AIBU to eat the dinner I left out accidentally overnight?

[WattThreeWords]

Gnocchi bake. Gnocchi, pepper, olive oil, tomatoes.

Out of oven 8pm. Realised at 6.30am I hadn’t put in fridge, so put it back then.

AIBU to heat it up for dinner tonight?

YABU - it’s full of toxins and you’re going to thrown your guts up

YANBU - don’t waste that delicious dinner. Heat it up and enjoy

No way would I. But my Mum lived to the ripe old age of 89 and would often leave a left over Sunday roast dinner she'd plated up for the next day out overnight, or in the bottom of the oven. That's what they did in those days.

I'd eat it. I left cottage pie out overnight and ate that. Do it all the time tbh.
Never get poorly.
It's not exactly hot at night is it.

Edit- just make sure its properly heated through.

For breakfast I ate the salmon I found from last night in the air fryer

goodbye

It was nice to meet you......😉

@wattthreewords how is the digestive system this morning, any consequences?

I'd eat it with no hesitation. Just reheat it thoroughly.

Was it uncovered?
Was it left in a warm or cold place?

As long as it didn’t smell or look spoiled I would eat it.

I would eat it.

Disclaimer: I am an absolute trash panda with scant regard for use-by dates/things being left out/eating leftovers that have been in the fridge way too long. I have had food poisoning.

Are you still alive and well today? 🙈

Oh you're hardcore, Respect.

I would eat that.

so far, so good….still 48 hours or so before I can relax though 🫣

It always winds me up on these kinds of threads (and in real life) when people say ‘if it looks and smells ok’ then it’s fine to eat. You can’t see or smell the bacteria that potentially cause food poisoning.

Going by look, feel and smell is appropriate is some situations, like when when trying to decide if a raw potato is still ok to use or if a loaf of bread is past its best. It’s not going to tell you anything about a cooked dish that’s been left at room temperature for longer than the ‘safe window’.

36 hours in and I’m still alive and kicking 🙌

I love that you're wound up by this 😂
