Hi,
I have a lovely neighbour,he is a 65 year old man who lives on his own with his dog, he has an allotment and reguarly gifts us potatoes and other vegetables which we are very grateful for. He is not the cleanest of people and he enjoys a drink so kind of lets his housework slip. I pride myself on my house and like to keep it clean so I am a bit funny about dirty kitchens and so on. Well,yesterday he brought me round a huge bowl of stew and dumplings,as he knows we are having a tough time,it looks and smells delicious but I am a bit dubious as to whether to eat it or not,his personal hygiene isn't the best but I don't want to throw it away,he has gone to a lot of trouble making this and I hate throwing anything away. My friend told me to put it in a casserole dish and cook it again for about an hour on low she said that way its completely cooked and should be fine. OMG I feel terrible,I really do because he is such a lovely man but its hard to explain,my friend also said tho its no different to eating from a take out we don't know if the people preparing the food are totally clean and she has a major point.
What would you do? Thanks.x
