Just because you were fine doesn't mean that everyone else will be.
You cannot tell the safety of food by looking at it and smelling it, or by tasting it.
I'm assuming this chilli had meat in, which was left out overnight (not in the fridge) four days ago.
Personally I wouldn't risk it.0 -
Yes it has meat in it.
Right, that's it. It's in the bin. Tuna sandwich for lunch instead :rolleyes:
Thanks everyone who responded - much appreciated.0 -
It's better to be safe that sorry.
This website contains a lot of useful information about food safety:

I'd use it in homemade hamburgers instead of breadcrumbs - you get the extra tomaotey flavour in there too :>)"Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience." Anon.0

I'd eat it. It's not the middle of a scorching summer (sadly) so unless your heating is on 24/7 I'd say it was safe to eat.I have a gift for enraging people, but if I ever bore you it'll be with a knife

I'd eat it, and if there were flies they would provide extra protein! heheFinally I'm an OAP and can travel free (in London at least!).0

As long as it's bread pudding, not bread and butter pudding, it will freeze well.Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants - Michael Pollan

Bread pudding freezes fine, but will last a week in the fridge (well, it does in my mum's house, but in ours it 'magically' disappears in 2 or 3 days max!).The best advice you can give your children: "Take responsibility for your own actions...and always Read the Small Print!"
