Smoked Salmon 3 days beyond 2use By" date ...?

[PRC1964]

Just eat it. It'll be fine*.

* probably

Probably absolutely fine if it's been stored in a working fridge without raw meat dripping on it. Use by dates are set with a pretty sizable safety margin and smoking is afterall a preservative as you said.

Have the stomach pump on standby though

2 days past use by date is nothing for me, as long as it doesn't smell fishy...

[TimberWolf]

I once tried eating some rump steak that had gone a bit bad in the fridge. It seemed a shame to waste it, so I ignored the smell by date and hoped cooking would reduce its rankness.Nope, it seemed to get stronger and stunk out the kitchen. The juices were particularly rank. I tried cutting off the edges and scraping it, but it tasted rancid all the way through. I had to chuck out the rubbish too. Never made me ill though.

If in doubt, chop it up, put it in a bit of single cream and a pinch of pepper and simmer it for a few minutes for a lovely de-bacteria'd pasta sauce.

Poison, or OK to eat?

Surely if it's 'smoked' it's preserved ?

I thought poisoning was a woman's method of murdering her partner. Real men use an axe and then wrap her in carpet and dump her in the woods. Failing that, a vat of battery acid might do the trick.

Monty Python; "As the people at the final dinner party follow Death out of the house, Michael Palin's character says "Hey, I didn't eat the mousse" (referring to the salmon mousse that ostensibly killed them all). This moment is one of the very few junctures in the Monty Python series in which a line of dialogue was actually improvised." Wiki
