Probably won't be able to eat for days well maybe soup as my bridge fell of the implants, eating a nut. I can see lots of ££££££ signs before my eyes
I have done several Food Hygiene courses, but well over 20 years ago when we had the hotel and restaurant. I remember little about them, except the order of stacking items in a fridge. However, sell by/use by dates were yet to be invented when I grew up, so I too use the common sense “if it looks and smells OK” yardstick like @rebrascora. I realise you have to be much more careful when feeding/cooking for other people’s children. Actually I thought they were being replaced by “best before” dates these days?yes I think you are probably right, I should have read it twice, somewhat tired after an unplanned trip to Home Bargains where I found my caramel coffee at a bargain price - it is too much excitement for a Thursday afternoon! lol You are braver than me in what you eat, having had to do the food hygiene level 2 courses for work (cooking with, and for, kids), I rarely touch anything past its use by - hubby will eat anything and that's fine unless I catch him trying to give any to the dog! I am a great one for bagging things up, in good time, and throwing in the freezer for another day. 🙂
As a microbiologist I was often horrified at the lack of good practice in shops, butchers serving raw meat then using the same hands and scales for cooked meat (not allowed now thank goodness) and even now a cabinet of reduced goods all mixed up. We always used to say it was dish cloths that were to biggest kitchen hygiene problem.I have done several Food Hygiene courses, but well over 20 years ago when we had the hotel and restaurant.

Come to think about it, there were no supermarkets until I was about 20, then a Sainsbury opened up nearby. My mother was thrilled she could get all her groceries in one shop. Prior to that you had to go round the butcher, the baker, the greengrocer. No wonder housewives were exactly that in those days, not career women or holding down a full time job as well as feeding the family and doing the chores.
Yes, but we rarely got food poisoning. Though I had it (dysentry, salmonella and Giardiasis included)As a microbiologist I was often horrified at the lack of good practice in shops, butchers serving raw meat then using the same hands and scales for cooked meat (not allowed now thank goodness) and even now a cabinet of reduced goods all mixed up.

If I buy short date items they are the ones that go in the freezer to get out and use the same day.
True, my nieces were brought up on a farm in the most unhygienic conditions imaginable and never seemed to get anything. Everybody has become 'too clean' with all the sprays etc so no resistance to normal bugs.Yes, but we rarely got food poisoning. Though I had it (dysentry, salmonella and Giardiasis included)
more than a few times when I was regularly flying to 3rd world countries. At least my dishcloths only get used for 1 day.
it was the salmon not the butter. I have been getting deliveries from Tesco every week for two years now and they very rarely give me stuff with short dates. I always make a point of asking for long dates on my comments and to be fair they refund everything that is short dated when it is pointed out. I have had far less wastage and short dates and generally poor choices since having deliveries compared with when I used to shop for myself. My local pickers are brilliant and often sub in much more expensive and nicer products if my usual choices are not available. I'm guessing there was not any other salmon in store at that point so it was that or nothing and they happily refund if I am not happy.put butter into little sealed pots or wraps of clingfilm, whatever you have to use, and then freeze it - just get out what you need when you need it. Saves wasting it. Bad play on Tesco's part when they usually guarantee at least a few days before expiry, that is the one downside of online shopping, I look for the longest dates going: which has been a running joke in recent weeks wherever I've shopped! Too much was eat with a day or so, it really annoyed me.
I have only recently got back to eating smoked salmon. Twenty years ago I went out for a Valentine's meal with my husband at a posh restaurant and they served smoked salmon starters. We got violent and prolonged food poisoning and it took me until last year to be able to eat it again.Yes, but we rarely got food poisoning.

That looks delicious. I like the idea of the nut base as the reason I have never liked cheese cake is the biscuit base.Yesterday:
Late Breakfast - melba toast made with home made keto bread and bacon with decaf coffee
Late Lunch - half a ribeye steak with cucumber and quarter tomato and slice of keto bread and butter.
Evening - I made a lime cream pie with cream cheese, cream, gelatine, sweetener, lime oil and a toffee/fudge base of crushed nuts and butter and sweetener.
Drinking - sparkling water and coffee.

Yes, it's pretty nasty. I should have known not to eat salad off the buffet in Cairo. If they wash it at all it's in dirty water!True, my nieces were brought up on a farm in the most unhygienic conditions imaginable and never seemed to get anything.

My daughter got amoebic dysentery when in Goa and just wanted to die she felt so ill.
