Was invited by in laws for Christmas Eve dinner weeks in advance. They even invited my mom and grandma. They served us 3-4 day old meat from a dinner party they had days earlier. There was no new food prepared for us including even boiled vegetables being 3 days old. They are wealthy people as am I.
Are we wrong to feel disrespected by this?
Darlin' four day old leftovers aren't up to ANYONE's standards. Having food in the fridge doesn't mean it is still safe to eat. That meal was questionable at best.
My leftovers are lucky if they find themselves getting eaten within four days. Beef or chicken is often eaten at a week old within the family.
You might want to check into the food safety regulations for your state. They are easy to find (all servers have to study them).
Please consider that your family deserve the healthiest option for dining. Certainly better that provided by the least groovy local greasy spoon. OR consider freezing portions for later consumption.
You and your family deserve the BEST care.
