We ordered way too much last night and stupidly, I left it all out from 8 pm until I got up about 8 am. I'm sure the noodles are fine but the chicken....? My head says I'd BU to eat it but my heart stomach says IT'S FINE!

Depends what your system is like, DS would be fine, DD would be sick.
I'd be fine, OH would be sick. Smile

Don't eat anything with rice.

I do it all the time. I justify it with the argument that any resulting food poising would be good for weight loss so win win!

Depends on your kitchen. Mine is colder than my fridge!

I allways forget to put it in the fridge & eat it the next day. Just make sure it's very hot :)

Oh god yes, yummy. Although I do have an iron stomach, if I had a weaker constitution I'd be more wary, obv.

I'd eat anything except rice. Really don't eat anything with rice in!

I would, but I have a cast iron stomach.

I do it all the time with the left overs, my tummy handles it pretty well.

A friend of mine got salmonella after eating left over chinese that hadn't been refrigerated. He was in hospital for 3 weeks and nearly died.

I would.

Takes a lot to upset my cast iron stomach!

Nuke it in the microwave.

I would eat it. How warm do you think your kitchen was overnight?

Kitchen is generally pretty cold. I ate the noodles and a bit of the chicken. It tasted good and hopefully I'll live to tell the tale.

I do this all the time (not with chinese simply because we dont eat out much, but have done in the past) and I have a stomach of steel.

Do it!

I would eat it - but not the rice.

Heat up so it is piping hot.

But do bin the rice - or any rice dish - rice can grow spores which can't then be destroyed by cooking - and will give you the poorlies. Grin

enjoy.

Rice is usually fine too, I think lots of people are scared because it's a not a staple food in the UK.

I would, just had leftover curry from last night.
I am pretty sure it's ok if you microwave the hell out of it.
