    I don’t remember who told me this “system” to check if food went bad, but it’s a great one imo

    1. If it looks good, smell it
    2. If it smells good, taste it
    3. If it tastes good, eat it

      Yea, good advice. But also good to remember you can’t smell or taste salmonella, e coli, listeria, botulism, etc…

      I would add: if it tastes off, spit it out, as tasting does not imply swallowing.

      Worth noting as well that the taste test can kill you when dealing with some very toxic variaties of wild mushrooms – even if you spit it out.
