Title: Mid-Day Low Participation Sausage Poll
Post by: chronovore on February 24, 2012, 05:31:04 PM
Just realized there's $20 dollars worth of gourmet Italian sausage in the fridge -- from February 15th.

Normally if you smell the meat as it's cooking, you can tell if it's bad or not. Not with sausage though, especially not with Italian sausage, thanks to annis and fennel. I'm heating it up, and have NO FUCKING CLUE if this will kill me or not.

So, am I doomed? Or is sausage good for a bit? This wasn't pre-cooked, and it's 9 days since we bought it. USDA says 2 days is optimal. I'm a week past optimal.

Jesus, what a bad idea it would be to eat this sausage.

But they look so tasty!

Eating old pork is a very bad idea.

Somehow, I don't feel like you're on my side, or have my best interests at heart.

Tossing it; thanks for the feedback, guys.

It's a sad day when an Italian sausage goes unused, unless we're talking about Magus.

Actually the best sausage is the one that doesn't give you tapeworms that get into your brain as eggs and grow until 20 years later your wife wakes up to find you cold and staring with blood running out your ear.

Fortunately there's the Bristol Stool Chart (http://www.thebore.com/forum/index.php?topic=37896.0) to figure out what happened

I went to Oakland on Saturday for ImageCon, and had bratwursts and sauerkraut with some Double Jack.

I was very happy to not have chanced the Italian sausages, which probably would have prevented me from attending the con, in favor of the toilet.

You were in Oakland and didn't alert me :maf

What? What? I am sorry, I had totally blanked that you are in Oaktown. PM me your deets, and I'll make time soon to impose on your hospitality.

I'm pretty sure there would have been symptoms in those 20 years. Someone please alleviate my fears because Father Mike is a creep.

I've had him there for a while now.  Something that genuinely disturbs me about his style.
