To potentially make DH very ill?

[Sleepybunny]

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.

Answers on a postcard

If nothing has happened yet I think he'll be fine. Why on earth is the chicken still in the fridge?

I would be angry he is endangering his children's health and potentially life for a laugh. If they catch this shit they will really suffer.

I would at that point be just as angry as if he had given them alcohol for a thrill or let them play near a road because he doesn't believe in cars. They suffer, his fault. This can be life threatening as mentioned several times on the thread.

MrsHardy1, he's got diarrhoea.

He's got the squits and the chicken was thrown out.

All the op has to do now is cancel the cheque.

Oh thank god someone else is a purse mouthed grumpy fucker pax I was worried it was just me

Seriously though, I have a fucked immune system so it really would worry me that DH would be so cavalier with his family's health not just his, if whatever he has could be passed on.

lunch would not go through that quickly...

That feeling of impotent rage about something some stranger whose wife is on the internet did...

OP I really think that first thing tomorrow you should cancel the cheque.

Can you pass on food poisoning?! I never knew that!

Do you think you could cancel the cheque? Maybe bin the chicken then call 101 to have it logged.

I'm now humming "Stuff a chicken in your gob, Shove a cheque book up your arse" * to the tune of Spitting Image's Chicken Song. Time I went to bed I think.

Gabilan I have that on my iPod. And the 'b' side!!

Well, it is that time of year, Tatty, when those two wet gis, with their girlie curlie hair ...

Gits, not gis, now I just sound drunk

Oh dear, it's definitely not the Thai food. Unless said establishment also serves weekend old chicken.

Really hope hes okay OP and the numpty only had a mild case of the squits.

I also second the no Imodium thing. As gross as it sounds - better out than in. 😷

OP, I think you and DC should relocate 100 miles away from DH, just until he's better and has deep cleaned the house.

A bit shocked that some people don't know you can pass on food poisoning. It's passed on like any d+v illness, you are pooping and puking out the bacteria that caused it, and so the potential for them to (sorry) spray further afield than the toilet bowl is pretty high. The whole bathroom needs bleaching down twice a day minimum Imo, and I always have the details spray on and leave to evaporate disinfectant for toilet seats, flushes and door handles (EVERY DOOR HANDLE ABD LIGHT SWITCH AND TAP ETC IN THE HOUSE, AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE, HOURLY IN MY HOUSE IF THERES AN ILLNESS) whoops caps for some reason there... He needs to have shit hot hand hygiene and sorry, you need to bin everything in the fridge and scrub it out with bleach or something because that chicken will have been teeming with bugs that WILL have spread across everything in there. Remote controls and phones are also important to keep clean when there's d+v, most people forget them and they are always in hand Not to mention the men who take them to the toilet with them while pooping

hold a chicken in the air, shove a deckchair up your nose, fly a jumbo jet and bury all your clothes

I am not over 40!

I hope your dh recovers soon, sounds like its going to be a long night. Best of luck to you, and hope you have 2 bathrooms. Sorry this happened.

Jesus. This sounds like something my DDad would have done. Regularly eating very old and questionable food from the fridge, refreezing stuff... I am by no means wedded to use-by dates etc but still!

Gabilan, you mean over 30s!

I'm as relaxed as it gets and have eaten some VERY iffy things but no way in hell can you eat a chicken which has been sat at a bacteria-friendly temperature for several days

I think Op's disappeared but I suspect she's ... busy ...

This is annoying me. Yes I am being unreasonable but I feel the op is trying to make her DH sound like a bit of a buffoon when actually he sounds like a complete dick.

I am so definitely NOT placemarking

"I'm suggesting that contamination by bacteria might be slower than if it wasn't in a bag. Therefore lower bacterial load in chicken = improved chances of recoverable food poisoning rather than death."

Alternatively, you could consider that being in a bag traps the warm air, slowing the cooling of the chicken, resulting in a longer period of time in the danger zone where bacteria prolifically multiply. Bacteria enjoy moist environs, which the bag will help to maintain.

The bag is not your friend in this situation.
