To eat a spaghetti bolognese made last week?

[Fragglewump]

I made a huge batch of spaghetti bolognese last Thursday and meant to eat/freeze it but other things got in the way. Will we be ill if we eat it?

Unless there are signs of spoilage it will be fine. So if it smells funny etc. Make sure you boil the sauce well before serving. Should be fine...

I'm pretty lax but no. I struggle to think of anything I'd eat cooked a week ago!

Eurgh..... no!

Hmmm - I’m not bothered either way just wondering what to do with it - it’s looking at me!

Personally, no I wouldn't.

Ew no way, not from Thursday unless it's been frozen.

Food cooked from Saturday or before would be a no. Cooked from Monday onwards I would eat as long as covered and chilled.

Food cooked on Sunday would be a judgement call, depending on what it was and how hungry I was ...but just for me, not the dc.

If it's been refrigerated I'd eat it - but not if it's been left out in a warm kitchen for six days.

Not unless you don't mind risking food poisioning.

If in doubt, chuck it out

Ew - even I wouldn’t leave it out of the fridge in a warm kitchen for 6 days and I’m a bit —reckless— relaxed about food and best before dates etc......that’s why I thought I’d get another opinion.

Strike through fail on reckless! How the chuff do you do it?

I’d eat it.

Our fridge is excellent though and nothing ever goes off in there.

I wouldn't, but more because the consistency of the sauce will be shot after being refrigerated that long, rather than worrying about food poisonong...

I would eat it.

Put it in the bin and make another one, no no no. That said FIL who is a retired GP, ate a week Lasagna, we waited with baited breath in case he got I'll, but no he was fine. It had been in the fridge.

I would. I used to regularly leave a massive pot of ragu on the stove and just eat it over the course of a week.

Not sure how being refrigerated changes the texture of a meat sauce you're going to nuke anyway

I’m feeling quite pleased that other people would chance it......not so lonely and dirty!

My DS are some ham sandwiches that had been lurking in his warm, smelly school bag for 3 full days without my knowledge.
Obviously I freaked out, and was preparing for the inevitable fountains of puke. It didn't happen, couldn't actually believe it.

Ate not are!

“Candlelight” I bet no-one thought you had a ham sandwich for a son!

Give it a sniff.

I ate chilli last night which had been in the fridge since Friday, and made with mince which was a day or two past its best before date. It smelled and tasted absolutely fine and I haven't been ill.

Don't put a space between your hyphens and the words

Pease porridge hot
Pease porridge cold
Pease porridge in the pot, nine days old

Check for signs of spoilage, if there are none I would say it's fine.

Yes, I would.
