And then you'll meet your favorite pork store on the Rainbow Bridge. I'm pretty sure that's how the story goes.

I realize now that it isn't dead.

It's gone to the mall upstate, where it's having a good time playing with the other stores.

Still alive after having eaten the mystery food.

But I guess the real test is whether I wake up tomorrow.

What did it turn out to be?

[Sneakeater]

I actually think there's so much alcohol reposing in my body that it would take a very hearty bacillus to survive in there.

Aha! Well, congrats on this step toward an emptier fridge, and also not dying immediately.

[Sneakeater]

Still alive so far.  (If you can call this living.)

[bloviatrix]

Glad to see you made it through the night.

Welcome to the safecall of eating.

I just received an order from the East Coast of what were supposed to be frozen Jimmy's Seafood crabcakes. They were supposed to arrive yesterday. Instead, they arrived today at about 6 pm-completely ompletely thawed. My FedEx driver is notorious for calling it a day at 6 pm. So, they've been traveling around LV in his truck in 80+ weather.  I tested their temps. The coldest registered 45 degrees on my Thermoworks thermometer. Most were between 48-51 degrees. I put them in the freezer and emailed the sender to ask for a replacement. If they won't replace the order, would you toss them? That's my current thought, because I am pretty sure they use mayonnaise in the recipe.

If not for the mayo, I'd bake and eat.

Maybe there's a hungry cat nearby?

Unfortunately there are 12- 8 oz crabcakes. And I am sure while my 2 heathens might want them, I don't see myself dealing with the possible aftermath 😱

Toss.

Send them to Sneak. This is right in his sweet spot for aged food. 😄

Have you ever gotten sick from eating bad seafood? If so, you know that you don't want to risk it.

you gotta toss. i hope the vendor replaces

[backyardchef]

I would toss-- particularly after re-freezing. 

[voyager]

Absolutely toss.   On account of the crab, not the mayo.   Today's commercial mayo has so much acid in it, as well as sterilized eggs, that it is no longer considered a cause of spoilage.   It's the other ingredients that become toxic.

At the memory care where my husband is, they leave the mayo on the tables in the dining room all the time. I was horrified at first, but they have regular inspections, so am sure it is acceptable or it wouldn't be happening.

That is true of mayo on its own (and yes nothing is going to happen if you leave it out, as evidenced by all of Mexico) but once you mix mayo with high moisture items (even just water) it's going to be a real microbial party.

See I thought this was going to be a thread where we chose between kill or just poison.,

I chiseled a bit of white mould off the side of the salami before making the sandwich and I’m still here.

[Sneakeater]

No one will believe me about this, but I think it’s pretty well established that white mold on dry sausage is only to be expected, even part of the process.

Isn't that from hanging in the cave?
