Question: Would you eat pate that is one week (use by) out of date?

CAUTION: DO NOT mansplain the difference between use by and best before or I will be forced to severely downvote you.

DO NOT mansplain

I'll bite.

Best before was when I was in my 20's.

Used by was probably before that.

edit: I deserved that.

Still sealed from the shops, yep. Open a week or homemade and it's a dog treat.

[โ€“] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It was unopened

[โ€“] dumblederp@aussie.zone 5 points 8 months ago

No hesitation.

[โ€“] StudChud@aussie.zone 7 points 8 months ago

Um, ackshually it isn't mansplaining if I don't identify as a man. Ah ha!

Nah all jokes aside, If it's unopened, go at it! Pate was made so it would last longer than it's ingredients by themselves.

If it's opened then forgeddabowtit

Yes. If I trusted the purchase point to store it correctly before purchase. I know my fridge keeps it's cool properly, but swoopermarkets are another thing again. The whole point of pate is to put a highly perishable food into a format that does keep a bit longer. Refer liverwurst. And potted shrimp. And tarasamalata (I think I've spelled that understandably, if not correctly).

tarasamalata

That's the first I've ever heard of it seem that word I think. The food itself looks way up my alley ๐Ÿ˜

[โ€“] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 points 8 months ago

Aldi make a nice one. The smoked one is shit but the plain one is good. A good deli also make it.

[โ€“] TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 2 points 8 months ago

Yummy. The Aldi one is good, the Piedmonte's one is fantabulous.

[โ€“] Duenan@aussie.zone 5 points 8 months ago

Not sure. Maybe one or two days at the most as long as texture, taste and smell was ok.

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 points 8 months ago

Pate? No.

[โ€“] melbaboutown@aussie.zone 4 points 8 months ago

I probably wouldnโ€™t.
