SparklyUnicorn Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I just ate a piece of chicken that sat out all night. Let's see if it kills me. :lol: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SparklyUnicorn Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 I do it all the time. When I was deciding I thought about all the "would you eat this" threads and said...eh screw it, I'm eating this! LOL 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marbel Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I spent my 29th birthday barhopping with friends. Along the way we picked up some chicken salad at a Chinese restaurant. We ate some of it in one of the bars, and then the leftovers ended up in my car. The next morning when I woke up, I was craving more of that chicken salad. So, I got it out of the car and ate it. It was March so it wasn't hot in the car overnight, but it was California (Bay Area) so not real cold either, probably... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evergreen State Sue Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I think it depends how hot your house is over night. Our house is in the 50s at night at this time of year so I wouldn't have a problem eating it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anne in CA Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I don't think it's 40 in my kitchen right now. I would have no problem at all eating seafood I left out overnight, lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Marmalade Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Once upon a time that was fairly normal. Before iceboxes and refrigerators, leftovers sat out in the larder and would get eaten the next day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynn Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 (edited) You are brave. I don't take any chances. I throw away anything cooked left over for 2 days, never eat anything left out more than 2 hours and countless pound of meat if it's uncooked in fridge 2 days. I don't want that kind of illness ever again, one food poisoning in a lifetime is more than enough for me.

G5052 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 LOL -- I wouldn't, but I was in the hospital for 4 days with food poisoning in college, so I'm paranoid. There were so many sick that they only put the sickest of us into the small local hospital, and everyone else was cared for in the college gym. The state investigated, and it was the lettuce in the salad bar. Sigh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christusg01 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 That would be a big no here. DD12 had a bout of food poisoning last month that landed her in the ER. I've never seen so much vomiting. It was from a chicken wing that had not been properly refrigerated. Nothing is worth possible food poisoning for our family! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Tick Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I would have too. Both (yes twice!) of my bouts of food poisoning have come from restaurants vetted by their respective Health Departments, never from my own laissez faire kitchen attitudes. Live on the edge! That way you are close if you have to throw up. 😄 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rose Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I definitely would have. I'll eat my hat if you get sick. ;) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I wouldn't have, but I am slowly dying from eating frosting and pretzels this morning. At least that's what my healthy eating books say... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
