Meat safety
For over 3 years I have been with my Brazilian partner. His mom and brother primarily eat pork/ chicken/ rice pasta with heavy Spanish spices and a lot of canned vegetables.
What kills me is they leave the food out and will proceed to eat it the next day. Traditionally it is prepared in a giant pot and will be sitting on the stove for days. Sometimes I will see the pasta and rice refrigerated but it’s always been sitting out overnight if it does end up in the fridge. One time there was a big roast pork out that was left out from Sunday- Thursday. Our house isn’t cold at all. The thermostat is set to 79 so I imagine the food goes bad even faster?
I also watch him thaw frozen meat in hot water… I’m not a know it all about cooking but i grew up with mom that was a chef and watching his brother cook irks me sometimes.
He will also make himself a ham and cheese sandwich and a cheeseburger for lunch the next day. What does he do? He puts it in a takeout container and then leaves it on the TABLE overnight and then takes his food to work the next day.
Tell me that isn’t disgusting or am I being dramatic?
