Is this curry still ok to eat?

[cobysstepmummy]

Made a chicken madras using pataks paste on Tuesday the left overs have been in the fridge since Tuesday evening would it still be ok to eat tonight?

Four days is pushing it for cooked chicken even if it has been kept chilled.

I'd sniff it/taste a tiny bit to check.

Next time, freeze it :)

According to this, cooked chicken can be kept for 3-4 days so should be OK although I don't know if I would risk it personally!

I know BertieBotts ment to eat it thursday night
It smells fine will heat a little and taste before I serve it to hubby

Thanks tramadol

I always do that hence, freeze just in case. You can always microwave it even the next day or so.

My rule is, if you have to ask, the answer is likely to be no.

My rule is if it's not growing mould then it's worth a sniff test. I also slice the mouldy bits of bread off and eat the rest if we have no more in

I really hate wasting food.

The trouble with spiced food is that, if the meat is off, you won't be able to do a sniff test....

Going against the general response here - am sure the chicken is absolutely fine.

It wouldn't even occur to me to be concerned about it. We all waste ridiculous amounts of food by unnecessarily throwing stuff out. It drives me a bit mad to be honest. Our parents' generation survived without refrigeration. And spices help to preserve meats.

A rule like 'if you have to ask, the answer is likely to be no', just adds to the mountains of food we waste day by day.

We didn't risk it in the end as I tasted and couldn't be certain that it was ok so the local Chinese saved the day
Thank you for your advice though I wouldn't normally have asked but I thought 4 days may have been pushing it!
