I know you CAN eat 5 day old stuff out of the fridge, but it’s at the point where I would be suspicious, depending on the item.
If there was nothing over five days old in my fridge, it would be empty.
I’m obviously talking about leftovers/prepared food.
Yeah, and I've made most of what's in my fridge.
Ok well literally everything tells you not to do that. Do what you want, but general rule is 3-4 days for most meat things, and you should be careful at 5.
I think my pickled onions are gonna be just fine.
I'd be more concerned about old rice. Properly cooked meat can last weeks.
That's the first meat was brought up. You were still making the same assertion.
I am not the original person you were replying to, so no, I did not make any assertion. I simply pointed out what you clearly missed from their comment. Why are you being argumentative for no reason?
The only weeks old prepared meat that I'd eat is jerky, which is preserved (like your pickled foods).
Same, it depends on the item and how I'm able to store it. BBQ i feel pretty comfortable keeping in the fridge for up to 5 days, but most things I try to keep down to 2 days. 3 at most. Certainly anything starchy like noodles or rice, potatoes and such, no more than 2.
