Oh FFS - meat related

[TrickyBob]

I packed some bbq pork away in a container for me for work tomorrow. I just noticed (2.5 hours later) that I left it sitting on the counter. 

Toss, right? I did eat a piece and I figure if I don't die by morning, I'm ok. 

I hate these questions but man, it was a decent amount.  

[Ohhmm(bligo)]

That meat's met its end.

[speckledfrog]

Cooked, right? I'd eat it.

[meggers5]

I would eat it.

[UMaineTeach]

2.5 hours is nothing
eat it!

overnight and things get sketch

[cbwm1]

I'd eat it. It was only 2.5 hours.

[katb]

I would put it in the fridge and eat tomorrow. If it was 6 hours, I would say no.

[juliagoulia]

Eat it. 2.5 hours is nbd.

[imhischeeseburger]

I would eat it.

[Nonny]

I'd eat it.

[bonquiqui]

Eat

[styme46]

I'd eat it for sure!

[SKP82]

Did you make it tonight, then put some leftovers in a container? I would eat it.

I'm weird about things being brought to room temp and then refrigerated again.

[TC]

Eat. It would not even cross my mind to not eat it.

[TrickyBob]

I did make it tonight, in the crockpot - for like 10 hours. I put it in a sealed container and forgot about it.

I'll just heat it up tomorrow instead of eating it cold like I planned to.

Thanks for answering the question everyone hates

[dexteroni]

2.5 hours is fine. I usually say no in the "would you eat this?" posts, and I would totally eat this.

[BaliHai]

I ask myself, "would this have sat out as long or longer at a bbq or party?" And if the answer is yes, I eat it.

[Deleted]

I'd eat it (well except for the fact that I don't eat pork lol)

But honestly, I really think americans are obsessed with the refrigerator. Obviously the fridge is a good thing, but in general food doesn't go bad after sitting out for 5 min. Sometimes I let stuff sit out overnight, no biggie.

Don't waste that good pork!

[adhdfashion]

I would eat it.

[livinitup]

They do it in France all the time.

[birdistheword]

I'd eat your meat.

Too far?

[liverandonions]

Eat for sure. I leave crockpot meat out that long all the time after cooking and I'm not dead.

[mrsjuleshs]

It's fine. Just put it in the fridge now and eat it tomorrow.

[MrsPenny]

When I wake up in the morning and realize I've left a pizza sitting out, I tell myself that if I was at a party and we were all up drinking all night that we'd still eat it in the morning no problem.

You'll be fine. I routinely don't put leftovers in the fridge until several hours later. They are supposed to completely cool anyway.

[wambam]

Eat it. If you don't, I will.

[candyland]

I would eat it.

[Deleted]

It usually takes me longer then that to put away leftover after dinner. I would eat it.

[bornbaker]

2.5hrs? I'd still tap that...

[thatgirl2478]

I'd eat it. 2.5 hrs is NBD IMO.
