Help! Will I Be Ok?

[Caran]

Fancying something sweet, I had a rummage in the fridge. At the back I found a crime brûlée.
I put the sugar on it and put it under the grill.
I ate it, it was delicious but....
I have just noticed the sell by date.
It was 5.12.2013!!
I new I'd had it a while but horrified I was so old. Didn't taste wrong. It was in a small glass dish sealed with tinfoil.
Am I going to be up all night?

[Peter Pedant]

tomorrow tyou can tell us what it is like to have grown another head ....

[Barmaid]

You are SO going to die....

Seriously, if it smelt OK and tasted OK chances are it was OK. Stop worrying.

[jno]

you'll be okay - statistics show death by creme brûlée are at an all-time low, thanks to improving resuscitation techniques.

[Old_Geezer]

It's 50% sugar isn't it ? I doubt it'd go off until 2513.

[Caran]

Thank you all for your very positive and helpful postings. I will let you know if I don't make it through the night.

[Caran]

Lardy it is the University of the Third Age. An association for people who are not in full time employment. Mainly older people. It's mantra is learning through pleasure. We have loads of groups. Play reading, guitar, French, gardening! walking groups! mahjong! and many more. Majority of towns have one. Well worth joining.

[lardhelmet]

Thank you Caran. It looks interesting but as I still work full time at the moment, I can't join yet.

[Peter Pedant]

You can do a Diarrhoea and VOmiting course at the OU ?
wonders never cease

anyway Caran - what happened ?

Answer: Caran's first head: nothing at all - I feel OK
Caran's second new head: Oh God I hate it when she eats out of date food!

Assuming it was put straight in the fridge after purchasing, left there the entire time and then cooked (grilled).... you should be ok.
I would imagine worst case scenario a slightly unsettled tummy, but try to FORGET you have done this or your mind will exacerbate every single rumble!!

[janbee]

Ask again from the hospital !!
Seriously, you'll be fine.

Oh I see this was posted last night..........
Well Caran, if you have woken feeling well, you have got away with it as you would know by know if tummy was unsettled!

[mikey4444]
