What to do with food at outdoor wedding

Re: What to do with food at outdoor wedding

  • OP, this is a recipe for food poisoning! 

    Why not get married at 2, have cake and punch from 2:30-5 (with someone paid to cut, serve and clean up)

    There you do not have to have the same food poisoning risks. Food that needs to be kept cold NEEDS to be kept cold. Ice trays, frozen coolers etc only work for drinks that are preferred served chilled, not food that is required to be served cold- a HUGE difference! 

    Do this experiment: go leave a jar of mayonnaise or a glass of milk outside in the summer in the sun on a cold tray for 3-4 hours, then bring it in and see how great it smells. Would you make a sandwich with that? Would you drink down all of that milk? I bet you wouldn't even after it had been out there for 30 minutes!

    This is a story that made the news rounds recently in the UK about a pub that didn't keep their cooked meat cold properly- 31 people were violently ill and 1 woman died. That is one way to have a memorable and talked-about wedding!


    Um. That's making me sick to my stomach just thinking about it. 

    OP, food safety is a huge deal. You don't want to be the reason everyone you love (and you and your FI) end up at the doctor or in the hospital with food poisoning. People with suppressed or weakened immune systems, or the elderly, or the very young, can die from food poisoning. 

    Not worth it to save a few dollars.
    And the rest of us will be fervently wishing that we were dead.  :p



  • Food that's not the correct tempeture makes me fucking gag, safe or not. You can do better, OP.

    Oh God yes. My stomach likes to keep me on my toes and so it randomly decides, "Oh, I don't like that today, even though I loved it last week. Let's get rid of that." Those days are awful. I cannot imagine actually having real food poisoning.

    You know what's super not fun?  Having food poisoning in a foreign country where you can't flush tp down the toilet, and the tp garbage bin they give you is smaller than a big gulp cup.
