To potentially make DH very ill?

I realise there is a similar themed thread here, must be food hygiene day.

Anyway, I cooked a chicken on Thursday afternoon. Switched the oven off when it was ready and left it in there (one of those cook in the bag ALDI special bad boys).

We went away for the weekend and I totally forgot about it until now.

AIBU to test it on DH to see if it's edible? DH things it probably is, so is sort of consenting. He's also left his bastarding socks on the floor next to the laundry basket again, for me to collect and wash presumably. As such, I feel his life is expendable at the moment.

Don't worry about picking socks. You'll be too busy wiping up vomit.

DH ate some ham yesterday that had decidedly green/ grey tinges. Today he has stomach cramps and could shit through the eye of a needle. Silly boy.

Chuck the chicken.

I'm pretty laidback about leaving food out, (not like some on here who bin food if it's over an hour out of the oven) but even I wouldn't touch this with a barge pole! You cooked it on Thurs & it's now Mon, that's 4 days it was sat in the oven.

Straight in the bin!

He could get salmonella from something like this so I seriously hope that you are joking and not really thinking about it.

MidnightVelvettheSixth · 01/08/2016 18:16

I have a cast iron stomach & I wouldn't go anyway near that chicken!

Are we going to see your DH in the Angry People in Local Newspapers site clutching a roasted chicken in one hand & the sterile bag in the other, with a sadface Grin

I was thinking that it'd basically be like canned chicken - but there's no way you got it hot enough for that - so it's a no from me.

Lindsxxx · 01/08/2016 18:37

Dear god no!!!!!

clarehhh · 01/08/2016 18:38

Can't believe you would even contemplate this two people have died of ecoli this year.Wouldn't risk giving to my dog.

EvansAndThePrince · 01/08/2016 18:41

Oh dear god I hope he's not eaten it for lunch today too!

Onenerfwarfrombreakdown · 01/08/2016 19:02

He could still be very unwell ! Can take about 2/3 days sometimes.

DoubleCarrick · 01/08/2016 19:05

Hope dh is ok op!

coconutpie · 01/08/2016 19:19

WTF.

worrierandwine · 01/08/2016 19:45

So this thread has entertained and horrified me for the past 20 mins or so. I'm emetophobic and an absolute nut case about the spread of germs. I'm scared of ever eating chicken again now Shock I'm hoping DH is okay OP and am actually rather envious of his blasé approach to it all. Something new I have learned though, just to make me MORE paranoid is that you can catch food poisoning! I always figured if it was something you digested you couldn't infect anyone else. I had campylobacter as a teen and was shitting every 45 mins for a week but was ill for 2 weeks with it, I'm convinced that's why I have IBS now!

Clairewev · 01/08/2016 19:47

Pha ha ha ha ... Yea go for it! Waste no want not! Lol

But... Why didn't you eat it on Friday? my hubs would never forget food lol

Sleepybunny · 01/08/2016 19:58

Houston, we have diarrhoea!

Apparently it has nothing to do with the chicken. It was the Thai food he had for lunch!?

He's taken an Imodium and washed it down with a beer. What did I do to deserve this prize specimen??

Oh yeah and a bad pint Confused.

Chippednailvarnishing · 01/08/2016 20:02

I'd be sprinkling chilli powder on the loo roll, but I'm nice like that...

StealthPolarBear · 01/08/2016 20:02

Ah. Did anyone else have the thai food?

lovealookabout · 01/08/2016 20:03

This thread is utter gold- DH is a pillock. OP is not responsible for her husbands decisions. I hear there's an offer on sense of humours if anyone needs one!

lovealookabout · 01/08/2016 20:04

Cancel the cheque

Satishouse · 01/08/2016 20:04

This is like something from Dumb Ways To Die

tattoosandteadresses · 01/08/2016 20:08

Also remember the thread about the woman who was fed off chicken by her neighbour, was a day or two before the illness hit afair. My ex once ate sausages that had been sitting out for a few days and was sick as a dog. I'd chance sausages over chicken any day too.

He could well be in for a nasty night ahead op.

Sleepybunny · 01/08/2016 20:09

Cancel the cheque Grin I was waiting for a LTB. Although i'm seriously considering that now, at least on a temporary basis, in case we catch whatever strain he'll now be harbouring.

He's says the Thai food was really spicy and its caught up with him.

Don't let him take any more Immodium, for God's sake. If there is a hint of infective diarrhoea it will let those bugs linger and cause even more damage. Like I said before, it'll be the final nail in his the coffin. We could all sit here and let you tell us which organ system gets knocked off first and then which will follow. I'm not bloody joking.
Stop playing chicken with the chicken. 😝
Please!

alialiath · 01/08/2016 20:12

It would be cheaper buying a fresh chicken,than paying for a funeral for your
DH.
