Would you eat prawn Chinese takeaway left out overnight then chilled?

[Purplecatshopaholic]

I left some Chinese food on the counter top last night as forgot to put it in the fridge. It’s prawn dish. It’s chilly here overnight and I put it in the fridge first thing this morning. Would you eat it tonight?

Will the OP tease us as to her fate by not returning…

You know it's not a 100% certain death sentence 😂

I've eaten left overs my whole life, still alive and planning to carry on doing so for the foreseeable

I’m normally very relaxed too but not with prawns, so it’s a no from me.

Very little point asking on MN.
Lots of the posters on here are proud of the fact they’ll eat any minging old thing that’s been left out or gone past it’s use by date as long as it “smells and looks ok” because they’ve always done it and haven’t yet died.
My dad was like this until he actually got food poisoning. He’s a lot less cavalier about it now.

Nope !

no way and I’m quite laissez faire about such things

I would and have done many times. I'd probably eat it cold or nuke it.

Yes. I’ve never had the shits from it

Not prawns, hell no! Anything else I’d happily eat cold for breakfast but not prawns x

Not me, but I wouldn't eat a prawn dish if it was put in front of me freshly made.

I'm not allergic to prawns but they look like pink wood-lice with their legs pulled off, which I find a bit off-putting.

It's probably best I don't even talk about crab or lobster dishes...

You can easily leave something at room temperature for an hour and then put it in the fridge. It doesn’t have to be fully cooled

No

Most likely and did so last weekend with rice and prawn balls. Obviously didn't kill me

Nope.

Get plenty of toilet paper and a sock bowl. Bottled water by the bed. About three days worth.

Yes - I actually did this on Saturday with leftover from Friday. Made sure it was heated well 🤷‍♀️

4 hours.

You know those cages of chilled foods in supermarkets are often out for more than hour especially when it’s busy ( like Christmas when theres lots of prawns about…)

I'd risk it with some things, but not prawns and not rice from a takeaway. Good luck OP.

Depends if I fancied a week off work and had a stone to lose

I wouldn’t eat them even if they had been in the fridge never mind left out.

No. Bin.

I would, but I have the digestive system of an ox and wouldn't even think about it. I would say that if you need to ask Mumsnet you're probably better off binning it!

Yes. But only if I absolutely needed to have food poisoning for some reason.
To be fair, I wouldn't fancy it freshly delivered.

I am quite gung ho about food hygiene (eg use by dates, reheating) but I would probably chuck that out now because a) seafood and b) I trust my own standards but it’s always a bit unknown with takeaways.

No way!!
