Would YOU eat it?

Every time I order out.
To be honest, I had pretty much decided to eat it, so it's not like I was going to be talked into it. I might be talked OUT of it though.
I honestly don't understand why many here are so squeamish about eating something that's been lying around a while. I've eaten stuff my mom had cooked the day before (she seldom put it in the fridge when she knew I'd be around to eat it later) or so countless times and I've never got sick. Some things get bad very quickly (pasta for example, but even that's usually ok after 24 hours) but almost always it's ok. Or maybe I just have a strong stomach. I wouldn't even really consider being worried after just 15 hours.
Food poisoning, yes...
Worst food poisoning I had was from a beef in almond sauce dish I ate in the South of France once. I was ill for weeks - no joke - after that. I was a young kid at the time, and figured it tasted pretty vile, but having never had a beef/almond dish before, I reckoned I should give it a few mouthfuls before deciding I really didn't like it. Big mistake.
Heh, worst case of food poisoning i've ever witnessed was not my own but my first husband's on our honeymoon. From eating bad pork at Carlos & Charlies in Mexico.
The man was sick in bed for days.
I, on the other hand had a lovely honeymoon.
As i said, FIRST husband......(i pretty much knew it was a mistake from the get go).
I figure any bacteria that may have gathered on the food will be killed in the microwave anyway.
I do the same thing from time to time so I agree, go ahead and eat it. Same thing with pizza left on the counter overnight.
Salmonella, schmalmonella. People were cooking and eating all kinds of stuff for thousands of years before refrigeration, modern food preservation, and "sell-by" dates. As long as it smells and tastes okay, go for it.
And I'll eat food that's been dropped on the floor too. Even a dirty floor.

Too funny.
Add in the vote of another former food professional. Definitely toss it.
You guys are so lame.
If it aint refridgerated I wont touch it. I will not even touch leftovers that have been in the fridge for over two days.
I have no problem with eating food that has been left out for less than 24 hours. I think refrigeration is overrated. I even sometimes eat ketchup that has been out for a long time. I'm still kicking!
As the world's biggest slob, I say don't eat it.
I've got two wild European starlings that poop on my laptop and try to destroy my kitchen. I lol partygoers by eating rabbit poops right off the floor, and I'll happily eat almost anything and drink and cook with milk month's past its printed date. But chicken sitting in a briefcase is a real risk. If the briefcase was left out in a care in nearly freezing temperatures, yes, I'd eat it. If not, toss it.
Your nose is not a reliable guide of bacterial infections. Your nose is extremely sensitive (parts per billion) to several breakdown products of rotting meat, namely cadaverine and putrescine, but those aren't actually reliable indications of a dangerous bacterial contamination.

Eat it, just chug some alcohol of your choice beforehand.
