I can see the wrists flailing about from here.

Ecthy · December 28, 2003, 15:18

what happened to your Delis Powys sig?

Solly · December 28, 2003, 15:21

"what happened to your Delis Powys sig?"

Do you want it back?

Starchild · December 28, 2003, 15:22

Ja, I would. Except with those people, it would be a one time slip that they'd apologise for and try not to do again. With Stewart, it's a constant thing. Most of the time, his homophobic trolls slip beneath the radar cause I just can't be arsed to deal with him.

I mean, oh my god people, this forum has examples of some really insidious forms of discrimination. Take the ****ing "homo-gay" insult flying around. I can't even begin to tell you how much that pisses me off. There's not even any need for it considering how versatile the English language is with swearing. No one bats an eyelid when someone says "that's homo-gay". Can you imagine the uproar of someone went around saying "That's only fit for the niggers"? It's the exact same thing. You're placing yourself above an entire group and looking down upon them in the most insulting way possible.

Ecthy · December 28, 2003, 15:22

Dyfed Powis or so... and I don't mind personally, just wondering...

Ecthy · December 28, 2003, 15:23

I can see your point, Starchild. That kind of language is for Welsh uni students

VJ · December 28, 2003, 15:29

That's exactly what ignore is for, isn't it? Blocking the certain people's messages to avoid seeing the language which offends you.

Ming · December 28, 2003, 15:43

If Stewie keeps it up... you won't need the ignore feature to avoid his posts for a while

Solly · December 28, 2003, 15:57

Repeating Che's words of wisdom, "If in doubt, toss it." A few bucks lost in the trash is a lot better than getting sick and dieing.

Generally it's safe to eat things a while after the SELL BY date because that's only the latest date a store is allowed to sell it. Now, if it says BEST BY or USE BY, go ahead and trash it that day (or maybe the day later. A day probably won't hurt, but four weeks most likely will.)

Also use your common sense. If it smells any way that it's not supposed to smell, then, throw it away. If it's changed colors on any part, throw it away. If only touching it gives you Superman-like powers, quick, throw it away before it can mutate you back into your normal old boring self.

Wash your hands when you're preparing food. If it's to be cooked, do so completely. "An ounce of preparation is worth a pound of cure."

Solly · December 28, 2003, 17:10

What bollocks..it's because we're too cautious with cleanliness and what we eat that disease like asthma are increasing rapidly.

Of course, if it's furry then lob it away, but you can always pinch any mould off bread and eat the remainder.

Ecthy · December 28, 2003, 17:12

not of bread, Bodd, because its roots grow deep, and not of cheese either... now, of marmelaide...

VJ · December 28, 2003, 17:16

Famous last words.
You don't usually read the ingredients of the food you eat, do you? Your theories would've worked wonderfully... in the early 19th century. And while I agree that paranoid cleaning and paranoid food hygienia have certain links and share same users, eating fresh food does NOT cause asthma.

mrmitchell · December 28, 2003, 17:34

Washing your hands when you're cooking is not "paranoid," it's just ****ing common sense, and washing your hands when you cook is NOT the cause of asthma (rather, probably the prevention of poisoning...or a firing, in case your manager at McDonald's catches you cooking with the same disregard for hygeine, PA.)
