Would you eat nuked Chinese leftovers from the day before yesterday? I totally would before pregnancy but doubt I should now?? 11 weeks... Really want to eat it!

Meat, yes. Rice. No.

ProseccoMamam · 19/11/2017 20:04

If by nuked you mean microwaved then no

It will be chewy and bland

Just order a new Chinese

eurochick · 19/11/2017 20:04

I wouldn't pregnant or not.

WeShouldOpenABar · 19/11/2017 20:05

Never rice and I'm not fussy

mindutopia · 19/11/2017 20:06

Did it make you sick before? It won't make you any more sick now than it did before pregnancy, so if you would have done it then, I would do it now. But yes, definitely. I ate a cream filled pastry last week that last out of the fridge for 12 hours when it shouldn't have, then got refrigerated for another 4 days and was a day out of date. It smelled and tasted fine, so it seemed fine enough to eat.

Rice,never and I once read about a chef who would never eat beansprouts because they're grown in warm water,and so are full of bacteria and it completely put me off them!

AyeWhySwim · 19/11/2017 20:07

I perversely quite like it microwaved and all mixed together. Filth I know.
So apart from the rice some of you would then...

There's no beansprouts.

Congrats on your pregnancy by the way Smile

MrsMotherHen · 19/11/2017 20:09

I did and have done in the past even when pregnant

QueenAravisOfArchenland · 19/11/2017 20:10

I totally would, if we ever kept leftover Chinese, which we don't.

I got horrendous food poisoning from reheated Chinese when I was pregnant (on the back of hyperemesis) and ended up being hospitalised so I'm definitely in the don't do it camp!

Twickerhun · 19/11/2017 20:18

Otters rice bacteria behave differently to other bacteria. Rice shouldn’t be reheated.

Twickerhun · 19/11/2017 20:18

I’d eat it. Yum.

SpuriouserAndSpuriouser · 19/11/2017 20:19

I would categorically not, especially if you're pregnant. You don't know when it was cooked, it might have already been reheated before it even got to you.

BigBaboonBum · 19/11/2017 20:20

Never ever rice,but if it’s something else then sure, it just won’t taste great probably

user1493413286 · 19/11/2017 20:21

I did when pregnant but if there’s anything like prawns in it then take it out, also wouldn’t with rice:

Well I've had some of it. Contrary to tasteful opinion it tasted awesome. I bypassed the rice and mostly ate the noodles and salt and chilli chips.

RubyBoots7 · 19/11/2017 21:28

I did a few weeks ago. Tasted tip top.

With rice, you just have to be a bit careful and make sure it's thoroughly reheated - rice left to sit about and not properly reheated is one of the worst offenders for food poisoning.

WrittenandGrown · 19/11/2017 22:56

Totally would.

scoutcat · 19/11/2017 23:38

I totally would, and did last week. I had chicken. I also have emetophobia so usually am very cautious about food poisoning. I wouldn’t bat an eyelid! Definitely avoid the rice though!

SweetheartTreacleTart · 20/11/2017 10:18

I have never had a problem with reheating rice cooked the previous day or a few days before. I have never suffered with food poisoning or stomach sicknesses from doing so.

Needadvicetoleave · 20/11/2017 11:16

Yes, all of it happily.
