So just about to make some pancakes and just realised the plain flour i have has been pas it's 'best date' since October last year.

It looks, smells and tastes OK - will it be safe?

Perfectly safe. It's a "best before", not a "use by".

Well that was a disaster.

Yep - my kitchen looked like Tony Montana's office by the time we were done. The wife was so chuffed.

Sadly Davie, it's not just kids that have a capacity for kitchen related disasters.

hehe I did exactly the same thing myself with spinach soup. Tell me, why is it always something green the kitchen gets splattered with?
