Mate, I'm bored with this now and I'm all mayo'd out. I'm just not prepared to yet again go through what is, at the end of the day, _really simple to understand stuff_, sorry.
Look, don't refrigerate your mayo. Or ketchup. Or anything. Don't listen to the manufacturers. Stick the lot out your front door for the crows for all I care; marvel at the ensuing explosion of fauna. Your Great Condiments Storage Instructions Rebellion holds no further interest to me. I'm done here.

Hardcore Condiments Debate Thread needed?

Mate, I'm so in pole position here: including my garage fridge I have *three*. Beat that.

Its 19.30, you must have better things to do,

2 fridge freezers, one in the garage. One chest freezer.

Also, surely salt has no expiry date as well as honey?

It's one of the two food groups that matter, the other being fat.

4) Actually manage to eat stuff before it reaches its best before date.

I'll go for option 4. It's not that hard.

We bought a load of them as Hearthly Jnr was well into them for her desserts, then she changed her mind, so we've ended up with excess stock in the fridge.

I see no reason to chuck them away when there's nothing wrong with them, and I'm quite partial to chocolate treats.

Why do you guys have so much fridge and freezer space? We gave a small in-built fridge that looks like a kitchen cupboard, which has a small ice box built in, and then a miniature chest freezer, which is mostly full of homemade baby food portions that I have frozen down.

Can't you test eggs by seeing if they float? Or is that a myth?

We don't buy any meat or fish from the supermarket, I get it in batches from either the local butcher or a couple of online places.

Then we freeze it all and get it out when we need it.

I get meat here https://www.farmison.com/ (they have a good offer on chicken breasts this week)

To be fair, I think he's still fighting off the proto-humanoid giant brain-sucking bacteria in his kitchen, as evolved from that best before March 1999 jar of unrefrigerated Doritos Dipping Sauce in his cupboard. The scene is rather like Star Trek III: The Search for Spock when they find the casket and super accelerated evolving bugs. But without the exploding planet and earthquakey stuff, obviously.

I have a question. What happens if you’re eating something at 5 minutes to midnight on the day that the best before date is up. Then, you’re still eating it as the clock approaches midnight. Would you stop eating at 11:59 and 59 seconds and throw the rest away?

Why do you guys have so much fridge and freezer space? We gave a small in-built fridge that looks like a kitchen cupboard, which has a small ice box built in, and then a miniature chest freezer, which is mostly full of homemade baby food portions that I have frozen down. If desserts are going out of date by a week then I would think I had bought too many to eat in the time before they go off. I don't think anything in our fridge ever reaches the use by date. Maybe an egg from a box of six eggs where we can't get through the smallest number in a box, I guess. Anyway, I'd not eat that dessert thing.assumjng it has dairy in it, I just don't think it'd be worth my risk of feeling ill just to eat it for the sake of it.

I would eat it Hearthly, no problem and I totally understand where you are with buying things for your kids. Mine will love stuff one day, then decide they don't like them the next. Normally right after we've been shopping.

Though I guess I would have just eaten them as soon as he went off them. We had an extra petit Filous that wasn't going to get eaten before the date ran out, so I either had to give our boy two in a day, or eat one, so I helped out by eating one, because I am a great mum.

Unless we go away somewhere I don't really have best before date issues. We don't eat any processed food so the main things I have to watch for are milk and yogurts. They are always consumed by my wife and son in good time Get fruit and veg going off now and again, that goes into my compost bins.

I'd eat the Cadbury's thing. And Mimi mentioning eggs reminds me of another way in which I ignore all the rules: will happily eat eggs ~1 month past their use by date. Still not dead. (Do you keep your eggs at room temp or in the fridge?)
