To re-heat 4 day old takeaway?

[Wheninfrome]

I'd just like a quick poll on whether IABU or not because I really fancy popping the leftover Chinese food in the oven that we ordered on Friday. I normally have a cast iron stomach so I'd have no problem but DH is less keen.
Opinions welcome

There is some hysteria methinks regarding my luscious reheated Chinese food.

Special chow mien (no rice)
King prawn & cashew nuts (no rice)
Special fried rice (admittedly this dish did contain rice (no shit Sherlock) but I hand picked all the tasty meaty bits out so only a few grains of hemlock rice remained so I could add it all to the one delicious pot of Chinese take oot re-loaded

I think OP will be fine, but placemaking anyway to see if she survives.

4 day old prawns FS you dirty bugger 😂😂

Good night op. Hope you don't gets a bad case of the squirts during the night/ early morning

Personally if I ate that I'd be properly buggered, and I'm pretty lax with leftovers. (If I'd cooked it myself, rice included, I'd definitely eat it!) However, I reckon that some people do have more cast iron stomachs than us mere mortals. My pil eat food that is practically crawling across the table of its own accord (8-day-old turkey leftovers at Xmas stored on the bone in a not-very-cold-larder ). They haven't had food poisoning in decades. I have a theory that a lot of people are as careful with food storage as their stomach allows! So OP you'll probably be fine . Though do let us know that you are still alive in a few days, all the same...

The hysteria on here about leftovers bemuses me. I think that would be fine. I'd give the rice a miss. I always bin uneaten rice from the takeaway but I'd eat Indian takeaway 3-4 days out of the fridge. In fact I often eat them cold as the flavours taste better to me that way especially chicken dhansak yum !

Respect OP, you’re hardcore

Good God no 🤢

MN at its finest

Like the old days

I love a reheated curry for breakfast or leftover pizza with extra cheese and hot sauce... But even I would draw the line at this! I hate food waste but that combination of meat/fish/rice after four days would finish me off

If you survive, your iron stomach will become the stuff of legends

I once swept ants off a pizza and ate it for breakfast but I was young and stupid, and also still drunk from the night before.
I clearly didn't die though sooooo...

I would eat it at 4 days if it were food I'd cooked and refrigerated immediately but a takeaway? No. Just, no.

And then I saw it contained prawns as well.

I'm sorry I didn't manage to find this thread sooner with the number for The Samaritans.

Actually, no, sorry. Even if you do post again saying you were fine, I'm not going to believe it was you. It's just the former you having an Out Of Botty experience.

Ugh

I hope you're ok OP, but wasn't it all congealed and ripe smelling when you opened the storage container?

Did you really just mix it all up and throw it in the oven in one dish?

This is Russian Poolet.

Sorry for the multi-posts but I'm horrified and I've got a yoghurt in the fridge from months ago that I haven't ruled out on the basis it hasn't exploded yet.

You dead yet OP?

Eagerly waits update from op.

Are you the poo troll playing the long game?

@managedmis. There have been a few threads recently I've thought 'its like the old days'.

Wondering if OP has WiFi in loo as v quiet today or dead.

Morning!

I'm here in fine fettle and not remotely dead. Had to get up once in the night for a pee and to let the dog out (not a euphemism) but no dram at chez Frome

Yay! Three cheers for OP and her cast iron stomach. And three cheers for the Chinese takeaway of Frome which obviously uses fairly fresh ingredients. I would totally have eaten 4 day old takeaway myself but I'm veggie so no meat or fish to worry about. Personally more of a curry girl and if I find myself in need of a takeaway in that neck of the woods there is a great Indian in Bradford on Avon.

Yay! Cast iron indeed 💪

let the dog out

I can believe the hysteria on this thread of people who are so shocked at how ‘disgusting’ the OP is. It’s food in the fridge for four days properly reheated!! Blimey - get a grip!!

Wow, glad you enjoyed your Chinese and you're not dead

Is it wrong that I'm slightly disappointed?

Have you checked on your DH?
