Eating leftover takeaway

wannalot

Hello all

I hope this isn't a stupid question!

I bought a takeaway Indian meal on Wednesday night and had a lot of leftovers. I was planning to eat these last night but then I was invited for a meal at a friend's house so The takeaway is still in the fridge!

There is a lot of food there, certainly enough to keep me going for the day but I am wondering whether I should just chuck it out to be safe.

What would you do?

I would eat it, heat it through thoroughly and give it a go.
I have frozen left over take away for dinner tonight.

I'd eat it. I hate wasting food.

Just make sure it's heated right through...or eat it cold straight out of the fridge from the container..saves washing up

I echo Karcher, eat it cold or make sure that it is piping hot, I hate wasting food too.

I'd eat them too.
I used to be a chef and the 'rule' is 3 days in the fridge - at that point you are supposed to dispose of it but in my home I'd even consider freezing it after that :rotfl:

I echo what the others have said - I would eat it but make sure it is piping hot beforehand

I'm always saving leftover takeaways from the weekend to take to work in the week. I do have a cast iron stomach though.

I would nail all of it....

Bin the rice if any. You can get very sick with leftover rice.

I agree rice is so cheap and easy to make I would probably bin that but eat the rest as long as it was blistering hot.

I came home on Tuesday night with a chunk of left over roast beef from DDs that I couldn't use up straight away so I diced it up and its gone in a bag in the freezer to be used once minced up either in a curry or a chilli. I hate wasting food unless its really necessary and I can't possibly use it at all

You must not eat it without testing. PM me and I will test it for you free of charge. Unfortunately testing will destroy your takeaway!
