Page 1 of Quiches And Those Pasty Things

Those quiches, pasties, pies, etc that you get in the supermarket and are in the fridge bit. Can you eat them straight away, or do they have to be heated as per instructions on label?
The label says "can be eaten hot or cold", then promptly tells you to heat them.
In brief, are they safe out of Tesco`s fridge to down at lunch without heating?
Daft, I know, but always avoided them lest I get food poisoning.

if pre-cooked most are, you can eat straight out of the box...

but...

quiche is for wimps! :D



`I am going to live forever, or die trying`...

Tasty though.
How do you know if they are pre-cooked. The box/wrapper never says so?

You mean those pre-packed pasties, like Ginsters and so forth?

They`re perfectly safe to eat cold - just somewhat unpleasant, like downing a tin of cold baked beans. Still, if you`re that hungry...

Yep, that`s what I mean. So I can eat them out of the fridge, as is?
Thanks.

Ginsters always give me gut ache (cooked or not).

I prefer Ivor Dewdney`s pasties myself.



I quite like the Helpdesk people in a benevolent (as opposed to malevolent) way as they do some valuable work in preventing us being inundated by every halfwit who can work a phone.

Because of the nature of a quiche (it`s a savoury custard), it has to be cooked otherwise it`d run out of the box if you tipped it up ;)

They`re absolutely safe to eat cold out of the box, but I find they`re nicer if you cook `em for the alloted time and let them go cold again - brings out the flavour. ASDA do a smashing chicken and mushroom one.

And to hell with Bruce Fierstein and his "real men don`t eat quiche" bollocks. Real men don`t throw a sissy fit about what they`re having for dinner. Only toddlers get bent out of shape about that topic.

To think Fierstein got his Bond scripts gig on the back of that article! Pfft!

Guess that depends on who made it. My brother-in-law makes a quiche that is almost 6 inches deep and filled with bacon. Not for wimps, I can assure you... :p

Quiche should never be eaten cold. Urgh! :o

Go that way, really fast. If something gets in your way, turn...

And those who dance will spin and turn,
And those who wait will wait no more,
And those who talk will hear the words,
And those who see will fade and die,
And those who laugh will surely fall,
And those who know will always feel their backs against the thin wall...

What`s wrong with you lot - you`ve got a thread about Quiche - I`ve gone to hell!! I just know it.

Sometimes, with some pies and especially Quiches "Hot or Cold " means Hot or Cold AFTER they have been cooked once. Cold meaning therefore when a cooked meal has cooled!
