Well, hunger took over me I guess...
I found a pack of sausages in the fridge and cooked them normally. They tasted fine and I didn't think any different.
I then looked at the packet and found the use by date to be the 27th. I smelled the pack and it smelt like alcohol. Definitely not a "sausagey" smell.
Now what? How do I find out if I am I'll or not. Is there a time period?
Probably next time I should read the label.
Just some background information, the sausages were stored in the fridge. Not the freezer.
