Not sure if I should have bothered.

The mince was greyish, and did have a slight smell.

It had sat in the fridge for a couple of days, then was frozen, then was defrosted on the counter overnight.

I've made it into chilli.

To eat or not to eat?

I cooked mince just like that once and it tasted horrible. Kept it too long, went a bit grey, smelled bad when cooking.

Interesting.

Hate wasting food but it may have to go.

Yeah, I hate waste too, but it was a bit gross, not totally inedible but not pleasant to eat, so I binned it.

I dumped it.
