Ate a cheddar ploughman's sandwich that had been unrefrigerated overnight

[anonymous98]

No mayo.

A bit nervous. Has anyone else ever done this? Did you die?

yes

The ones that died are probably not going to answer…

You’ll be fine btw

I wouldn’t worry

Genuinely, if you really think that, please make a doctors appointment to discuss anxiety. Kindly, that is absolutely ridiculous.

Just cheese? Fine.
Pork pie? Death is imminent.

Calm down! Nothing nasty is going to happen to you. Honestly, it's not.

It's the homemade mayo from unvaccinated eggs that you need to worry about.

You'll probably be fine

Refrigerating cheese is a fairly recent phenomenon. Room temperature is fine unless you live somewheee very hot.

Best get your affairs in order. I reckon you'll be dead within the hour. (not really)

I'm exaggerating! I more mean "did you get food poisoning that made you long for death"?

Cheese, pickle, bread, butter, all best stored out of the fridge

Food poisoning from cheese?

Unrefrigerated cheese is a key staple of the DofE diet. You’ll be absolutely fine.

You'll be fine. All the ingredients I can think of are quite stable out of the fridge.

If it was a supermarket sandwich they're so full of preservatives it'd probably be safe for twice as long.

Last week I ate mozzarella that was 20 days over the “eat before” date. It was sealed, had been refrigerated the whole time and I was cooking it on a pizza anyway.

Was great!

I don’t keep cheese in the fridge, am still alive 🤷‍♀️

Surely a joke. I haven’t checked a Use by date in years. Still going strong.

What part of your cheese ploughmans are you worried about? Why would it give you food poisoning?

I have probably many times (without ill effect) eaten a cheese & pickle sandwich that had been festering in my hot car & kayak for 2+ days. One gets hungry & unfussy on the river.

I died. But I was alright the next day.

I know someone who ate a greggs sausage roll that had been sitting on the dashboard of a car for weeks. They didn't die.

It's a fucking cheese sandwich. Your understanding of food hygiene and nutrition does not appear to be the best.

The cheese is ok but don't eat the ploughman. Canabalism is so unattractive.

Your posts seem faint. I suspect you've already passed over to the next realm.

What do you think people did before domestic fridges?

Neither of my parents had a fridge at home growing up.

Cheese doesn’t need to be in the fridge anyway, and nor does pickle, bread or butter, so you’ll be grand.
