    Question: Would you eat pate that is one week (use by) out of date?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

      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

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

      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 or seen that word I think. The food itself looks way up my alley 😍

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

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