When I was 8 my Mum won a massive turkey in a Christmas draw. We started on it on Christmas Day and we were still eating it on New Year's Day, without any ill effects - and we didn't even have a fridge!

The cooked meats you can buy in the supermarket usually have several days before the 'use by' date runs out. I can see no reason why cooking the meat yourself should reduce that period.

If you don't want it, send it round here - I'm feeling peckish!

should I google chorizo or will someone explain?

Spanish sausage, Dot:

Spanish and sausage don't compute

[Buenchico]

Oh come on, Dot.

I'll bet that, when you've been on holiday in Spain, there have been lots of waiters who've offered to play 'hunt the sausage' with you ;-)

I'm not shocked that you copped of with 'staff' Dot. But I am shocked you've not heard of chorizo ;-)

Does it smell ok? do you have a cat, if they are happy to eat a bit of the turkey it is probably ok, just make sure it is really well reheated as hot as you can get it without burning it Depends as well on how cold your fridge is..
