I'm staring at some Chicken Parmesan and some alfredo in the fridge. It's been there since last wednesday. Too old? Yay or neigh?

What's your leftover cutoff age?
 
I usually jus go by smell or color/change. I've eaten some ham that I thought was......suspect.....but I was fine. Generally I'm just a pizza re-heater-upper for leftovers.

I popped some 5 day old bacon in the microwave yesterday. Twas decent.
 
"A good way to help build up bacteria in your gut is eat old ****" An old guy told me once.......Never seen him sick.

Three, four days max.....Then I throw in the back yard. If the dogs don't eat it then some critter will.
 
When I saw the title of the thread, I thought Shawn Broady/ Kevin McMinneyme were characterizing me. Play on... :flipoff1:

I have ate some foods at 5 days, but usually 3-4 is max for me. BUT.....I usually don't let leftovers sit around that long in the first place. When I cook, I always am sure to cook extra, but the leftovers are usually gone within 3 days or so. If I got leftovers, that usually means awesome food easy and quick to fix that's already paid for, so I eat the **** til it's gone. Lol
 
If it's questionable, just nuke it for an additional 30 seconds and it'll be just fine. That's how it goes in our household up to 7 days. Anything after that may require an additional 30 more seconds, or the trash.
