Left a huge pot of cooked carrots out overnight......

I assume I should throw them out and start over right?

It doesn't look like anybody wants to take a stand on this--we don't

want you to get sick. But I think I personally would eat them.

Whether or not I would give them to the rest of my family depends on

how long " overnight " was. When I was a kid my mom left stuff out

overnight all the time and we still ate it. But everybody on this

list has gut issues so it's a different ballgame.

Sometimes I have eaten food left all night and I am fine, other times I

have eaten a food left out a few hours and gotten really sick. I don't

chance it any more and compared to everything else a pot of carrots is

relatively cheap. Still drives me nuts when I do it.
