Give them a sniff and if they don't smell horrible, eat them. I've eaten very elderly Quorn and never had any adverse effects from it.

Use your senses - if they smell ok it's likely they'll be fine

I'll add this to the existing thread.

On Sunday I cooked a joint up as it had to be used by that day. It was sliced, covered in clingfilm and put in the fridge, however, due to one thing or another, we have not yet eaten it.

Would you eat it? I was either going to serve it tonight or put it in the freezer. I just wondered if 4 days for cooked pork was too long to be in the fridge.

Thanks.

I personally wouldn't risk that, its just not worth it in the end.

I would if it smelled ok .. I trust my nose for most things & Pork is no more dangerous than other cooked meats. It has a bad rep 'cos there used to a problem with worm larvea in the meat which could make you poorly if not cooked properly, but these days with better hygiene for the pigs generally even slightly rare pork is safe if you have a good butcher/farmer... at least that is what I understand - please correct me if someone knows better

Cooked meats won't go off in four days when kept in the fridge. Look at the "use by" dates in the supermarket, they wouldn't sell cooked meat if the shelf-life was that short.

If it smells fine eat it.

If it looks and smells ok, I'd eat it However, we can't advise you without seeing the meat, so use your own senses and you should be fine.

I'll add this to the existing food safetty thread later.

Cool thanks, pork in gravy it is then (if it smells OK), LOL.

I'm with the "if it smells OK, then go ahead" brigade.

The only time that I wouldn't, would be when the surface feels and looks "slimy" and there is a weird smell. My mom used to keep stuff in the 'fridge for ages.....we dubbed food that looked/smelled like that "Mom's forensic experiments" :eek:, and anything that comes under those headings goes in the Food Recycling Bin.
