so...i forgot to get meat out of freezer for sunday fathers day munchies....
popped to asda...grabbed a couple of chicken breasts(skin on) and when i opened them they stank!

They look fine...right colour etc.
i have had meat in past that states on the packet that there may be a smell on opening...

have put in oven...smells DELICIOUS now...just like normal...

however...can i rely on my nose...will we all get food poisoning!?

i find lots of chicken smells now. but it's ok once cooked

is it in date?

was it an awful, yucky smell?

Was it slimy when you took it out (icky slimy I mean, not just chicken slimy)?

i wouldnt cook it if it stinks

ClutterJunkie · 17/06/2007 16:46

no...a sweet almost oniony smell!!!!!

i did eat some....it tasted fine...but then i 'chickened out' (excuse the pun!) and didn't serve it up with the meal

i did check internet- all said salmonella killed with proper cooking...but if i am the only one ill tomorrow i will know it was bad- cos noone else had it!

a sweet, oniony smell is fine.

Twill be absolutely fine till Tuesday.

If it was off, it would have been disgustingly slimy and would have smelled awful - there would not have been a lot of doubt about it being off.

ah well...all been thrown away now!
(except for the bit i ate!)
