About food poisoning?

I've come down with terrible food poisoning, whilst DH seems perfectly fine.

He cooked dinner, but burned some of the food, so didn't eat any of that part and told me to throw it away.

I cut the burnt edges off and started to eat, but it didn't taste good.

Once I'd eaten some, he revealed that it was actually out of date.

He thinks that because he told me not to eat it (despite cooking it!) this should have been enough warning and it's my own fault I'm ill.

I think that he needed to say the food he was planning to serve was actually a week out of date (not just letting me see he'd burned it), so how was I to know?

Who's being unreasonable?

What was the food?

He told you to throw it away because it was burnt, not because it was out of date. Obviously it's his fault. If he'd told you it was out of date and you'd eaten it anyway, it would be your fault.

What was the food? Did it smell off before he cooked it.

Terrible food poisoning? You wouldn't be well enough to post on here.

He lied about why you shouldn’t eat it which meant you couldn’t make an informed choice.

Why the fuck was he cooking with something a week out of date anyway? I assume we’re not talking something innocuous like dried pasta?

What was the food?? Something like chicken?

He was being vvvvv U not to tell you the food was out of date. He should have told you and allowed you to choose whether or not to eat it.

That's horrible. Hope you feel better soon.

I wouldn't have thrown burnt food away either if part was salvageable.

What possessed him to cook with it

FFS, A week out of date?? What was it? If it was chicken or fish or dairy I’d be worried, a vegetable not so much.

It was pork chops and he says he they looked and smelled fine, but he knew they were a 'couple of days' past their date.

We (I) ate them two nights ago and I'm just starting to feel human again. I've checked the recycling and the best before date was 03/02.

Is he trying to kill you?

Pork?Shock

I dont even eat pork or chicken less than 2 days from the use by let alone a week after...

Wtf was he thinking

FFSAllTheGoodOnesArereadyTaken · 13/02/2021 11:18

It's his fault. He told you not to eat them but the vast majority of people would have taken that to mean because they were burnt. Not because he was cooking meat a week past use by. Why on earth would you have guessed that he meant 'because it's actually off'...the fact he cooked it kind of implies it's not actually rancid
