To think I have given us all food poisoning?!

[choccywoccywoowah]

Cooked some Tesco vacuum packed smoked haddock with a cheese sauce for tea tonight - myself, OH and dc. Smelt a bit pissy on opening, but whatever - never had this particular fish before and the smell was not exactly overpowering. I assumed that OH had defrosted it the night before as he usually pulls something out of the freezer before he goes to bed.

Tasted fine. Until he informed me that it had been defrosted over a week ago! It was also dated 23rd of March. I never bother about use by dates if something has been frozen, but having been defrosted for a WEEK?!

Also after a quick Google, it appears fish smelling of ammonia should definitely be avoided.... and something about smoked fish being one of the worst culprits for FP.

OH thinks I am worrying unnecessarily. This is probably a rare AIBU in that I hope I am swiftly told that IABU...

In the case that I am not being unreasonable, any tips on mitigating this fishy crisis?

Why on earth would you eat pissy smelling fish?!

YABU
You haven't given anyone food poisoning
But he might have.

I hope it's all okay.

mumofthemonsters808: In my experience food poisoning tends to strike when you least expect it. I've never had it off something iffy, it's always come when I've eaten something I thought was fine.Its always come rapidly too, I hope you're all ok, it can be an horrendous experience.

Ain't that the truth. Fucking mushroom tagliatelle. I have never in my life been so sick, nor wished I could kill myself with the power of thought alone so much as during the forty-eight hours after eating that. Worst food poisoning of my life. I can't even stand the smell of mushroom pasta now without almost retching.

Well that sounds appetising, fish with a hint of piss. Surely anyone with an ounce of sense would of stopped and checked at that point?

How are you all this morning? or (not envy)

Renaissance OP said it wasn't overpowering and she's not had the product before

How are you feeling this morning OP?

Chances are that you'll be fine. Most of the time people are fine from food- especially if they have semi decent immune systems. Try not to dwell on it as you could make it all worse. In about 12-24 hours I guess you'll know for sure!

Hope you're all ok Op.

OP what's he verdict? Has your DH poisoned you all?!

She's definately not been back as she's dealing with two projectile vomiting kids whilst doing the same herself! Yikes!

I really want to know what happened - am worrying for the OP!

Hope you're ok!

Hope everything's okay OP

I'm baffled that you managed to get 2 and 4 year olds to eat smoked haddock!

Hope you're all okay anyway!

Oh no...

How are you OP??

OP! Come back! We all need to know!

(I fear you'll have been struck down with it, doesn't sound like you could avoid it to me)

Crapuccino how did you get food poisoning from mushroom pasta

I don't know. One other person had the same tagliatelle too and also came down with the same apocalyptic D&V/cold sweats/wishing for death that I did, otherwise I wouldn't have believed it. We wondered afterwards whether a poisonous mushroom had somehow got caught up in the crop because our reactions were so bad but since all the evidence had long since gone down the toilet and all over the carpet, and into buckets there wasn't any way to find out.

Maybe it was off cream or something rather than the mushrooms?

My mum once had horrendous food poisoning from a mushroom which had come from a tin. Apparently it's a fairly common way to get food poisoning from mushrooms. I can't remember what it is but it has a specific name.... anyway, she never orders food with mushrooms in now, unless she can be sure they used fresh ones.

Oh no where's the OP???
