Random Irritations

Yes but food poisoning bacteria is odourless and your meat would still smell fine but could be deadly...relying on smell for food safety is not a good idea. That said without knowing the specifics it difficult to comment on this bird.

Would it not smell bad? I would expect poultry to be quite lively on that front.

A quick Google suggests off turkey will smell strongly, will be slimey and greyish. If in doubt, bin it. Food poisoning on Christmas day ?
 
Bought a nice kettle for Xmas via AO two days ago. Booked a click and collect slot for Xmas Eve. Yodel oversee this click and collect service and surprise surprise, delivery is now Dec 29th. ???

Two days ago a large box arrived at our door, from my work. Assumed it was a hamper because I got one last year as well, but we didn't bother opening it straight away.

Just opened it tonight - it's a whole turkey. Sooo I've now put it in the fridge.. but I'm thinking, that's probably gone off. Right? Oops. It was in a sealed bag with some cold packing around it. But I dunno now. :confused:

I've never really understood what one is supposed to do with a surprise turkey? :) . A hamper I can understand ...

Yeah, our plan was to be elsewhere for Christmas Day and Boxing Day so we didn't need one really. Although waiting for a PCR test result on that front so maybe it would come in handy after all.. :confused:

When the turkey is cooked all the bacteria is killed due to the intensity of the heat.
The main problem with any " Cooked" poultry/ meat is leaving it for too long, that's where bacteria can multiply very quickly.
I once had severe food posing (hospitalised) at My sisters wedding. The chicken was cooked the day before and left in a church hall overnight.
Not something I'd ever want to live through again!

Snap, although am not in the mood for Xmas games at the moment.
 
Airlines who cancel flights giving no reason, then send a communication suggesting it has been cancelled by the passenger (it hadn’t), leaving that passenger to then try and find out if it was a clerical error, prior to shelling out hard earned money on an alternative route. ?

I’ll tell you what, travel companies. Given the struggle your industry has had during the last two years, here’s a tip to aid your long term recovery. Don’t treat your clients like ?.

Having looked at prices of holidays for next year but seems travel companies are not just treating there customers like poo but also extracting the urine.

Just avoid the cross contamination and we're all good. ?
