How long you keep Chinese in the fridge?

[MonstranceClock]

Ordered it on Friday night, ended up having to go away and due back tonight. It will still be ok tonight won’t it? I don’t want to go food shopping. Aibu to eat old Chinese?!

@Mominatrix why are you turning a causal thread about reheating a Chinese takeaway into a thread about racism?
Nothing detrimental about race has been said on this thread.

Even the Chinese takeaway from my village call it a Chinese takeaway, not a Chinese style food takeaway.

I wpuld eat it without thinking twice. Including reheated rice I am invincible (knocks on wood)

Wtf is up with dragging racism into food thread? Is nothing sacred anymore?🙄

Some people just look for it don't they

I feel so sorry for OP who only wanted to know if she would be ok to eat her fucking food. She's probably gone off the idea now thanks to some.

@rainbowconfetti maybe they are envious of OP having that food in a fridge😁 I know I am. Fancy some chinese now.

Cooked rice grows a toxin and should not be eaten more than one day later. Supermarket rice is super steamed first so is less of a problem. I would not eat a chinese meal more than 24 hours later you have no access to their kitchen to know enough about the prep and storage etc. Home cooked food is in your control

@QRCode I find your post very offensive. That would never have even occurred to me. Disgusting

@Vilanelle

It's awful, isn't it?

I reported it but 🤷‍♀️

we always order more to have over the weekend too! I’d say Sunday night is the line for me!

And only food crossed my mind when reading your thread title 🤦🏼‍♀️

I'd not keep takeaway rice for more than 1 day, & only then if I'd cooled it quickly - I always serve out what I want & immediately cool the rest quickly, same with any dish with prawns. I'm pretty lax with most other foods TBH, but rice & prawns are tricky. Especially if they've come from a takeaway, you don't know how long they were kept hot, nor how hot.

Home cooked food, I'm a "keep it till it's done" kind of person. Very lazy. But I also cool saucepans of leftovers etc in a bowl of water so they can go quickly into the fridge.

I am reminded of an Indian friend of mine who came into work one day grinning, telling me she and her family had "had an English last night". We were in India at the time. She had made a vegetable lasagne - which isn't even English Obviously I pulled her up on her casual racism.

(I did not do that because what she said was not, in the least bit, offensive).

Offence requires a taker, as well as a giver.

Eat the food, OP!

Just heat it up properly

Jesus QRCode, it's one thing having a mind that works that way, but admitting to it in public and then suggesting the OP get the thread title changed because of it, is quite something else

If Jimmy Carr gets wind of this thread he'll be working it into his next routine...

Tbf @malmi who wouldn't 🤷

Because it is not just a casual thread - it is casually racist. The fact that the vast majority of you can't see this is indicative of the deep seeded racism which exists in this country. The fact that none of you can see how offensive these sorts of statements does not nullify the fact that it is casually racist.

There is nothing racist about asking if you can reheat your food after 2 days

I read your thread title and thought it was in poor taste after recent events with the 39 people who died in a refrigerated lorry. Could you perhaps get it edited to add the word 'food'?

Oh give over 🙄

Oh and in answer to the OP,yes I'd eat it.

What's wrong with people? It's a thread about food not racism.

This thread is

Have to say though, reheated squid is going to be foul and have the texture of an old tyre !

What happened this weekend? There was a thread which started with missing father and ended with German donner and now we have chinese takeaway thread ending with racism claims😳
I loved the first one. Not quite same feelings about this one...

Poor OP🙄

@Mominatrix are you Chinese?

There is nothing racist about asking if you can reheat your food after 2 days hmm

Then the title of the thread should say "How long will leftover Chinese food keep..."

Simple, no hmmm required.

No, I am not Chinese, but to you lot I would be Chinese. I am of East Asian descent with parents who lived through the brutality of the Japanese in WWII and through the Chinese influence in North Korea in the Korean War.

@mominatrix are you ok? Are you having a bad day? Do you want to talk about it?
