We've found that they can go off very quickly once cooked down that soft.
Made a bean, lentil and ham soup not long ago on a weekend and left a bowl
full, covered on the side in the kitchen for nearly 2 days - we just forgot.
Anyhow, came to clean up, found it, lifted the cover, as I was inhaling. I
just got to the yard fast enough to not puke all the hell over the kitchen
floor, then Kath came in and saw me heaving and nearly puked all over the
kitchen herself. Gotta be one of the most foul rotten stenches I've
smelled/tasted in quite a long time. Sounds like yours hadn't gone near that
far though!
