I have the most stupid DH on MN

DH cooked dinner tonight and had some sausages on his plate along with dinner. I commented on how strong they smelled and asked where he got them. He laughed and said “from the bin”.
Last night I was checking the fridge and at the back found a pack of leek sausages dated April 1st...the pack had swelled right up and bubbles were oozing out the side, so I threw them out. These are what he’s just eaten!
Now he burping away and I can’t believe he’s that thick!
AIBU to make him sleep with a bucket tonight Angry

Oh my life. My dh is pretty much lax about dates and goes by eye/nose but blown packet combined with oozing and smell, he'd have known that's them done. Let alone taking them out of A BIN!

Also, I worked for a meat department and blown packaging(when it's puffed up and solid to touch) was an immediate bin job. Not even reduced because it's no longer free from contamination.

I'd not like to be him tomorrow. A dodgy fish got me 6 hours later. Felt fine jn the hours after eating it.

To clarify the bacteria that makes us sick, starts to grow after three hours unrefrigerated. The longer they are unrefrigerated the more it grows. You take into account on top of this these were out of date, slimey and rhe smell was unusually strong, there is no way this man will be fine.

He won't know for one or two days, but the odds of him not being very ill indeed are remote.

I just can't understand why someone would do it. What so they weren't wasting a couple of quid? That's a fucked up,as it gets.

Bluntness100 · 06/04/2018 22:31

Pork differs from fish, pork will not get him till 24 to 48 hours later. Unless it's so rancid his body rejects it and he pukes it up. As that's not happened, he just has to wait.

As said he should go make himself vomit his stomach contents out.

calmandbright · 06/04/2018 22:31

Place marking for the vom update! What a plank!!!

igglewhat · 06/04/2018 22:31

Oh Christ, wtf made him take them out of the bin! Men!

Cagliostro · 06/04/2018 22:33

Bumtrust has to make it into the next edition of the OED. That’s genius.

Not at all marking place for vomit updates.

Ryder63 · 06/04/2018 22:33

Even if it's just the leeks that are off - the fart stench! Envy (not envy Grin)

(Also, sooo stealing bumtrust Grin)

AlmostAJillSandwich · 06/04/2018 22:34

outabout is that Surstromming you're talking about?

Snowysky20009 · 06/04/2018 22:34

Most food poisoning occurs 12-36 hours after consuming, depending on the bacteria. So if he's ok in the morning don't assume he's gonna stay that way!

ivegotnostrings · 06/04/2018 22:35

no words

hawleybits · 06/04/2018 22:38

It's not looking good for your DH. I'll be back to check on him in the morning. I'm rubbish with vomiting 🤢

CheshireChat · 06/04/2018 22:39

I was about to say that if you're willing to talk to him like that then you're better off separated... I've changed my mind!

Seriously though, I'm not sure I could stay with someone that does that, I mean imagine kissing him Envy.

I do get queasy from nothing and can get food poisoning from imagining something is off.

ilovepixie · 06/04/2018 22:39

I have a picture in my mind of your DH looking like Homer Simpson, peering into the bin and exclaiming "oooo sausages!!"

I'm betting 50p he's going to be absolutely Fine and have no ill effects whatsoever.

gildashairflick · 06/04/2018 22:42

I once got salmonella from some salmon pate the day after the use by date. OH said 'it doesn't go off at midnight', famous last words! I was so ill, temp over 40, rigours, double end evacuation, in bed for days would have chose death in a heartbeat. OH ate the same, in fact more. Not even a sloppy poo to show for it Hmm

InBlackwaterWoods · 06/04/2018 22:42

Well, your DH wins the most stupid DH on MN, hands down!

Not placemarking for 'shit tsunami' update!!

He'll be looking for sympathy whilst evacuation is underway!
Nope!

CuppaTeaAndAJammieDodger · 06/04/2018 22:42

What a complete pillock - good luck OP 🤢🤮

Calatonia · 06/04/2018 22:43

OMG.... just been to read the fat ball thread and that had me quite literally dry retching.... but it was worth it for the hysterical giggles.
My DH is a bit lax on (food) hygiene but he's a complete amateur compared to Magicstar's.

AmazingGrace16 · 06/04/2018 22:45

I'm fascinated by this!!! do update us op!

outabout · 06/04/2018 22:46

@AlmostAJillSandwich
Could well be. A Norwegian friend was telling me about them around 25 years ago. I think I was offered some but declined, not least because I don't like fish much. The alcohol on offer was excellent however!

angelikacpickles · 06/04/2018 22:47

@bluescreen Why would you be particularly concerned about use by dates on hummus?

Medwaymumoffour · 06/04/2018 22:48

I bet he doesn’t get ill. Some people who the worst hygiene have the best immunity. But that is so gross all the same

Bluntness100 · 06/04/2018 22:49

I just can't imagine why anyone would take rsausages out the bin that had been there all night, then keep them in your lunch box all day, then reheat them and eat them that night. It's genuinely turning my stomach just the thought of it.

Even the thought of the op sitting there and being able to smell them on his dinner plate makes me feel queasy.

There is tight with money and there is "fuck me, really?".
