At the moment I'm at my wit's end over this. Last night I decided to cook some halloumi that I've had in a cupboard for something like eight months - the long use-by date made me think I could do this. It was only after opening it and trying a piece did I notice that it should have been kept in the fridge all this time (which I don't have). So I've tried to keep calm, but I'm failing. I know it's very rare in the UK but it has to happen, right?
