Interestingly- where did you buy it?...some shops are well within the 'Ukk date' whilst others are so very very close

Was probably Tesco. Really can't remember how long ago, but it can't have been long out of date.

Hmm..chicken/turkey, fish , pork and shell fish- get e a bit paranoid about use-by dates

Good job your nose is working well- and you haven't got a cold!!!

UK Waitrose are great sticklers for not reducing the goods till the very last moment. I am probably about to open a hornets nest here but is hanging game and foul really that injurous to health.

Give your smelly chicken a good salt bath. Stick it an hot oven and enjoy. If you feel poorly tomorrow it's probably something ate.

There is quite a difference between 'hanging' game, and something going off in a dish or plastic bag in the fridge. It's to do with humidity and air movement.....

Hung game is one thing, gone off chicken is quite another. Yuk!
I've had several bits from our local Co Op that have been vile

I've got some goose breasts in the freezer that smell minging!

Once cooked though they smell like roast pork!

(Got no fancy for rancid chicken though!)

Did anyone say it was rancid. Thought it was just smelly. Now talk about smelly I've got some cheese in the fridge......

The answer is in the thread title Brengirl............

I thought rancid was decomposition...also smelly. Does it also mean unfit for consumption

Ewww, yeah. I once ate a boiled egg when I had a cold. Think it was fine, but the limited taste sensation caused a disgusting fragrance while I was chewing it. My advice: Never eat a boiled egg with a cold!

Have you tried a sniff of olbas oil? that'll get rid of anything!

Rotten, forgotten liver! Now that would beat a gone-off chicken breast. Seriously, chew a sprig of parsley, that'll get rid of the problem.
