To eat a strangers dinner

[Imnotbatman]

The PIL came over yesterday with a bunch of frozen food. Their "across the road" neighbour had a freezer breakdown and was just going to throw away the lot and buy a huge new one which wasnt coming until next week.
PIL said they would take some of it off her hands. So they brought us some. I have a turkey crown, lots of frozen fish and some packaged up pre prepared bolognaise.
WIBU to defrost and eat a total stranger's meal? Or should I bin it?

Bin. Yack. Someone elses spag bol. Keep the other stuff. For visitors to eat. :)

I dont think I would. Just because I like to see how clean knives and forks are in peoples houses. Not sure why not restaurants though.
But if you feel OK about it...

It would be such a waste to bin it though.

I'd eat it, I hate seeing food wasted. There's no reason to suppose the neighbour is manky is there? - your PIL obviously thought it would be OK and they must know the woman is reasonably hygienic.

Just make sure nothing has half thawed and been refrozen while being transferred.

I don't think I'd fancy the home cooked bolognaise, but the rest would be OK.

eat... yum yum

The thought of the bolognaise gives me the gacks too, which I accept is utterly ridiculous, given I eat from restaurants/takeaways and so on, but still, I wouldn't enjoy it.

I wouldnt eat it as you dont know how long it has been in there.
I eat anything but I wont eat that.

No problem here.

Seriously? Why the hell not?

I'd eat it!

Hides from botts.
It might have been in there 6months/years. Plus I can make my own.

I'd eat it, presumably the PIL wouldn't have done this if their neighbours lived in some kind of filth strewn nightmare house and really, it's spag bol, how bad could it be after a good nuking in the microwave to heat it up.

Its dated by the way 15/4

Yacky yacks. Nuked until it's a puree. No thanks. I only do wilde led weaning. Carrot sticks yes, a yoghurt yes. Some 3year old spag bol. No.

You know, nothing really happens to food if it's frozen for years. It gets a bit tasteless and rubbery, but it won't kill you.

I'm probably just lazy - I jump at the chance of free/ready made food!

Total drip feed. So it is over a month old.
Give it to someone. Dp?

I'd eat it - tis no different from eating a home-cooked dinner at a friends house to me!

I eat food I've dropped on the floor so my standards are very fairly low...

Come over here botts. dp has all sorts in the freezer.

God I would totally eat it.

Gosh I'd eat it!

My sister's neighbour once brought over some sausages that were past their eat-by date. Thought they might do for sister's dog. Sister (tight-arse extraordinaire) ate them herself.

I'd eat it - if they've bothered to date it they're probably pretty hygenic!

I couldn't or rather I wouldn't. I'm a bit weird about food though ( and yet as others have said I dine out in restaurants without worrying too much)

I hate food waste - I would eat it! Nothing worse than people throwing good food in the bin.

Sorry, wasnt meant to drip feed. I just didnt think of adding the date thing until someone on here asked/mentioned it.Nowt more to tell.
