/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I ate a piece of ham that I didnt finish the night before, and had it for lunch. It had sat on my desk overnight until around 1pm. it was a big chunk from a country ham we had. I figured since the whole point of ham was salting it and drying it somewhat for preservation, it should be fine
mostly it was, but that whole week I felt tired and achey all over and my stomach never really felt quite right. Somewhere between nauseous and achey stomach for a week.

not the worst story out there, but I learned my fucking lesson about meat left out even if it was just overnight.
pic related, it was chunk about half that size but same sorta thickness and cut
