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 that went out of date in 2017 Envy (not envy)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?

@hadesinahalfahell

I eat food that is supposedly way out of date all the time and nothing has ever happened to me.

Are you sure?

Caviar eggs are juicy, shiny beads that burst with moisture when you eat them. They taste of the sea. Black sesame seeds are hard, dry seeds. OP I cannot fathom how you could possibly mistake one for the other. Biscuit

This thread is fucking hilarious Grin

Also, I googled 'lumpfish' after reading the top of the jar in OP's picture. It's one of these:

We have black sesame seeds in the cupboard, they live right next to the sushi ginger and wasabi. Of course I assumed the small, black stuff on the sushi was sesame seeds rather than a random pot of 3 years out of date caviar.

Well you’ve either never eaten sesame seeds or you’ve never eaten caviar because there is no way you could confuse the two.


You make our you are familiar with sesame seeds as you know where they’re kept in your kitchen. So you’ll know they are tiny, bone dry, hard little seeds. Absolutely nothing like caviar which are juicy, little eggs which burst with moisture.

I’m sorry but this story is total bull! That’s fine if what you’re trying to do is just amuse us but it’s annoying when people make crap up.

Well you have probably gone off caviar, but you can get vegan caviar called caviart 🤪. It's actually just as good as lumpfish eggs and made from seaweed.

Daisydoesnt I've never eaten caviar before. Like I said, it's not something I'm familiar with.

I saw the sushi with black stuff on, assumed it was sesame seeds (as we own black sesame seeds and to me that is a normal thing to have on sushi) ate it and immediately realised it wasn't sesame seeds.

Asked DP what it was, discovered it was caviar, got a sinking feeling just knowing it was that pot that's been in the fridge for years. Checked the use by date and it is October 2017.

If I wanted to make up a 'funny' story I'd come up with something better than that.

I feel sick btw.

OP I would advise about 3 litres of water, boiled or bottled, room temperature even a bit warmer, and make yourself sick more. Do you have herbal tea: mint or camomile? Only don’t make a strong one at first.

Update us, I hope it will be ok. I won’t drink any Baileys today in support.
Black caviar is not easy for digestion even when it’s ok. Good luck.

Some of these comments have made my night.

Tell Jesus I say hi, and save the little Spurgeon's as your new pets. Just make sure you give them a good rise before popping in the fish tank.

The Romans used to make a special sauce (which was considered to be a delicacy) using rotten fish heads - if it's good enough for the Romans...
Good luck op!
