livingentity 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2003 I have a couple of unopened jars of Lemon Pickle that I left in my house this summer when I went to the mountains. It gets very hot where I live and to conserve on energy I did not leave the air on. My question is will the pickle still be good? I am not sure how hot it got in my house but I know it got very hot because some shampoo bottles over-flowed and some candles are stuck to the dishes they were sitting on.

Gauracandra 1 Report post Posted January 30, 2003 Food poisoning is never fun. Even a little and you'll have cramps of immense pain. So when in doubt throw it out /images/graemlins/smile.gif Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
livingentity 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2003 I was thinking the same thing. I have had severe food poisoning and I am very careful now. So out the pickle goes. I already bought some new jars but held on to these but was too afraid to even open them!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

livingentity 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2003 I have not thrown them out yet. I started to and then set the jars back down on the counter. I hate to throw out food!! One Indian friend told me this morning that pickle does not go bad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theist 1 Report post Posted January 31, 2003 livingentity, why gamble with something like this. If they are good then you won't get sick. If they have gone bad then you will get deathly ill.They are just pickles. Dump them. Besides how can you eat them with a clear mind with that kind of doubt? The doubt itself is a type of poison. Play it safe,don't eat them, send them to Tarun instead. Kidding Tarunji. /images/graemlins/smile.gif Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
livingentity 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2003 I threw the jars out this afternoon. I had too much doubt about whether the pickle was good or not so out it went. Sorry Tarun! My Indian friend wanted them too but..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tarun 6 Report post Posted January 31, 2003 How many bottles? Were they mango? lemon? Please describe. I want to 'relish' vipralambha. With pickle: the older the better. SrIla SanAtan GoswAmI Prabhu ki jaya! SrIla RaghunAth dAs GoswAmI Prabhu ki jaya! Next time inform me. I'll pick them up at an undisclosed location. "And don't let anyone know" - sshh!

livingentity 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2003 There doesn't seem to be anyone else around!! They were both lemon - one sweet and one hot. One problem I discovered yesterday is one of the jars had leaked from the top indicating the heat was too much for them. The other jars lid had become loose also. That helped me make my final decision to throw them out. It can get up to 110 here in the summer so I can only imagine how hot this house got being closed up and all. I just got a jar of sweet mango pickle - I'll let you know how it is!! Have you had kerela pickle? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
