How long will defrosted curry last in the fridge?
Hi all, I'm defrosting a homemade chicken curry overnight to eat tomorrow evening, but it's too large an amount for the two of us (originally made for 4). Would a proportion of it last for 3 or 4 days in the fridge to make another meal do you think? Many thanks for any advice. Mimi x

We live in a 1950's semi on the edge of a market town with a decent size garden and we also have an allotment. I'm thinking that we should aim to be totally…
