AIBU to eat this Christmas food??

[Littlelapwing]

Did a big shop yesterday and got EVERYTHING - huge turkey, all the meat blah blah blah.
It wouldn’t fit in the fridge, so when I unloaded yesterday afternoon I turned on the garage fridge and left it to cool. I put it all the food together in a closed cool bag and left it in a cold shed.

I then forgot all about it until 9 this morning.

It’s still cold to touch. I can’t afford more it cost nearly £150 with the turkey. I doubt I’d even get it all again, the shops will be rammed.

Would you still eat it!? So far it’s a unanimous yes from everyone I’ve asked in person.

YABU - I wouldn’t eat the food
YANBU - eat the food

Thanks!

I’d eat it. Especially if you’re in the UK where it was fridge temperature overnight last night.

It was 4 degrees here last night, same temperature as a fridge. So yeah I'd say it's perfectly fine.

Why would you not eat it?
It'll have been really cold overnight in the garage.

Yeah I'd eat that with no worries at all.

It’s almost freezing over night now so I really wouldn’t worry about this and would definitely eat it. Don’t forget that 70 years ago fridges didn’t exist, people survived.

We always keep our turkey in the garage!

Absolutely useless you're going to drop in that you live in Dubai for somewhere equally warm 😂

It will be absolutely fine.

I'd eat it unless it was stinking when I opened it.

It will be fine if it's been in cold garage - we would.

My mum kept the turkey in the car for a day or two every year

We always keep our turkey in the garage as it doesn't fit in the fridge.

Why on earth would you not eat it?

Your garage would be the equivalent of a fridge last night

We were having a big party once and farmer friends of ours brought a slaughtered pig down that lived in our bath for two days until it was time to cook it. You'll be fine!

Thank you SO MUCH - I am a bit funny about off food, whereas my husband will eat 10 day out of date sausages and be fine, so if he says ‘it’s fine’ I don’t always just trust to that..! 😂
But also if I go ‘urgh yuck no!’ I can’t always trust to that either!

It will be fine. It will have been kept as if its in a walk in fridge if it was in your garage

It'll all be fine. Stop worrying.

I made a nigella pudding yesterday with double cream that got left in the boot of car for nearly 24 hours, we're all still alive, it's pretty cold out, eat the food.

I broke into six pints of milk that I'd left in the car overnight. It was really cold and absolutely fine.

Our fridge was broken for 2 weeks last week so we were keeping everything just in a cool bag outside and everything was absolutely fine. I'm a bit like you with not eating anything after use by dates etc but I would definitely still eat it
