To be annoyed she fed us out of date mince?

[QuestionableMouse]

Just had tea at my friend's. She cooked a pasta bake which was nice, then on the way out (leaving through the kitchen) she picked the mince packet up and laughed. Asked what was funny and she said "oh, this should have been used yesterday!"

I'm a bit annoyed with her, because I've been having stomach troubles (currently being investigated for an ulcer and IBS type symptoms) and as a result I'm pretty careful with what I eat. I'd never use mince past its date either.

Have loads planned for the next few days too so I'm really hoping it doesn't disagree with me!

Is it possible you stomach issues are triggered by anxiety OP? That's not sarcasm at all, genuinely, it can be a big factor

🤣🤣🤣

Actually, although I’d eat out of date meat myself I probably wouldn’t serve it to a guest. Although if I did by mistake I wouldn’t tell them 😀 Hope you’re ok OP.

I've been feeling crap all day unfortunately. Stomach is very unhappy with me and I keep feeling very sick 😣😣😣 Also keep burping and getting a nasty greasy taste in my mouth.

Not sure if it was the mince in general (I rarely eat it), the small bit of tomato I had or what but I feel like I'm back to how I was weeks ago. 😭😭😭

Sorry but I don't think one day past date meat that seemingly tasted ok would have that effect on you. The after taste could be poor cooking (too much fat) or possibly even psychosomatic?

I suspect that's your anxiety talking.

I'm sorry OP, but that's your mind, not your stomach.

Beef and pork mince should be fine. If it's poultry I'd be concerned. A sniff/visual inspection should be enough.

It wasn't the one day old mince 🙄

If only I'd posted when I predicted this was going to be your next post.... go to a&e immediately, it's definitely food poisoning!

Anyone else unwell? Just you?

Oh FFS get a grip! A and E aren't going to be able to do anything after one day. This is why A and E is so busy. Just relax, have plenty of water and stop bloody worrying about a bit of mince that's only a few hours out of date and chances are you'll be fine.

🤣 I don't think that poster was serious

Yeah it's the anxiety (or hypochondria but that sounds a bit harsh).

If there was pasta bake what else was in it? Onion? Garlic? Other seasonings? All much more likely to cause you bother than well cooked mince.

Sorry sometimes you miss the nuances on paper...I really hope they weren't being serious 🤣

@Ahurricaneofjacarandas oh FFS! I was being sarcastic! Of course the OP hasn't got food poisoning, of course when everyone said she was BU, she was going to come back and say "I'm sick", I told you so!

She even said I don't want a tummy bug, you don't get a tummy bug from food, if anything you get food poisoning.

The thread didn't go now she wanted, so she's ramped it up.

Not anxiety, unfortunately- I woke up with really bad reflux 😣

Don't think I said I had food poisoning, just that I felt rough today and I'm not sure what caused it.

Oh right! What do you think caused it?

I said the mince in general. Not blaming the date, just it being mince as it has caused me problems in the past.

I'm guessing it was a combination of the tomatoes and the fat from the mince.

One day out of date?! Lol!!!

Oh stop it op, you are not sick because of the bloody dinner. You have done this to yourself. I say that as someone with anxiety.

@QuestionableMouse then why do you eat mince then?

I don't, in general. First time I've eaten mince since probably Christmas time 😣

If you have Time BS could it be the pasta? Or the onions and garlic? DD has severe IBS and these things are disastrous for her.

Wtf is time BS?! IBS obvs.

So why don't you tell people your dietary needs?
