Would you eat this or bin it?

[StrugglingWithItAll123]

You cooked a mincemeat, veg and rice dish on a Monday night. Had a portion for dinner on Tuesday and on Wednesday. It stayed in the fridge until Sunday morning at which point you froze the remaining two portions.

It needs to be binned doesn't it?

No i wouldn't unless froze same day or following morning after cooking

No, I'd eat it no problem. Stop with the food waste it's been in the fridge it will be fine.

Yes. Will probably be fine but food poisoning is nasty and unless you are absolutely 100% sure your fridge is below 4° I would still bin. In future stick to 3 days in fridge before freezing.

What do you think it's suddenly going to do to you?

I would have binned it.

I should have frozen it on Friday but I completely forgot

Just make sure you heat it red hot.

Rice is where you need to be cautious- I would bin it.

Based on no science at all, I think I’d bin that 😕

Mince and rice can both be a bit dodgy, and a week after cooking is a long time. Gutted for you though OP!

Food poisoning. Early freezing prevents bacteria from multiplying.

Honestly I’m quite easy going with food but I’d bin it

Yeah I'm binning it. Gutted. Hate wasting food 😔

Me too, I'd bin this one op

Out of interest, what was the dish?

I'm pretty easy on food dates and storage, but rice and mince in the fridge for a week would be going in the bin, not the freezer.

"Dirty rice" it's a really tasty dish. Definitely worth a google

Sorry I see there was rice involved! Yes in that case compost for me too
