Cat nibbled stew
Comments

I used to have a cat that was addicted to dried fruit. One year the little so-and-so found my carefully wrapped Christmas cake, and decided to nibble all the way round the edge. I might have trimmed it up, doused it in booze and padded it up with marzipan ...0

Since you're going to heat it up you'll be fine.
At least (well I'm presuming here) YOU will have washed your hands before prepping your HM food. If I really THOUGHT about whether everybody who worked in food prep had washed their hands PROPERLY before touching my food (and after visiting the loo) I doubt I would ever eat out again.Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily Dickinson

I'd make sure it's heated up and eat it, or like someone else said, just spoon a little into the bin which has been bitten/licked.Save, save, save, save.0

I couldn't eat it sorry I'd either bin it or I'd give it to the cats lol at least someone would get some enjoyment out of it.#6 of the SKI-ers Club :j

I would boil it up tonight before any bugs can breed. Don't leave it till tomorrow.
Then cool it quickly and fridge it.A kind word lasts a minute, a skelped erse is sair for a day.0 -
You will not die from this. Nor be chucking your guts up, nor get a dose of the Bombay quick step. Your own immune system will deal with it.
I used to work as a Chef years ago. After seeing customers food dropped on the floor on a regular basis and then just picked up and put straight on a plate for service, you really have nothing to worry about.Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.0 -
Scrape off and throw away the bit around the nibbled area, then reheat well tomorrow and eat.Declutterbug-in-progress.⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️0

That's really bad advice, the food has been cooked & only just finished cooling, it should therefore be refrigerated asap and only reheated once.
To boil it again, cool it again then refrigerate it would only work if the OP want's to eat it cold tomorrow/later!A waist is a terrible thing to mind.0 -
Eww... Definitely don't eat it! If your cat hunts you could pick up parasite eggs and catch worms or something equally unpleasant0
