Part Baked Bread Rolls.

[Caran]

OH has just discovered a pack of part baked baguettes in the cupboard. They are dated June and still look ok. What do you think should I cook them or throw them out?

[ummmm]

Cook them. It's only bread so it won't hurt you.

[cupotee2]

I imagine they will be a bit hard by now. Personally I'd throw them out.

[Caran]

I've done this before. Found some two months old and cooked them and they were fine but wondered if this was pushing it a bit.

[ummmm]

I'd do it. Maybe sprinkle them with extra water.

Use by/sell by dates have a lot to answer for, imo.

As a coinnoseur of French bread I abhor the term 'baguette' used to describe English bread in the same shape. French bread is made without fat and after a few hours tends to go a bit hard. The following day it is inedible. That's why the French have so many 'boulangeries' and people buy bread once, twice or three times a day. There is no comparison.

Do it and if they're not right bin them and if they are right eat them.
What have you got to lose?

[Caran]

The birds will enjoy them if they are not right.

Les ouiseaux vont les manger.

Caran beat me to it!☺

[ducksie]

I agree with ummmm, a little bit more water and bake

[Peter Pedant]

go for it
I am not sure if bread - 'goes off'

[Peter Pedant]

oobi-tair

les ouiseaux aussi ?

[Tilly2]

Are they in a vacuum pack? They'll be fine unless the air has got in, in which case they will be mouldy.

If followed by a cup full of vinegar to help kill off the accumulated bacteria I'm sure they will be fine.

[RATTER15]

Honestly! for the sake of "PENCE" is it really worth it!?

If I find anything out of date in my fridge or cupboards, it goes to the dogs or the bin!

[Hopkirk]

That's cruelty to dogs

[Canary42]

You should read Alec Rose's (or might have been Francis Chichester's) sailing-solo-round-the-world book - he kept bread for yonks, cutting the green mouldy bits off and eating the rest as he progressed through his stock.

Corr really ratter?

I've never followed sell by and best before dates.

If it smells ok and isn't wearing a furry green coat (lol) we eat it, I simply can't afford to throw food away.

[Chipchopper]

I've often chanced this and found no problems. I store mine in the fridge to extend the shelf life.
What don't kill you, makes you stronger...right ?

[pastafreak]

Those damn sell by dates have a lot to answer for...number one being all the food that's thrown out in this country.
