4 day old turkey?!?!?

NicolaWynne · Dec 29th, 2011, 07:36 AM

My parents think its acceptable for me to eat 4 day old turkey (basically the cooked left over meat they still have from xmas day, for some strange reason)

Please tell me im not being ridiculous for refusing to eat this?? I dont even think i would eat it if i wasnt pregnant

Sounds kinda rank. I wouldn't eat it even if I wasn't pregnant either, food starts to decay, there has to be ALOT of bacteria in that meat. Gross >.<

I watched something or other on the TV the other night - a cookery programme or something and the chef said not to eat Christmas Day turkey after Wednesday.

Thankyou!!

My parents drive me insane sometimes, especially my dad, im like the black sheep of the family, the only one who seems to have any common sense about hygiene and healthy eating etc. I feel like going downstairs and chucking it in the bin.

I mean, i know theres a recession going on and people are trying to save money n reduce waste etc, but there comes a point when you have to be realistic... i would rather eat dry crackers than rotten meat.

My parents are the worst at this, it drives my OH nuts. They really will make everything last as long as possible. I've actually seen my Dad scrape mould of a pot of chocolate sauce (for ice cream), throw that bit out and then eat the chocolate sauce.

The worst part is when they look at you like your crazy for telling them its wrong. I feel like screaming "HAS EVERYONE GONE F*CKING MAD!?" Ahhhhhhhhhh!!

Do you think its just a generational thing? Waste not want not, war rationing and all that :-)
