    I realised a pack of bacon that was in the fridge went out of date yesterday, so before I came into work I cooked it all and got about as far as eating half of it — sans anything else, no bread, no nothing — before remembering how profoundly awful I felt last time I did something so stupid.

    I now feel only moderately awful.

    • from bacon overload or from it being out of date? Had it formed any of that weird silver tinge?Ianbolton
    • one day out of date isn't going to kill you. i eat out of date bacon that's been open for several days without any ill effects.hans_glib
    • @ian - just from eating 7 slices of bacon. No weird shimmer. @hans, I know - I just used the opp to force me to cook it, else it'd sit there for another month.Nairn
    • back is pork + nitrates and salt. Just buy decent quality organic pork. If it's a joint, semi-freeze and then slice thinly. cure with salt+spices.shapesalad
