Smelly mince

[Barmaid]

I bought some mince at the weekend. It should have been used by 7th. It's gone slightly brown. I've opened it and I wouldn't say "it mings", but there is a slight odour to it.

Not sure whether to rinse it in water and then vinegar and chilli it anyway or sling it. I HATE throwing food out though. But with the chaos theory that has invaded my house this week, it is unsurprising. What would you do?

NB - for those who normally inhabit CB, I said "MINCE"!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Personally I wouldn't use it for Steak tartare, but I'd certainly cook with it.

i made the mistake of cooking and eating some like that once (only a day out of date and slight odour)

went down ok, but came up pretty fast too :(

lol Red. I hope it's OK cos I have a chilli bubbling away right now.

Mind you I am a total F***wit. Instead of ground coriander I shook ground cinnamon into it. My saving grace is that if it's Sugar, I can blame it on slightly off meat!!!!

Got any chocolate? Grate that into it, tell 'em it's Xmas Chilli

Out of date mince that smells and has changed colour? Wouldn't chance it!

When in doubt chuck it out, or chuck it up.
