Eating things past their use by dates?

I well wouldn't eat em, I dont trust the dubious questionable sausage.

You want to be a bit careful, mind. I did once eat the second half of a packet of lentil and sausage soup that had been opened in the fridge for a week and had a very explosive time out of both ends for a few days afterwards.

A few weeks ago i ate some pate that was 9 days past its use by date and was fine........

I did that a little over two weeks ago.

My guts still aren't right
