Got some carrot batons, ready to boil, just 5p instead of 60p today. Will just boil a little as I need them crunchy to dip in hummous and taramasalta.

They're not allowed to sell them after the date. It's ilegal.

I recall that certain US states that have the Death Penalty by lethal injection found the Poison was out of date , therefore they were not allowed to adminster the Death Penalty .

I remember that and they have to swab the arm beforehand to avoid risk of infection for the condemned man.
Can't be going to hell with an infection.

If it's Polonium would it have a half-life date instead?

The swab contains a local anaesthetic, they are used on kids getting jabs too (obviously not for a lethal injection).

Got a packet of pork luncheon tongue and one of ox tongue for 10p each tonight in Sainsbury's. 4 slices in each, usually £2.50 a pack with today's date on.

Just had a couple of slices of the ox on a sandwich. Nice, haven't had tongue in ages.

Why are Croutons sold in a sealed airtight bag ?
Croutons are just stale bread .

Stale?? Says who? :woteva:

And the airtight packaging is simply to keep it crunchy & crisp.

Stale bread is for bread+butter pudding, which I loathe.

I love bread and butter pudding, whatever the variations with it :wubwub: .... I have to try something new though in that department :leer: ..... using croissants... slice, butter and spread with marmalade of choice... put in oven dish, chuck in some choc chips, top with scoops of vanilla ice cream and bake! :razz:

At all !
Luckily there are so many other types of desserts to choose from, spoilt for choice lol.

Stale bread makes for a crunchier crouton, but once crisp you need to lock it in! :mrgreen:

A hot beverage is too wet without a digestive, the ad used to say.
Similarly a bowl of soup is too wet without croutons imo. :laughing:
