Oh dear....No that you ate these foods, but I can imagine hummus or baba ghanoush that is spoiled would taste funny, but will all the spices in it, you may not notice.

next time - tell the hostess, she will appreciate it

We attended a function this weekend and there was one dish that was gone bad. I wanted to tell the host but DH stopped me from doing that. You, being the host, would prefer someone to tell you that the food was bad?

I'm not friends with the host, DH is a relative of her husband. It was a formal affair and the food was half catered half home made. Not sure if the spoiled dish was home made or catered.

Your DH sounds like an ass, since he'd rather just let a lot of people get sick. Nice.


I'm sure the host would rather everyone go home and vomit copiously.

That's the thing about food poisoning--you can't usually see if it's "bad", otherwise people wouldn't eat it.

OP here. Honestly, I didn't notice and just devoured a plate of it because I had a crying newborn on my lap and whenever I get a chance to eat I don't really care if it's freezing cold, super hot, whatever. DH noticed the bad smell as soon as he went for the first bite. Then I looked at it close and noticed it too.

Can't you tell by the smell and taste when food has gone bad????

No, you definitely can't count on it. Some things--spoiled milk, sure. But most things, no. You can't see, smell, or taste many forms of bacteria.

DUMB. You don't smell the bacteria. You smell their "products"...

No shit, bitch. Just trying to keep it simple. Hope that helped you feel superior for once.

OP - are you Indian? This happens at Indian parties often enough that I know if something is spoiled or not.

Your husband is a bad person.

Chipotle mom, were you the poster a while back who was verbally attacked by an ex-boyfriend's wife (or something like that)? Since you seem to be open about prior posts.
