    Germany too. My missus worked in a couple and saw them doing it which is why we never buy meat in a supermarket now. I know a person who runs a burger/wurst/etc. stand at fairs and I've seen them in the supermarket buying all the old sold by date meat, yeeeuch!
    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

      A quick update

      I survived the night!

      I'm right as rain and am feeling virtuous that I didn't waste the meal.

      (The fact that it cost over £3.50 as well meant that I didn't waste my money - the main reason for this experiment... )

        Risking £x00s in billable time to save £3.50 seems a bit of a risky strategy to me. May I also say that allowing yourself to get into this situation shows a distinct lack of planning on your side. I think you need to look at the processes you have in place at the alternate chez cojak to prevent future occurences.

          Is there a smilie for sarcasm? My comment got taken literally.

          I get fed up when things get thrown away because they have exceed this or that date. Just smell the damn thing! I have only ever suffered food poisoning when I have eat out, not as a result of stuff eaten at home.

            Ask yourself the following question, "what would Jesus do?".

              Feed it to the poor and see if they suffered first?

                It didn't smell funny and I'm still here!

                As for processes - I must remember to look in the fridge before I leave on a Friday morning...

                  I was terrible for wasting bread. I'd buy a new loaf every Tuesday, might have 2 or 4 slices then forget about it till the following Tuesday and have to throw it out.
                  Now I freeze it and toast as required
