Would you still eat this?

Yes it's one of those. Am doing a slow cooker gammon stew thing. Have just gone to shred the gammon and discovered that DH left a layer of plastic around the gammon. It's been cooking for 6 hours. Looks and tastes ok apart from having dried up a bit. Have added some water. Would you still eat it?

As long as you fish the plastic out first, then yes. Boil in the bag is still a thing. 😂

Depends on whether the plastic is removable / fairly intact in one piece or whether it melted and mixed too much with everything.

I hate wasted food so I would eat it.

It hasn't melted, was easily removed.

Yes, you leave them on to boil a gammon joint to make sure it doesn’t fall apart.

I read somewhere we ingest the equivalent of 2 plastic carrier bags a year so I wouldn’t worry 😄

Wouldn’t even cross my mind to not eat it 🤷🏻‍♀️
