Do you offer them? Would you eat them?
Was at a party yesterday and the host was giving out leftover chicken and tuna salad sandwiches. They’d been sitting out for at least 6 hours. Would you eat or trash? |

| I would not eat those. I've very food safety conscious. Sometimes when I leave my SIL/brother's house they send me home with leftovers but they and I have the same level of food safety . |

No, that's too long.
I have a pretty tough stomach, but this situation is like playing Russian roulette |

Yes, indoors, but doors were open, so it wasn’t cool indoors. |

| They should have been refrigerated after 2 hrs. I would toss. |

| 6 hours is quite a long time. I would have refrigerated after about 2. |

| I'm very very lax when it comes to food sitting out but I would toss this. Mayonnaise based and they won't be reheated. Hard pass on these. |

| I would not, but I have worked with people who live to take home leftover food from work events including mayo-based sandwiches. |

| I’m pretty lax on this stuff and would not offer, and definitely would not take them. |

| Anything that has been part of a potluck or buffet is trash. I never want to eat food that has not been prepared fresh for me. |
