How old is too old for leftovers?

[papie]

Decide for me. It is currently sitting in the microwave.

H would eat it. I would not.

As long as it wasn't hairy, I'd eat it. I'll eat anything though, so you might not want to take my word for it.

I'd throw it out, but I'm super picky with leftovers. After a day or two, I assume it's bad. Too many instances of food poisioning for me.

We're the opposite. DH wpuld not even let me eat it if he was here.

I'M eating it.

If it was homemade, I'd still eat it. If it was from a restaurant, I probably wouldn't. I don't trust how long they have their stuff laying around.

If it passed the look and smell tests, then I'd probably eat it.

I'm currently wondering a similar thing about potential leftovers...H left the meatballs in the crockpot overnight on the warm setting. I assume they're still okay to eat, right? I mean they might be overcooked, but because they were kept on the warm setting they're not bad and I can have them as leftovers later in the week, right? ha ha

Last Wednesday is pushing it for me. Esp with rice.

I just finished eating it. It was very yummy. Now let's all cross our fingers for my bowels.


I *think* the warm setting is fine, but I'd eat them earlier rather than later.
