How much trouble am I in? (Food poisoning)

DP made home made sushi.

I ate some with what I thought were black sesame seeds on it. Tasted weird. Turns out the black stuff was from an old jar of caviar DP found at the back of the fridge... that went out of date in 2017 Envy (not envy)

What now? Am I going to die?

I used to be able to do this trick with fishes. Haven't done it for a while, mind.

thank you @giantangryrooster. I've eaten it before aplenty but never 'prepared' it (opened the jar) myself. I suppose that should make me feel better - I'm in charge.

i shall have to eat ALL the wee eggs :)

Good luck, OP!

@MooseBeTimeForSummer

Caviar £20 a tin? lol

It's a lot more? Jesus what an extravagant way to enjoy a slightly fishy salty taste in your mouth.

Agree with pp, this isn't just food poisoning, it's the finest, vaire expensive food poisoning.

What a middle class way to die 🤣

Quite! Grin

I suppose it could be worse. I wouldn't want to be the lady who died after eating jellied eels.

Hope you’re feeling better soon, Sapphos. Remind yourself how little you ate— it only looked like a sprinkling of tiny seeds.

How much did you eat? If an unopened jar and not a lot I’m putting money on you surviving the night

I love jellied eels! I'd much rather die after eating jellied eels than caviar!

Totally going off on a tangent here but my Dad loved jellied eels. After he died I bought a pot, hid them in a bunch of flowers and took them to the crematorium and left them in the garden of remembrance. Looking back it really wasn't a good idea and I dread to think what people thought when they began to get a bit high!

I hope you're OK OP.

You know what we always say here, you don't have a caviar problem, you have a DH problem. That fucker wants the house. Get your own back on Christmas day with something turkey related.

Also who only has Baileys.

It might be a good idea to put a bucket in the bathroom in case both ends need to go at once. I’m speaking as someone who has an intolerance to an “as yet unknown substance”. Waste paper bin anyone!

Hey OP, you’re missing the golden opportunity to eat something (within dates) that you’d like to stop being partial to.

Hack your body’s disgust mechanism- that thing that makes your body remember what it ate just before being sick and go right off it for ages.

Got any biscuits or wine around? It’d be handy to go off those over Xmas? You’ll come out of Covid & Xmas all slim and smug!

I'm still alive.

How much did I eat? Just one bit of sushi with the caviar on it but it was very well covered. Would say about 1/4 of the pot.

Ah yes, you’re likely going to need ‘The Bowl of Horrors’ out of the laundry cupboard. Put it near the loo. If this goes nuclear you’ll lose the capacity to dash to the laundry later on.

Make sure your DH uses this time productively. He’s got some serious penance ahead. Start him with a bleach-fest of the kitchen.

Honestly OP if you're eating food from a fridge that hasn't been cleaned out in 3 years your system is probably hardened against food poisoning organisms by now!

@daisyjgrey

I once ate a fair amount of slightly gone off prawns. Had stomach cramps no didn't feel amazing. Drank A LOT of water and ate a whole big pot of organic live yoghurt and the fall out was minimal.

The fall out! 😂

@SummerHouse

I am really confident you won't get sick

Either that or you will be hallucinating so bad you will meet Jesus at 19:49.

You just made me laugh out loud!

Get some peppermint tea down you toot suite. It won't stop you being sick, but it will make your farts smell nicer. (It does help with cramps too)
