Dude at work just ate a full serving of fried popcorn shrimp that had been in the refrigerator for 8 days. Microwaved it and gobbled it down. Is this some sick shit or what? He won't listen to us.

In the refrigerator at work? You should have thrown it out after it was there over a weekend. Did it have a name and date on it? If not, fair game to be tossed by anyone (meaning you). I'm not sure that shrimp should ever by microwaved. |

Probably should have quotes around the word shrimp when you're talking about popcorn "shrimp". Is that really seafood? Do normal rules apply to heavily breaded & deep fried shrimp like food product?
There's probably more breading than there is shrimp and it's pretty well sealed in there. It's fine. Dry, rubbery, and unpalatable. But popcorn shrimp is like that fresh so 8 days isn't going to make a difference. 5 days is my limit on most fridge-foods. If it's still in there when I come back to work on Monday, it goes in the trash. ETA - I've yet to get sick from leftovers. They just taste like hell after a week in the fridge. I got sick from a fairly expensive seafood restaurant, but it wasn't leftover related |

Quoted: Fuck Yeah food is food!!! You ever had food poisoning? Where you're spraying out both ends? Food poisoning is food that is not cooked properly. Popcorn shrimp is cooked, then heated up again in a microwave. If you heat anything up its probably safe to eat. Unless its been in your fridge for months and has mold and shit on it, that might not taste very good.  |

Quoted: Arfcom = Manly when it comes to Guns, CCW, Military, etc But we don't like bad spelling, no napkins or eww icky yucky old food!!! Grow some fucking balls. The pink pistols are supposed to be the gay ones, remember? Good point I'm going to throw out the finely marbled rib eye's in the fridge and go eat dog shit instead so i can be an operator.  Good quality fresh food is one of the finer things in life. You never know when you're going to be stuck eating tuna, MRE and Iraqi goat meat. I will never take quality food for granted and if you where smart you wouldn't either. If the shtf you will be dreaming of fresh shrimp not 8 day old crap. Get it while the gettin is good.  |

I don't think anyone is saying they PREFER week-old food to fresh food - just that it is neither "disgusting" nor particularly dangerous to eat what was described. Obviously fresher/newer is better than older, but that doesn't mean that old cannot be eaten. |

Quoted: Exactly, and I find it funny that most of us macho Arfcommers wouldn't touch food that is edible just because its old.
