I think it has been left out of the fridge far too long. We have some warm-ish summer weather. Bin it.

It hasnt been left out of the fridge , it was cooked on thursday and has been in the fridge since then.

I still wouldnt eat it though , but thats just because im a bit fussy lol at a total push I would eat something which has been in the fridge ONLY from the previous day but thats just me (and not very money saving I know)

I wouldn't eat it. When mould first starts to form the particles are too small to see. In this weather a dishcloth will become smelly overnight. Therefore in the fridge the mould process is still happening albeit at a slower rate. I know this because parmesan cheese goes mouldy quite quickly.

Your fridge must be almost empty. Are you telling us you go shopping virtually every day?

I have parmesan which is 2 years past it's sell by date. It tastes much better when it is matured. Just shave the mould off and continue. Note: Not recommended for pregnant women.

Dont think i would take the risk to eat it , especially since you are pregnant. think better to be on the safe side and buy something else in for tea.

Snap. Might chance it, but I really wouldn't when pregnant.

If that was me, and I'm in doubt if it's ok to eat - I'd give it to the dog!

I wouldnt give her anything that'd obviously gone off though!! :eek:

I'd probably eat it. I'd smell and taste a little first to see what it's like- I've eaten a 6 year old Yorkie before and it was fine! Meat's a bit different, you'll know if it's okay when you have a taste.

Hi, personally I wouldnt eat it. I have a 3 day rule with leftovers. After that it goes in the bin - this rarely happens because it usually gets eaten or frozen but occasionally things get put in the fridge and forgotten about.

You cant see harmful bacteria and although its unlikely to do you any serious damage the last thing you want when you are pregnant is an upset tummy!

If you really dont want to waste it make sure its heated up really thoroughly and check if it smells and tastes OK.
