Eeek I have even been known just to cut the moudly bits off and still use it - is that disgusting?
I'm quite glad the boxing is now off, don't want to be one of Batty's dates and being sniffed, only to find my mouldy bits are to be cut off and I'm still to be used!

I am now a proud owner of a tin of anchovies (oop) from the lovely K, any bidders? I am thinking of taking it to Ebay :D

Another Question:

I've got a full bottle of Poppy Seeds that I might have abought 5 years ago... no expiry date on it. So do you think it is safe to eat them still?
