Concerned about smelly chicken

[Lula2515]

So I just ate some (well cooked) chicken breast which was in date but had started to smell a little bit.
Am I a total tool?
I'm off on holiday on Friday, will I be ill for then?
Am I going to die? (I know I won't die)

Well you'll soon find out... Good luck.

Personally I wouldn't eat smelly chicken no matter how in date it was! If it was well cooked you might be ok. I imagine you'd find out a lot sooner than Friday if you've managed to give yourself food poisoning!

Oh Jesus.
What an idiot. I thought I was imagining it so cooked it anyway, ate half then stopped eating it as I realised it definitely did whiff a bit.

I will eat most things if they are iffy. Bacon, beef, venison etc. I scrape mould off the top of jam, trim the edge off mouldy cheese and pick the green bits out of mouldy bread. I also regularly re-heat rice with wild abandon. Fish and chicken however.....No thanks!
