I regularly used to eat left-out-overnight Ledo’s Pizza. But I can’t speak for lesser fare.
In the Summer of 1965, I joined the Summer Staff of a large (over 400 Summer Staffers) retreat in Western, N.C. After a few days the entire staff, at least those who ate the chicken and rice, came down with food poisoning.
I woke up around midnight with my insides hurting. My room-mate asked if I had it too. I spent maybe two hours of pure misery and don’t intend to go through that ever again while I live.
The staff Dr and his nurse were passing out paregoric in paper cups from gallon jugs. After maybe an hour, it took effect and I was alright.
Every so often the chow halls there would have a food poisoning day just to keep people on their toes.
Yep.
People live aseptic lives and then wonder why they get sick.
Nuke it and eat it, I don’t need government advice.
I’m sick of the nanny state ‘experts’ from those that have to justify needing more money, more studies all the time.
Get it good and hot but, don’t eat it if it smells funny.
Just eating food not made in your own kitchen, under your own control, is probably quite risky enough already.
A little explosive diarrhea never killed anyone.
...okay, maybe it’s killed a few people, but what are the odds?
That’s how it got the name...Dire rear!
MREs
Meals Rejected by the Enemies!
My theory is us bachelors have a robust immune system.
My brother ex wife was so anal she would through out the pickles if they were 2 weeks old lol
Do people not know about microwaves?
The Pork Chow Mein was good, but the PC idiots took it away LOL
Hint: FIRE makes all MREs better
I just finished Norman Schwartzkopf’s autobiography. He hated MREs and called them, Meals rejected by Ethiopians.
I probably got the best deal on MREs ever a few years back. It was at a gun show and bought 30 cases of 12 meals for $35. This was at a gun show and I think the guy just wanted to quit carrying them around in the back of his camper.
Oddly enough, I liked them. I guess eating them only every now and then makes a difference.
Yes, I could not imagine eating them cold.
How you doing? I never see’s ya.
WI? If yes, every winter converts your back porch into a room sized refrigerator/freezer.
Every troop has a one ring gas burner LOL and a coffee pot
I would avoid the leftover raw oyster or steak tartar pizza.
They usually drown themselves in hand sanitizer as well.
Had a room mate who threw out my apple cider vinegar because it was expired.
You eat microwaved pizza?
