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

Okay I need to know:

1. Am I in anyway liable if he drops dead?

2. Can I use this thread as evidence that I was against the idea?

3. Do I demand he sleeps outside with a bucket or two or drop him at A&E now?

No
Yes
Yes

I think

Please chuck it. You have to be really careful with chicken. It's not worth taking the risk.

It's not just the risk of food poisoning. Some chicken contains nasty bugs which can kill people FFS.

Who are you idiot people even thinking of this?!

Please keep us updated!

I would of risked a nibble myself but i wouldn't of fed it to anyone else.

no way!

but he is soooo unreasonable about his socks.

Agree with using the dog as a minging food detector, he's partial to a bit of rabbit shit and has been known to lick the arses of doggy companions.

I'm going to be spamming F5 all night now

Oh, sorry. I just saw your post which said he'd eaten it. In which case, he'll probably be fine. gulps

A food poisoning, biologist type person once told me that if you eat something dodgy, you should drink alcohol afterwards to kill the bacteria. I don't accept any responsibility for this opinion, however.

I hope he's ok.

But what about the bacteria already in there?
They are killed by the oven heat if it is cooked properly in the first place.

I wouldn't eat it if someone paid me, and I'm pretty relaxed about this sort of thing (I ate some very elderly bacon which had been in the fridge for far too long this morning!)

How long until he would likely show symptoms?

I'm swinging between blind panic and getting a bowl of popcorn and watching him.

I roasted a chicken one Sunday
I found it in the oven the following Sunday
I did not eat it

I wouldn't ask the cat either to be honest. They've evolved to hide carcasses for several days and chew on them as and when, so they have very strong stomach acid. Well tigers do. I'm not so sure about the moggy on my lap but she eats supermarket own brand cat food and it smells rank.

Could shove the socks up his arse I suppose.

Overnight, maybe even Saturday as in a sealed oven it would stay reasonably cool after the oven is off, but not three days!

I wouldn't eat chicken left out overnight never mind 3 days. Unless maybe I lived in Siberia or something.

Anyway, blatant place marking here!

if he hasnt started vomiting within the next 12hrs hes probably ok, but give it 48 to be 100% sure.

But really, why did you even let him eat it? i would have hoofed it directly into the bin!

I have to laugh. I am VERY lax but even I wouldn't eat it!

Having said that, he might well be absolutely fine. Good luck [grin[

I am expecting OP to return with her DH having had volcanic shits..

Not all bacteria are killed by cooking.

Plus neither a paper bag nor an oven door make true seals at a bacterial level.

Eeew. Make him sleep on a tarp tonight.

ftr, ive HAD food poisoning from chicken, i ended up in hospital being given an anti-sickness drug, and couldnt eat properly for months.

He is a fucking idiot.

Are they thick socks?

I'm just place marking.
I'm extremely over cautious when it comes to sell your dates etc. But even my 8yr old would no not to eat that chicken
