Are pickled onions that are 18 months out of date edible? - now burnt hand
As this forum can answer anything.......
I've got a jar of pickled onions that i've opened at some point. The sell by date is July 2007.
Are they still edible (and by edible I mean, enjoyable and no trip to the toilet afterwards)?

You're hardly going to get food poisoning anyway so try 'em and if they're not nice bin them.

You shouldn't eat them. I'm sure they're fine to eat technically, but they're pickled onions!
The mental gymnastics a landlord will employ to justify immoral actions is clinically fascinating. Just because something is legal doesn't make
it moral.

There are no onions that are edible in any form whatsoever, pickled or unpickled, in date or out. Onions should be banned, ban them I say. As for
garlic, that should be banned too. And then banned again. Then dug up and banned for a third time.

Eat one and see how you go.
If you live, eat the rest of them.
That's how I tend to deal with these issues and this is one of these rare chances in life where the safety Nazis don't get to tell you
what you're going to do.
Besides which, pickling foods was done originally for the taste, it's to preserve it - as you already know.
Get them down yer neck.

I once had some 30 year old tinned fruit that had been in my Uncle's cellar and it was perfect.

Heathen.
The red onion when served with some real proper chicken tikka is a thing of beauty.
On a more prosaic level, anyone that cannot glean joy from chopped onion added to cheese on toast ( or is it roasted cheese ? - discuss) is indeed a
strange individual.

I'm currently losing weight this way, though not from pickles. It isn't so great, trust me.

Only reason that tins & pickles etc go out
of date is that the preservatives go off.
Good food ruined by chemicals
Old tins & jars didn't have chemicals,
so no problem

can't type well - badly burnt hand welding!!!
Forgot that after you leave a piece, walk away, potter, walk back cant hold another bit of steel with gloves on, remove glove as you can't hold
it properly, when you go to support yourself even though the metal isn't glowing its still blooming hot.
never had my hand sting so much before - keep putting it inside wine cooler to keep cold. used up cold packs
(didn't try pickles yet - i believe the way sell by dates etc are set is by a combination of one of two things - 1) its the date - a bit they
reasonably expect the food to last 2) its how long they could be bothered testing for ........ eg if you want to write 50 years sell by, you are
supposed to test the product for 50 years)

no - pickled onions didn't make me burn myself.
Diagnosis is a deep thickness burn or something sounding like that. (diagnosis from mate who used to work in foundry, not hospital).
No blisters just damned painful if my hand spends more than 30 seconds away from iced water / ice pack / something very cold.

Sounds like a bad 2nd or 3rd degree burn, personally I'd head to A&E and get some decent anti-septic on it as if it gets infected
it'll be a lot worse. They should be able to give you some 'proper' pain killers so you'll get a nights sleep at least.

I second IanK's advice, metal burns are known for turning septic.
Beware of breathing onion fumes over the nurses at A&E

We're still eating pickled onions and chutney we made 4 years ago with no ill effects, pickling is a way of preserving food so I say go for it.
Get a bag of peas out of the freezer for the burn, it drapes nicely over the affected area (sweetcorn will do as a second choice or sliced green
beans)

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
