What's your rule of thumb for throwing out cooked food in the

Yesterday (Wednesday) I threw out a heel of meatloaf I had prepared last
Saturday and had been eating since (I live alone and a meatloaf takes a
while to eat). Still looked and smelled fine but... The feral cats
outside enjoyed it anyhow.

How do you judge when to throw out something that still seems ok?

My hard and fast rule is that if it has green fuzz growing on it and it
wasn't originally green toss it.


What if it was originally green and originally had no fuzz? Is that
borderline?

Some years ago my mother came to visit me. She found something mouldy
at the back of my fridge, handed it to me and asked me if I was bringing
my work home with me I was doing microbiological research at the
time.
